Alluring. Dark. Thrilling. House of Marionne was stunning, elegant and magical. Full of glitz and glamor. Heart pounding.

It was Gilmore Girls meets Harry Potter mixed with the magic of Rachel Griffin's books. It had The Princess Diaries vibes and the nostalgia of The Mortal Instruments series. It was everything I had hoped it would be, and more!

It was a fiery story about a brave young woman trying to cage the wild in her because of fear and society's expectations. It was about finding her true self and reflecting inward, deciding whether to embrace her darkness, while navigating the dangerous, exciting new world she'd entered. And, it was about the feeling of home, family, friendship, and young love.

Daring. Spectacular. Passionate. J. Elle crafted a beautifully unique world, dynamic characters, and a story worth falling for!
