Anaxagoras says:

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo is the first of three books (the last of which was just released so no waiting on a cliffhanger). It’s a modern day ghost story set amongst the (historically very real) Yale secret societies. It’s creepy and intriguing and will have you hooked from the first chapter. Leigh Bardugo researches thoroughly for her books and this results in her crafting a world that is detailed and immersive.

Galaxy 'Alex' Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. A dropout and the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved crime, Alex was hoping for a fresh start. But a free ride to one of the world's most prestigious universities was bound to come with a catch.

Alex has been tasked with monitoring the mysterious activities of Yale's secret societies - well-known haunts of the rich and powerful. Now there's a dead girl on campus and Alex seems to be the only person who won't accept the neat answer the police and campus administration have come up with for her murder.

Because Alex knows the secret societies are far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone ever imagined. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And sometimes they prey on the living . . .
