ARC Review: Bluebeard Retold
A review for the newest retelling by Marissa Meyer. The House Saphir is a retelling of sorts of the Bluebeard retelling. This story takes place many generations after the original and focuses on what would happen if Bluebeard’s ghost came back to finish what he started. A mystery with a supernatural twist and a really fun read.
