Find a gateway to the underworld. Steal a soul out of hell. A simple plan, except people who make this particular journey rarely come back. But Galaxy “Alex” Stern is determined to break Darlington out of purgatory―even if it costs her a future at Lethe and at Yale.
Forbidden from attempting a rescue, Alex and Dawes can’t call on the Ninth House for help, so they assemble a team of dubious allies to save the gentleman of Lethe. Together, they will have to navigate a maze of arcane texts and bizarre artifacts to uncover the societies’ most closely guarded secrets, and break every rule doing it. But when faculty members begin to die off, Alex knows these aren’t just accidents. Something deadly is at work in New Haven, and if she is going to survive, she’ll have to reckon with the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university’s very walls.
Thick with history and packed with Bardugo’s signature twists, Hell Bent brings to life an intricate world full of magic, violence, and all too real monsters.

“That was the problem with love. It was hard to unlearn, not matter how harsh the lesson.”3.65 stars rating.This book felt much more controlled and thought out than the first one. The first one felt like it was a bit all over the place—too much going on. This one, however, felt like there wasn’t loads going on and the mystery in it was a lot better than the first book. I wasn’t gobsmacked by the revelations, but it was a little bit of a surprise and by the end, in the last 150-200 pages, I was gripped and needed to know what happened next. But I will admit, the beginning felt slow, even if the timeline was passing quickly. It just felt like it took some time to set up the premise of the book and at some times, I was a bit confused with histories. I like that I actually get to meet Darlington, but would have literally killed for some spark or romance or sexual tension between the characters and perhaps something a bit more from hell instead of it being as simple as it was to get there and find Darlington there. Liked how it ended, even if it could have been shortened a little bit. Waiting for the next one.
