Spending her life on the run to hide her dark magic, Quell joins a debutant society to avoid an assassin that’s after her. If she can pass their membership rites, she can hide her secret forever. If not, she will die.

HOUSE OF MARIONNE was filled with magic, dark academia, and action, making for an interesting YA fantasy read. While I enjoyed the world building, I wished there had been more character development. The pacing was a bit uneven at times, though I didn’t have trouble keeping interest overall once I got over the initial hump at the beginning of figuring out what was going on. Quell’s plight had me turning pages to see how she would fare.

HOUSE OF MARIONNE is the first book of J. Elle’s House of Marionne series. I’d continue reading addition books in the series as they are released. I’d recommend this to fans of YA fantasy/romance.
