Imagine if magic was a secret society you could join and you didn't even have to be magically talented? Like Hogwarts for rich ivy league muggles. This is the world that Galaxy Stern (Alex) finds herself in after waking up in a hospital after the grisly murder of her drug dealing friends. Alex has always been able to see ghosts, and this talent uniquely qualifies her to become part of the Lethe. A group that regulates the eight magical societies to make sure that they are doing nothing that will hurt anyone on the outside and that they are following the rules. These groups can build the fortunes of the wealthy or secure political positions or create a new best seller for someone who has writers block. When a murder happens nearby the campus Alex suspects that a society has their hand in this and it's not just a normal homicide.
This story was really hard to put down. I've already started recommending it to my co-workers! I thought Alex was an absolute rebel. She's got a troubled past that helps her work the system to find out the truth. She is likable, tough, smart and I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Thank you Flatiron Books for sending me a review copy in exchange for an honest review!

I've been so excited to read Ninth House since Leigh Bardugo announced it. I loved Six of Crows and was very excited to dive into her new adult book. This book was everything I wanted and more. The book was filled with so much mystery and intrigue. It was also very dark and twisted. The story was complex and had me hooked from the first page all the way to the last one. I had a feeling that I'd enjoy this book and I ended up absolutely loving it! I can't wait for the sequel!
