I would give this 3.5 of 5 stars. The writing is very good and the characters are very interesting. It moved a little sluggishly for me in the beginning as we got to know the characters rather gradually in the context of their day-to-day lives. And there are a lot of characters, so it was a bit dif...
I didn't think I’d like this as much as I did, but I got sucked into world of The House of Silence. The story is set in an alternate universe where we follow the rent boys of an elite bordello. It is well-written and intriguing. I was instantly drawn in to the world and lives of the House of Silence...

In reality, the author takes you on a fantastically-written journey to an altern...
I don't like this and I am quite surprised that it has such good ratings.The BDSM is too heavy here for me - and it includes a rape scene, real rape. That is not sexy. And the whole idea of prostitutes involved in BDSM games as slaves and victims rubbed me the wrong way. I don't have any experiences...
4.5 starsThis is great fun romance/erotica. In this alt-uni world the very wealthy can indulge themselves in legalized houses of prostitution such as the singular and exclusive, House of Silence (HOS) which caters to men only; or they can have their own all-male, personal harems. Male on male loving...
House of Silence I and II really need to be read together as they form one complete story. This volume has background, a lot of sex, and some plot build-up. Volume II is very plot driven, has suspense, some sex, and a resolution.
