ARC Review: The House Saphir – Marissa Meyer Mallory Fontaine and her sister Anais are descended from a long line of witches, but the only magical ability Mallory has is that she can see ghosts. The sisters have kept the family business going, surviving by selling fake spells and doing fortune readings. Mallory, who considers herself an expert on the history of the mysterious and murderous Count Bastien Saphir, better known as Monsieur Le Bleu, who killed three of his wives, conducts guided tours of the mansion where the first murder took place. She didn't expect the Saphir heir himself to arrive one day, seeking her help. Armand Saphir's ancestral home is being haunted by the ghost of Le Bleu and he is desperate to get rid of him. Spotting an opportunity to make some money and enjoy a free vacation to boot, Mallory agrees, but when another murder takes place not long after her arrival, she must determine who the killer is, and she has a sinking feeling they are mortal. Mallory must solve the murder and banish the ghost, all while pretending to use her non existent witchcraft in order to get the money she was promised. http://worldsunlikeourown.home.blog/2025/10/26/arc-review-the-house-saphir-marissa-meyer/
