I listened to it and really enjoyed it. READ THE CONTENT WARNINGS. It doesnt hold back so go in prepared. The main character is very complex and does some wild things.

Ninth House

By Leigh Bardugo 

Alex can see dead people. Alex has a torrid past with some shady characters. She was given the chance to wipe her slate clean and work at Yale keeping the secret society crowd in order. That is until they fall out of order.

This book was unnecessarily long however I enjoyed it. I struggled with the pacing at the beginning but I enjoyed the premise.
