Ninth House was a happy little accident, that landed on my Kindle when I realized this book I've been hearing everyone talk about was on Kindle Unlimited. 

Imagine my surprise, when this book ended up one of my new favorites! I will be recommending this to everyone. 

This book really has it all for me, from beautiful writing, fun adventures, a little bit of romance, and dripping in creativity and mystery. I loved being on this ride with Alex and my new beloved Darlington and I can't wait to read Hellbent next!
