A middle child-the product of an affair during marriage-several shades darker than the rest of her family-making her a constant reminder of her mother’s infidelity. The story is set in a small country town, in the backwoods of 1980s Mississippi-and told by Ella, an unloved 11-year old. The second book in the Alex Stern series (which will make you want to go back and read the first all over again) is cinematic, surprising, and unputdownable. And let’s not forget the monsters (real and otherwise), ghosts, and supernatural events that she seems to draw like a dark magnet. Obscure texts, magical artifacts, puzzle-loving demons-Alex has her hands full, plus a murderer on campus and her “job” as enforcer for a dangerous thug. Hell Bent seamlessly picks up the thread of Ninth House, with Alex Stern trying to find a way to get her friend and mentor out of hell. Murder, magic, secret societies, a gauntlet to hell-Bardugo is a fantastic storyteller who knows how to keep the reader both guessing and completely transfixed. If you just got a Kindle e-Reader from Santa or are still rocking an older model, the best Kindle books of January include the latest from Leigh Bardugo, Tracy Kidder, Jonathan Carroll, and more. The new year is upon us and there is no shortage of great books to curl around the fireplace and read a good book.
