The Marionettes

By: Katie Wismer

Narrated by: Stefanie Kay

A betrayal. A deadly secret. An unlikely ally.

Valerie Darkmore’s entire life has been building up to this moment - her initiation into the Marionettes, the prestigious league of witches sworn to serve the vampires. As one of the last remaining blood witches, her spot is almost guaranteed. At least, so she’d thought.

The academy is full of sabotage and secrets as the tasks begin, and Valerie quickly realizes she has more than her spot on the line. Her survival seems just as uncertain. The closer she gets to the final trial, the more she learns everything - and everyone - around her isn’t quite what it seems.

Witches, Vamps and Tramps oh my!

Valerie is exactly the type of character I love to root for. She's strong, vulnerable and has a crappy family (I have issues). She doesn't have it all together, but she is trying her best to make it. I love that Katie allows her to make mistakes along the way and she isn't just the ultimate badass that never faces danger "ahem, dear god the Russians". Her friends have her back and I can tell I'm actually going to like their parts in the story and not just want to rush past it to get back to the spicy tension with a certain someone. Overall, great start to the series! love the narrator. Can't wait for book 2 on audio!!!

Engaging

Kept my attention and had lots of twists and turns .. The end was really not what I expected

Love Vampires and Witches?

This was a really good witch/vampire paranormal romance. The story takes place at the MCs academy.

This was good!

The Marionettes is a compelling read! I could not stop listening to it, and I am excited for the sequel! This is exactly what I have been wanting in a paranormal read. I just wished there was more; it felt like there was something missing. But that ending, what a cliffhanger!!

Amazing book, amazing audiobook

This is everything I’ve been promised paranormal romance books have! Not usually my taste in genre, but Wismer has made me a convert.
