__________________
Galaxy 'Alex' Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. A dropout and the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved crime, Alex was hoping for a fresh start. But a free ride to one of the world's most prestigious universities was bound to come with a catch.
Alex has been tasked with monitoring the mysterious activities of Yale's secret societies - well-known haunts of the rich and powerful. Now there's a dead girl on campus and Alex seems to be the only person who won't accept the neat answer the police and campus administration have come up with for her murder.
Because Alex knows the secret societies are far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone ever imagined. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And sometimes they prey on the living . . .

I wish there had been a warning
i loved this book once i got into it, but the graphic rape scene should have had some warning, it was important to the story I understand, but i think maybe a warning could have prepared me better, otherwise I reccomend it but you have to be able to stomach that kind of thing. The character Alex was very well developed.

Excellent story and approach
Only one criticism- I’d have preferred a complete standalone for this one.
That being said - this is an excellent story told in a distinct fashion.
Characters are well drawn and the whole thing is very enjoyable.
Lovely twists and turns as we follow Alex through this world.

A tale of magic, ghosts and crime
Seriously, what more could you want. An excellent book, told from the point of view of an underdog heroine who can see ghosts. Absolutely kept me on the edge of my seat, I was listening at every opportunity! A thrilling listen with lots of twists and turns.

Brilliant!
I was so ready to read a story that is meant for older adult audiences and I was so glad when the Ninth House came out. It’s not that the main characters are old here, not at all but the journey they have been on and go on this book makes them somehow more believable and relatable that the Grishaverse characters. And then the story itself - a fantastic mix between dark academia and interesting twist on magic and secret societies. Leigh’s writing is delicious and while the book started a little slowly for me, the more I listened the better it got. Mystery, magic, great world building and brilliant writing. Lauren’s narration is stunning as usual and brings the story to life wonderfully. Cant wait for the next book.

Better read than heard
It is a good story, but probably better to be read than listened. It's a bit hard to keep track of all the weird names when listening.

Awesome stuff
As a middle aged man who usually reads YA books (like Leigh Bardugo's other works), I found this adult book still kept the magic, intrigue and pace you usually find in YA books. Just with a lot more adult themes. I hope she writes more in this series.

Amazing
I was sceptical at first (probably the first hour) as I was so used to Grishavers that this was a big change but with very well known voice. I got really into the story after that one hour and loved it! The performance of Lauren was great as usual, Michael was really good too! Hope we will get the sequel soon enough as I can’t wait! For now, I will be re-listening all the Grishavers and Ninth house!

Another great book from Leigh Bardugo!
A refreshing new story but with all the excitement and magic of her other types of stories. Fantastic characters and some great twists at the end.. roll on the second installment :)

Slow burn but very good!
This was my first audiobook so it took me a while to get into but overall i enjoyed it! I think I will get Hell Bent but not for a while, my TBR (or TBL -to be listened-) list is very long ahah, would 100% recommend it but just be warned it did take a while to get going and the action happened more towards the middle/end!
