It was confusing at points, random flashbacks without warning causing me to have to reread paragraphs. It was good though. I really like Alex and Darlington.

Fair warning: this book is dark and contains multiple mentions and depictions of sexual assault, drug misuse, etc.

I picked this book up because I wanted something to get me out a reading slump and I liked Bardugo's Crooked Kingdom series. Ninth House was a constant twist and turn that kept me enthralled and engaged. I ate this book up. It was very good, very dark but the whole thing was fantastic.

Leigh Bardugo never fails to put me in a reading slump + all characters puking all the time which is just unnecessary

Took me a while to get into, was very very confused for about 2/3 of the way (which could be blamed on me starting this book while I was running a fever but ah well). Would have given 3 stars but it's a minus one because there's no TW at the start of the book, and it does contain an explicit r*pe scene.
