Another book full of adventure
⭐️Overall rating: 5/5
Synopsis: Alex is “hell bent” on breaking Darlington out of hell (sorry, I couldn’t help myself). From solving puzzles, run ins with drug dealers, and dealing with the drama of the mystical world of the secret societies. There’s a lot of work in order to take four people to hell, bringing up challenges from everybodies past.
👍Pros : This book fleshes out some more of the characters we were introduced to in Ninth House. Pamela and Alex grow their friendship and break multiple school rules together. Abel becomes more reliable and his past is uncovered. Tripp is the comic relief but is necessary nonetheless.
This was a story that I really enjoyed and I’m excited for if/when the third book comes out.
