Book Review : The Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. By age twenty, in fact, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most elite universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?

Still searching for answers to this herself, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. These eight windowless “tombs” are well-known to be haunts of the future rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street and Hollywood’s biggest players. But their occult activities are revealed to be more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive.

The mesmerizing adult debut from #1 New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo.

CROOKED KINGDOM LAUNCH!!!!

Fucking school.

Sorry had to let that out first because it has stalled my reading time.

Anywho. OMFG THE CROOKED KINGDOM LAUNCH WAS PERFECTION!

The interview had me in tears. You ever wanna know what Matthias would order at Starbucks? Or what YouTube channel Kaz would have? Leigh answered them! Quite hilariously I might add.

Leigh is just a gorgeous and genuinely amazing person. So friendly and WE GOT COOKIES! LOL

I really hope she does more nyc tour stops because I will definitely be there.

LOVE YOU QUEEN BARDUGO!
