About this book
Galaxy Stern has survived things that should have killed her—literally and figuratively—so when Yale offers her a full scholarship, she's determined to figure out why, even if it means playing by their mysterious rules. Her job? Keep tabs on the university's eight secret societies and their occult dealings, which turn out to be way darker and stranger than anyone on campus realizes. Alex is scrappy, sharp, and haunted by her past in the best way, and watching her navigate elite academia while uncovering genuinely eerie supernatural mysteries is absolutely gripping. This is the kind of atmospheric, twisty read that makes you want to stay up way too late and keeps you guessing until the very end.

“Create a playlist called Ninth House. Dark academia haunted by secrets and survival. Gothic, unsettling, layered with whispered vocals and industrial edges. Think noir-tinged indie, haunting orchestral moments, and brooding alternative. Atmospheric dread mixed with sharp, determined energy.”
