i gave ninth house a lot of leeway but i should have read hater reviews before getting my hopes up for this one. it was designed in a lab for booktok people and i am not one of them :')
I heard pretty negative reviews going into this one, but I was thoroughly entertained. It had the same pacing and world-building as the first, so if you enjoyed that element in the first round, I'm sure you'll still be sucked in on this one.
The story was dark, creepy at times, dove into some heavy topics, and definitely had good tension and build up. I will say, the biggest plot point of the book was a bit anticlimactic and rushed, but as a whole, it wasn't terrible. Toward the end, I kept getting a few of the secondary characters confused, but I chock that up to me being busy while listening to the audiobook.
I liked that Dawes got to play a bigger role in this book, and it was nice to see her get the recognition she rightly deserved. Obviously due to the setting and nature of this book, there's a ton of demonic talk and references of hell, so if that's something off-putting to you, I'd go ahead and skip this one.
Can't wait to see how it plays out!

Okay but Alex and Darlington are easily my favorite characters ever.
Alex is harsh and distant and reckless. She's morally grey. A bad person, but also not. She'd do anything for the people she loves and proves to be grateful for those that helped her. On the verge of dying, she thanks Dawes for taking care of her. I can't possibly say she isn't selfish, but she sure as hell will move mountains for the people who made her feel like a person (and will find time to thank these people). She loves Dawes, Darlington, Turner and even Tripp. She does questionable things, but she does them to survive and to keep the people around her alive. She's this unique mix of honor and deceit. You can say a lot about this character, but not that she isn't very well written.
As for Darlington. I frigging love Darlington. Mans opens his mouth and I'm swooning. Gentleman demon? Hell yes. I hope to learn more about him (please don't cast him out again, Leigh)
I'd go to hell for you too, Darlington.
And Alex calling him Danny? Please I died a little.
Was this the best plot? Perhaps not. But man I sure love the characters.
