Just finished “Ninth House” by Leigh Bardugo.  (Author of Shadow and Bone / Six of Crows). It is dark academia at Yale.  The secret societies practice magic and an outsider who can see ghosts has to solve a mystery and pass her classes while keeping entitled magic users from eating the world.  It’s dark and a bit grim, but very compelling.  The main character is a survivor and takes absolutely zero shit. Review the TWs if you need to. #book
