My Thoughts

I loved NINTH HOUSE. It was a gritty tale of magic and murder among college students. I loved the premise that the secret societies at Yale deal with the paranormal and sometimes it gets out of hand. When it does, the house of Lethe’s there to clean it up and make sure there are no permanent ramifications. Honestly, I’ve always been interested in secret societies. I think they’re fascinating, especially when used for fodder in stories.

I really liked Alex, the FMC, and I have high hopes about her and a certain someone in the rest of the series. I loved that Bardugo had me questioning everyone’s motives and trying to figure out what happened. I’m glad the big douchebags got what they deserved. I was way off in the end and blown away at what happened and where it leads. I can’t wait to read the sequel when it releases.
