Wealth. Power. Murder. Magic. Alex Stern is back and the Ivy League is going straight to hell in this sequel to Ninth House, the smash bestseller by Leigh Bardugo. 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. Here you’ll find unsolved murders that set a pall over the school; missing students who attempted spells in the forest at night; secret societies; supernatural serial killers; and more! Getting to study abroad? Exciting! Getting to study abroad while being hunted by the ghost of Jack the Ripper? E X C I T I N G. (I say this now, but I would probably curl in a ball and die of fright as soon as I saw a ghost.) If you wish your school had been half as thrilling as the schools in these books, read on!
