Dead Beat

Ninth House Series #3

Hell is empty and all the devils are here…

Alex Stern has been to hell and back, but this time she left the door open. Now demons are spilling into New Haven and the Yale campus, feeding on the living and terrorizing the dead. Alex and her allies can hunt them, but if the gates of the underworld open fully, they’ll face a war they may have no hope of winning.

To stop it, they must uncover the darkest secrets of Yale and its secret societies—and the truth buried in Alex’s own blood.

As Alex struggles to hold on to the future Yale once promised her, she finds herself caught between the schemes of a corrupt Lethe Board and a deadly vampire with ties to the societies. But this time, she isn’t fighting alone. Dawes, Turner, Mercy, and Tripp all have a part to play, alongside Alex’s mentor Darlington, the golden boy who once existed only in her mind and has now returned in the flesh, cursed with dangerous powers of his own.

With hell closing in on Lethe House, Alex and her allies are about to discover that demons don’t play by human rules.
