![]() ![]() ![]() This is Ninth House, the first adult novel by YA bestseller Leigh Bardugo. ![]() Give me a troubled girl (read: violent girl, ex-junkie girl, and a small-time drug dealer, too) who can see ghosts walking the streets of L.A., snatched out of obscurity, from near death by a mysterious cabal of powerful people who want to trade her a second chance at a decent life for the temporary use of her abilities - to keep watch over the bloody, mystical, dangerous activities of the secret societies who surreptitiously control the fates of nations, markets, the world. A haruspex up to his elbows in blood, scrying the guts of a schizophrenic stolen from his bed in a New Haven reading buy and hold orders for the NASDAQ. A glamor to cloud the minds of security guards. Give me a ritual for an unbreakable pre-nup. I have little use these days for old beardos in pointy wizard hats, for powerful ancient necromancers or prancing elves. ![]() Grungy, dirty, street-side magic - hard-earned, poorly understood, wild and dangerous.
