I love love love LOVE the Alex Stern series! The dark descriptions of the New Haven setting, the use of the arcane, and the secrecy of the societies. Best of all I adored the relationships between all the characters. I feel like we really got to see all of the friendships established in Ninth House grow and develop. I, despite not loving slow burns, loved the relationship between Darlington and Alex. Are they friends, lovers, or demonic soulmates? All of the above? It doesn't matter because at the end of the day, it's a relationship betweeen two hunger-driven survivors who are just trying their best. Pammie Dawes  and Tripp also stole my heart. I cannot wait to see what happens next!
