The Ninth House by Leaigh Berdugo

 Magic is alive and well on Campus. Secret Societies like Skull and Bones operate freely. Having constructed tombs under their fraternities the 8 houses of magic are thriving. The ninth house is the Lethe House and their job is to make sure the secret societies follow the rules and things do not get out of hand.


Alex is the newest member of this small order. Her background is spurious. Former drug user who has no idea why she was was chosen. Things start to go awry when one of the 8 houses has a ritual and a bunch of greys or earthbound ghosts try to get in the the mix . Something is wrong. Later that night night Tara Hutchins is murdered. She has occult markings and the murder is done in a ritual fashion. One of the 8 houses broke the rules.


What follows is a modern mystery with occult trapping. Alex and her mentor, Darlington go to the different houses asking question and snooping around. Along the way they team up with detective turner. At first he is skeptical but then understand that the occult is far too great for him to tackle alone. In the course of their investigation Alex is attack by Gluma and scarab Beatles.


One or several of the houses are peddling magic and overstepping the bound. Within Lethe house there is corruption. The end is rather ironic and surprising.
