After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find - her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid.

Description
A Locus Award finalist!
"Bardugo’s latest is a must-listen, introducing a haunting, Yale-based occult world populated with gloriously complicated characters.... A win-win-win, honestly." (Paste, best audiobooks of 2019)
From number one New York Times best-selling author Leigh Bardugo comes a mesmerizing tale of power, privilege, and dark magic set among the Ivy League elite.
This program includes a bonus conversation with the author.
Galaxy "Alex" Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age 20, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?
Still searching for answers, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. Their eight windowless "tombs" are the well-known haunts of the rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street’s biggest players. But their occult activities are more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on the living.
Ninth House is the long-awaited adult debut by the beloved author of Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows. Leigh Bardugo will take her place alongside Lev Grossman and Deborah Harkness as one of the finest practitioners of literary fantasy writing today.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
"Ninth House is the best fantasy novel I’ve read in years, because it’s about real people. Bardugo’s imaginative reach is brilliant, and this story - full of shocks and twists - is impossible to put down." (Stephen King)
"Ninth House is one of the best fantasy novels I’ve read in years. This book is brilliant, funny, raw and utterly magnificent - it's a portal to a world you’ll never want to leave." (Lev Grossman, New York Times best-selling author of The Magicians)
"In this mesmerizing novel, Leigh Bardugo introduces us to Alex, a high-school dropout who gets a free ride to Yale because of a unique talent. Bardugo's New Haven is plausible and frightening, and I was one rapt reader." (Charlaine Harris, best-selling author of the True Blood series)
Commentaires
"Ninth House is the best thing I’ve read in a long time. There’s so much magic here that you'll begin to feel it seeping into the room around you as you read, and characters so real you ’ll practically hear their voices in your ear. Leigh Bardugo has written a book so delicious, so twisty, and so immersive I wouldn’t blame you for taking the day off to finish it." (Kelly Link, author of Magic for Beginners and Get in Trouble)
"Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House rocked my world. I could not get enough of sinewy, ghost-haunted Alex Stern, a heroine for the ages. With a bruised heart and bleeding knuckles, she risks death and damnation - again and again - for the people she cares about. I was cheering her on the whole way: from the first brilliant sentence of this book to the last. More, please, Ms. Bardugo." (Joe Hill, New York Times best-selling author of NOS4A2)
"With an aura of both enchantment and authenticity, Bardugo's compulsively readable novel leaves a portal ajar for equally dazzling sequels." (Kirkus Reviews starred review)

UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED.
I can't even finish this audiobook. I want to...it was considered the most highly anticipated book of the year! But, for me...it's a flop. I wish the author would have just told the story. Instead it begins in the middle...then beginning..and back and forth from there. It was like taking something great and tossing it into a blender. The narrator did a good job...it really was the style of writing that ruined the book for me.

This Book: Totally Worth it
A number of reviewers on this site have lambasted the book for its style of using flashbacks and tying the book together tightly. I admit, it takes a chapter or two to get used to the style, but this is the beginning of a series, and it is worth the time and effort to get into the story. This is a very adult book, think Harry Potter with a lot more Voldemort and frat boys. The world Bardugo created is very solid and fully fleshed out. For those of you who are looking for answers to the mystery she has built, be patient, the pay off is coming, and well worth the wait. Enjoy!

Excellent magical world building
My favorite supernatural reading is, paradoxically, stuff that hews closest to real life. So I’d say this series is a bit more like Harry Potter’s world or Charlaine Harris’s Sookie series than, say, The Magicians—which hauls the reader off into a complete fantasy world. I like feeling of real life being lit up, like awesome things are just around the corner, rather than feeling like I escaped completely. Being given a scholarship to Yale when you’re a poor outsider IS a kind of magic, and this novel shows it to be awe-full and even dangerous. Wonderful characters, a fine story arc leave me looking for the next in the series. And the readers were perfect!

Overwrought
I've so loved all the books in the Grishaverse and was excited to dive into this new offering. Unfortunately, I found the story tiresome, the prose as unnecessary and overwrought as possible, the characters difficult to care about, the backstories trite, and the lead up for what happened to Darlington took so friggin long that I absolutely did not care anymore. Every flashback ruined the pacing and it was difficult to determine when things happened (is Alex only 12 or 15 most of the time?) and the powers of the different houses were the epitome of narrative convenience. I found this book to be a slog and I feel bad about that. But, I would absolutely not recommend it to someone unfamiliar with the author. I would recommend the Grisha books instead.

Fantastic adult debut!
Ninth House was everything and more than what I was expecting. It was dark, gritty, and scary in a non-traditional horror way-but in a way that reminds us that sometimes the scariest monsters are living among us, cloaked as friends, family, and acquaintances. Highly recommend, but HEED THE TRIGGER WARNINGS if you need to because it is dark. Audio: Lauren Fortgang - She's a stunner when it comes to narrating and Ninth House was no exception. Her cadence is perfect for the mood of the book and each character has their own distinct voice.

Timelines are not confusing
I was worried about purchasing this book as others had commented that the timeline was confusing. It really wasn’t had for me to follow and the chapters were all clearly named. Great story - magical, adventures, conspiracies and mysteries to be solved. Overall a great story.

Good plot but confusing
I try so hard to love Leigh Bardugo's books like everyone else, but something about the writing confuses me and I struggle to like the characters. It seems like the characters are made to be deeply flawed and yet you root for them, which is fine, but I don't get the redeeming qualities and end up not caring about them or whether they die. The time jumping back and forth was kind of rough for me and I think if I read it again I might understand more. I did love the way magic was intertwined with reality. It was smooth and believable and I want to tell fantasy authors, "See? You can write fantasy that takes place in our modern world and it works!" The narrators for the audiobook were nice to listen to and I did appreciate getting a male narrator for Darlington's point of view. I wish we learned more about his and Alex's relationship and what happened to him. Maybe next book will be easier to understand with the foundation already being laid.

Just couldn’t finish it
I’m not a big detailed reviewer but this one I felt deserved some explanation. The premise of the book sounded great so I thought I’d give it a go. The story jumps from past to present tense fairly often and I found it really distracting and hard to follow. I’ve gotten through 25% of the book and still can’t figure out what’s going on and have a hard time remembering who the various characters are and why I should care about them. *Trigger warning* There’s a fairly detailed scene where the main character is 12, starts her period and gets raped by a ghost or something like a ghost because he is able to touch her. That was it for me. Time to return the book.

heartbreakingly disappointing
I love Leigh Bardugo. She's easily one of my absolute favorite authors. Even my blind love for her in the fact I own is signed copy of this book couldn't make this good. The book starts off so slow. The first chapters building Yale around us. It feels like Leigh just really wanted to write a book about Yale and came up with the story and the end to try to make it fit. The ending oh my God the ending. You want to talk about jumping the shark? I won't spoil it because spoilers are evil, but just know it is probably one of the dumbest, stupidest things I've ever read. When I initially read all the trigger warnings for this book, I expected a dark and gritty book about the occult in the ivy league. Instead I got some young adult book parading itself around as an adult book, it was like listening to your 12 year old nephew shout the word f*** every five seconds to make it sound like he was a grown up. The actual audiobook was really well done though, performances are great it actually made it enjoyable at times. The narrator's brought a life to the world that Leigh left out of the books.

Spannender Thriller/Dark Academia/Mystery
Ich fand das Buch wunderbar!!! Die Sprecher waren waren sehr gut und haben die Charaktere sehr gut personifiziert! 1A für die schauspielerische Leistung!!! Hab mir das Buch wenige Tage später zum 2ten Mal angehört, weil es wirklich sehr gut ist. Es bleibt spannend bis zum Ende. Ich fand auch, dass das Buch trotz der magischen Welt wirklich sehr aktuelle gesellschaftliche Probleme angesprochen hat z.B. Klassenunterschiede, Frauenrechte, Machtmissbrauch an Universitäten, Mobbing in sozialen Medien... Ich bin schon auf das zweite Buch gespannt!!! :)

Hogwarts war gestern. Yale ist das Heute und das hat es wirklich in sich. Galaxy "Alex" hat Macken und Ecken und wirkt dadurch so real, dass man ihr gerne folgt. Auch die Sprecher haben ihre Sache toll gemacht.

Best voice and story I heard for a while!
Ninth House is dark, snarky, courageous, diverse and absolutely brilliant. I've had lots of fun listening to the voice of Alex/Galaxy, it was a real joy. The characters are deep, three-dimensional and it still feels like there's more to get to know about them. I also loved that some social commentary was interwoven. Beautiful piece, all in all.
