Ninth House

Let me start with, this is not YA. That being said, after a rocky beginning, I found this to be an interesting and adventurous book. Alex has always been able to see ghosts. It terrified her all her life. When she wakes up in the hospital after a bloody crime scene, in which she is the only survivor, she is given a new chance at life. Join the Ninth House at Yale. Be a student and moonlight as a protector of the other 8 houses during their rituals. See, the secret societies at Yale are all supernatural and are responsible for many of the economic and social systems of the world. They must be fed with ritual and often blood to keep the rich rich. The more Alex is involved, the more she is convinced something is wrong. When her mentor Darlington goes missing, she is determined to find a way to bring him back to this world. But forces are working against her and if she is successful, he may reveal her darkest secret. There are some scary moments in this book. These ghosts ain't no Caspers for sure. But as the story moves along, it gets more difficult to figure out who is good and who isn't, And isn't that quite a bit like life? Happy reading my friends!
