About the book:

Alex Stern is a girl with a difficult past who grew up in Los Angeles, dropped out of school early and fell into the company of elders, where weed was honoured and the bubble was passed around. And now Alex, the only survivor of a brutal murder, has received an offer to enter Yale, a prestigious university, right in her hospital bed. But what lies behind this offer? After all, the university has turned out to be a centre for secret societies specialising in occultism and magic, and all this is overseen by the mysterious Ninth House. It is the activities of these societies, whose members include many very influential people, that Alex has been instructed to monitor - her outsider skills and ability to see ghosts will help her do so. To uncover the conspiracy, which has a history of more than a hundred years, the girl will have to unravel terrible secrets, balancing between the world of the living and the world of the dead, and observe eerie occult manipulations.
