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.

Dark in a way that is not interesting or new, just depressing and disturbing

Ninth House 4/5
I liked this book. The mystery wasn’t the most interesting at first, I preferred the mystery of Alex’s past more. But it does a good job wrapping up and explaining everything, and you can see where most things are coming from after the reveal which is always a key part of any good mystery. One thing did come out of nowhere at the end but it made for an interesting plot point. Overall the book’s plot is interesting, the characters are fleshed out, and the prose is decent. Pretty good! Would definitely recommend for lovers of mystery.
