She’s entering her second year at Yale, where she’s enrolled at the leisure of Lethe House, oversight body of Yale’s magic-wielding secret societies. In this impeccably titled sequel, Alex is determined to drag him out. When we last saw Leigh Bardugo’s hard-as-coffin-nails antiheroine Alex Stern, in supernatural barn burner Ninth House, she was reeling from the loss of mentor Darlington, recently banished to literal Hell. Enter Hell Bent: decidedly unmerry, dark as a devil’s deal, and exactly what I want to sink into this January. In other words, an antidote to all things merry and bright. I always head into the new year with a taste for something bracing-a gin gimlet over hot buttered rum, a swim in a cold pool over a lounge in a fuzzy blanket.
