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.

Rezensionen

Praise for Hell Bent

A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2023 by The New York Times, The Week, Kirkus Reviews, PopSugar, Distractify, Booklist Queen, The Nerd Daily, and more!!

"A tour de force of suspenseful pacing and empathetic writing... The beauty of Hell Bent is that for all the bleakness, the sense of wonder somehow still remains." -The New York Times

"All hail the queen of dark academia!... Ninth House and Hell Bent may be Bardugo's first books for adults, but you'd never know it, or care, because you're so busy following all of the action... you'll want to capture your copy quickly." -NPR

"[T]he return of protagonist Alex Stern and her mystical version of the Ivy League is very welcome... Watching this damaged loner bring together a squad of ride-and-die friends is endlessly fun, and Bardugo finds new depths to most of her supporting cast." -The Washington Post

"Gut-wrenching and deeply human, this book will tug at your heartstrings even as it chills you to the bone.... Standing head and shoulders above the already impressive Ninth House, Hell Bent is one of the best fantasy novels of the year.." -BookPage (starred reviewed)

"Thrilling ... fascinating supporting players ... The taut plot, often grisly magic, lavish scene-setting, and wry humor combine to make this just as un-put-downable as the first installment. Readers will be wowed." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Bardugo doesn't flinch from the dark sides of magic and human nature....This portrait of a survivor's dogged determination to accomplish her goal will appeal to readers of dark academia, urban fantasy, and horror." -Booklist (starred review)

"Vivid, intelligent, and funny at just the right moments, but best of all are the complex characters." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Hell Bent is a taut, complexly plotted headrush, stocked full of complicated monsters, entitled academics, and grifters big-time and small." -Book of the Month

"Hell Bent is just as outrageously good as Ninth House, if not better... This mystery runs on vibes, and the vibes are unparalleled." -Chicago Review of Books

"Hell Bent is everything fans of Bardugo's Alex Stern series could have asked for: It's thematically richer, its characters are more complexly rendered, the darkness lurking at the edges of its New England-set world of privilege is more frightening, and its wit more biting." -Paste Magazine

"Although Hell Bent is one of my first reads of 2023, I can confidently see it being a top read of the year by the end of it." -SFF World
