Hell is empty and all the devils are here...

Alex Stern made it to hell and back more than once, but this time she left the door open behind her. Demons are creeping through the streets of New Haven and the Yale campus, feeding on the souls of the living, terrifying the dead. Alex and her allies can hunt them, but it's only a matter of time before the gates to the underworld spring wide and they face a war they cannot win. To stop it, they'll have to reach deep into the secrets of Yale and its societies, and discover the truth hidden in Alex's own blood.

While she struggles to hold onto the dream of a future Yale once offered, Alex must contend with the machinations of a corrupt Lethe Board and a deadly vampire with his own connection to the societies. But for the first time in her life, she won't have to face the fight alone. Dawes, Turner, Mercy, and even Tripp will have roles to play, none more so than Alex's mentor, Darlington, the golden boy who lived so long in her head, now back in the flesh and cursed with dangerous powers of his own. Hell itself is stalking the delegates of Lethe House, and they're all about to learn that demons don't play by human rules.

Dead Beat is the explosive conclusion to the Ninth House trilogy from Sunday Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo.

Unfortunately not my favourite read from Leigh Bardugo. Where the first and the second book had compelling villains, were extremely atmospheric and kept you on the edge of your seat, this one felt like it had been homework for the author. The emotions of the characters were over explained and Bardugo often forgot to follow the rule of showing instead of telling, like she couldn’t trust her readers to read between the lines. I missed the greediness and genuine complexity of the main character.
The romance between Alex and Darlington seemed very rushed to me compared to the very slow burn of the other parts and unfortunately bending to cliched romantasy traditions. In the first two books they’re interest in one another seemed to mostly exist on a subconscious level but in this one, we went from 0 to 100, without anything new happening that would make the characters closer.

The same steam was missing in the final showdown. In conclusion I believe that this series would’ve either needed another part, or should’ve been a standalone. I’m a big fan of Leigh Bardugo, because I assume a lot of the problems this book had could’ve stemmed from pressure of the industry.

Disappointing compared to the other parts
