Summary
The Children of the Gate wait for the call to Rise.
Azzy Brimvine knows her brother is in the vast city of Avergard. She must find him, but time is not on their side.
In the House of Seven Smiles, Azzy struggles to understand the constraints and limits of her power. She finds the whispering voices that guided her for so long, suddenly silent. The enigmatic Lord Wallach is both a frustrating ally and a dangerous mystery, and a strange entity lurks among the household servants. The haven Azzy sought may not be as safe as she thought...but is anywhere truly safe in the Above?
The city of Avergard is full of monsters and secrets, and a dark history festers at its root. A yawning pit nestles in the house of a scheming lord, who will use Armin's dangerous gifts to raise history, and raze the city to the ground. As Azzy finds herself and her brother pulled into these machinations, she must navigate the politics and society of Avergard's brutal ruling class to save her family and friends before the Gate consumes them all.

a great addition to the series
After reading Marrow Charm and loving some time ago I decided to reread that to refresh my memory before starting Skin Curse. I loved being back in this world.
This is not a typical fantasy book. This is dark and grizzly and I was all for it. Kristin does such a good job of her world building and character portrayal you can't help but be absorbed in the story. Skin curse follows on from Azzys adventures in the above trying to find her Brother. She is now part of The Lord of Seven Smiles house and although this should offer her some respite she is faced with a whole new set of dangers that she must overcome.
Honestly if you love fantasy books you need to read this series and if you like audios check out the audio version which was what I did with this one. The narrator does a brilliant job with the story telling and I loved how she played the characters it defiantly helped build up the suspense of the story.
I can't wait for the next one to see whats going to happen next
