6/12/2023 0 Comments Ninth house hell bentAlex also has to deal with some unfinished business from her past, as she once finds herself tangled in some shady business and comes across a new foe that may just be out of her league. Whereas Ninth House is propelled by a murder mystery, by Alex’s own mysterious past and unreliability, and by Darlington’s disappearance, the storyline in Hell Bent feels more like a quest of sorts, as Alex and Dawes have to sift through ancient texts and old journal entries to try to locate an artefact that may help them in their attempts to reach hell. After a botched attempt risks exposing their plans to the Board, Alex and Dawes enlist the help of some willing and not-so-willing allies. Of course, opening a door to the underworld is no easy feat and it very much goes against protocol. Still recovering from her several near-death experiences, and attempting to keep up with her coursework and maintain the facade of being a regular(ish) student, Alex is determined to rescue Darlington from hell. In Hell Bent, the long-awaited sequel to the high-octane Ninth House, we are reunited with the danger-prone and dangerous Alex Stern. That was what Lethe and the societies demanded.
