An INSTANT New York Times bestseller! An INSTANT USA TODAY bestseller! An INSTANT Sunday Times bestseller! A modern-day YA romantic fantasy series opener about a glamorous magical world of social elites, forbidden love, and a dark magic that could destroy it all. Now in Paperback! "Dazzling and deceptive. The perfect escape!" - Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Ballad of Never After "The forbidden love story of my wildest dreams!" - Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis BURY YOUR SECRET OR DIE FOR IT. 17 year-old Quell has lived her entire life on the run. She and her mother have fled from city to city, in order to hide the deadly magic that flows through Quell's veins. Until someone discovers her dark secret. To hide from the assassin hunting her, and keep her mother out of harm's way, Quell reluctantly inducts into a debutante society of magical social elites called the Order that she never knew existed. If she can pass their three rites of membership, mastering their proper form of magic, she'll be able to secretly bury her forbidden magic forever. If caught, she will be killed. But becoming the perfect debutante is a lot harder than Quell imagined, especially when there's more than tutoring happening with Jordan, her brooding mentor and-- assassin in training. When Quell uncovers the deadly lengths the Order will go to defend its wealth and power, she's forced to choose: embrace the dark magic she's been running from her entire life or risk losing everything, and everyone, she's grown to love. Still, she fears the most formidable monster she'll have to face is the one inside. A must-read for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Shelby Mahurin, and Alex Aster.

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.
