House of Rayne

De: Harley LaRoux

Narrado por: Allie Shae, Jaclyn Kelso

Gothic sapphic romance meets supernatural suspense on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest, as a night of forbidden passion opens a Pandora's box of dangerous secrets and dark magic in this sinfully spicy, standalone novel by New York Times bestselling TikTok sensation, Harley Laroux.

Salem

I wasn't supposed to be here.

I was supposed to be marrying my fiancé, looking forward to a tropical honeymoon. Instead, I found myself on a ferry headed for historic Balfour Manor on Blackridge Island, in the Pacific Northwest. Now I'm stranded, with a woman I'm irresistibly drawn to.

Rayne holds secrets as dark and mysterious as her old house. Crimson shadows stalk the halls and strange voices call out in the night—but it's she who haunts me most.

Following a gruesome murder, the island's true nature is revealed, and every night becomes a fight for survival. Something is stalking the forest, killing indiscriminately...

And this time, we're its prey.

Rayne

Death has followed me since childhood. My mother's murder and father's violent death changed me, teaching me just how cruel the world could be.

I never got what I wanted—until Salem showed up at my door. She's adventurous, beautiful, and doomed if she stays here. Now, I suddenly have something to lose: the woman who broke down my walls and saw through my mask, who showed me I'm worth loving.

My family has long been buried, but even the vilest of secrets must be dug up again to survive the evil that hunts us. I finally have something to fight for, and I'll do whatever it takes to save her.

Outstanding Performance

I loved this story so much I listened to it twice . Narration was fantastic and it was hooked after the first chapter

Love & Horror

The story and narration was top notch. Being from the NW, I can relate to seasonal changes in weather. I was hoping for a little more detailed closure on certain characters and some story arches were a little repetitive. Overall it was a great read and now I'm looking for more!

This is my favorite read of 2025

Absolutely amazing. I love else sapphic book that is not about the main characters being gay. This book gave me mystery, suspense and horror, and at the same time it was very romantic and steamy.

Compelling Story!

The plot and storytelling were so compelling, I couldn't stop listening. Throughout the book, I was eager to know what came next.
The love story and scenes were great, and I enjoyed that the focus was on the events and their relationship development; not the fact that they were queer.
This book had a great mix of drama, creepy, moments of 'NOPE', sexy, and funny, with a HEA. The performance of the voice actors was perfect 👌🏽 as well!
10/10 Would recommend, and I'm definitely reading again!

Great horror story mixed with spicy romance

Loved the different voice actors. Good descriptions and characters. The spicy scenes were very well done!
