The House Saphir by Marissa MeyerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Mallory comes from a family of witches, but the only magic she has is the ability to see ghosts. She knows enough to fake her way through the family business, but she is not very successful. Mallory knows a lot about Count Bastien Saphir, specifically that he killed three wives over one hundred years ago. When his ancestor offers her a large bounty to rid his estate of Bastein’s ghost, she can’t resist. Unfortunately, a new murder takes place while she is there, and she finds herself in the middle of the investigation.
The House Saphir is a standalone mystery wrapped up in a supernatural story. The beginning of the story grabbed my attention and pulled me along, but then the middle seemed to drag, and I was wondering where it was going. When the ending came, I couldn’t help but think I was missing something because everything wrapped up too quickly. A good read, but only for those who thoroughly enjoy this genre.
