The House Saphir by Marissa MeyerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Con-artist and "fake" witches, Mallory and her sister Anaise, are about to be arrested. But Count Armand Saphir knows Mallory can speak to ghosts and needs her help with his ancestor who's grown violent over the last year in Armand's home. So, in order to get away from the detectives determined to arrest the sisters, and seeing the place that the Saphir lord passed away at and the famous fountain is a bonus for Mallory.
Feels like a light, fun feel to the story even though Mallory doesn't trust others.
There wasn't much in the way of action for me. Kind of slow, with getting to know characters and putting them together as needed. I'm not really drawn to Mallory. She just doesn't seem to grow for me through most of the book and there's not really any history on her, or at least referenced.
This was fun with magical beings in the world. The ending was good as the last third kept my interest and was moving well. A light story that seems to be a standalone.
