The writing never let me down in this one, and Bardugo definitely shows why she's such a popular author. Alex goes on a hunt for Darlington, one of the leaders of this society, as he has disappeared a month prior. All that is clear is that it involves death, ghosts, and magic. What happens at this society is very much a mystery. We follow Alex Stern, who is a member of a secret society at Yale university. I thought the concept of this book was very unique, albeit a little bit vague, as expected from Bardugo. Ninth House proved to be such a perfect read for the gloomy fall months. But, boi, am I glad to say that I was WRONG. While I've loved Bardugo's other series (specifically Six of Crows), I would even go so far as to say she is one of my favorite writers, the many mixed reviews for Ninth House in combination with the fact this was pitched as a horror-y adult thriller didn't really manage to excite me. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure if Ninth House was going to be a book for me. That's the danger in keeping company with survivors."
