Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

“Mors irrumat omnia. Death f***ks us all.”

I am, before all else, a Leigh Bardugo stan. I know a lot of people who didn’t like Ninth House, and I’ll admit that it’s nowhere near as good as her other books, but I still really enjoyed it. Set at Yale, Alex Stern is recruited to the Lethe, an organization tasked with monitoring the occult activities of Yale’s secret societies.

I did kind of see the plot twist coming, but the way it happened caught me off guard.
