THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING SEQUEL TO NINTH HOUSE

THE GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER FOR BEST FANTASY OF 2023
__________________

Wealth. Power. Murder. Magic. Alex Stern is back and the Ivy League is going straight to hell.

Galaxy 'Alex' Stern is determined to break Darlington out of hell - even if it endangers her future at Lethe and at Yale.

But Alex is playing with forces far beyond her control, and when faculty members begin to die off, she knows these aren't just accidents.

Something deadly is at work in New Haven, and if Alex is going to survive, she'll have to reckon with the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university's very walls.

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fantastic tense and dark

You really get to know the more peripheral characters in this book and the arcane becomes even more deep and dark. I couldn’t stop reading!

Great narrators, overall compelling but drags in a couple of places

Got this immediately after finishing Ninth House and I have already listened to it twice through. Story has its moments where it drags a bit, but over all it’s a superb sequel to Ninth House, and what an ending!

Freaking awesome

Absolutely killer narration by Lauren. She brings this book to life and she’s so good to listen to.
The book was good although I think it got a bit slow in places. Worth pushing through those bits. Overall it was fantastic.

Brilliant!!

My most anticipated book of this year, and it did not disappoint! the writing was excellent, and the plot captivating, i couldn't stop listing, had me on the edge of my seat. The narrator's did a great job as well! I hope there's gonna be more in this series as the ending was left open!
