Ninth House

“People didn’t go looking for lies that didn’t have a reason.”Honestly, this book wasn’t what I was expecting yet it was, at the same time. It’s hard to explain, but, basically, I thought it was going to be a Holly Jackson meets dark romance set themed book that centred around a murder mystery at Yale. It was, in a way, but not. There is a murder mystery, and it is at Yale, but there’s also a unique sort of magic. Think of The Order on Netflix—like that, but darker and without werewolves. And, honestly, I wanted to be gripped into the mystery. Unable to tear my eyes away from the book until I reached the end—but I wasn’t. I simply paced through the book at the rate I did, content. The revelation didn’t all that surprise me, like I had wanted, but the relationship dynamic between Darlington and Alex has interested me and so has the world that it is set in. It’s different, which I think is refreshing because I like different. But I would loved for it to have been gripping in a way that left you reeling.

There were always excuses for why girls died.Brutal, feminist undertones, unique premise & setting, non linear timeline didn't do it for me though. 

Ha sido una sorpresa para mí. Iba sin expectativas, y aunque al principio considero que el ritmo es un poco pausado, realmente ha sido una historia que me ha sorprendido mucho. ¡Y menudo final! Necesito ya la segunda parte, sin duda.Oscuro y retorcido, con (aviso) escenas de contenido sensible que pueden resultar incómodas para algunos lectores.
