I’m reading Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, and when I tell you it scratches an itch for me, oh man. I LOVE the weird occult stuff in the present day world. I know there’s a second book and a third coming in this series, but what else is out there that might scratch the same itch?
I’m open to series and standalone, not interested in romance/romantasy although sex and relationships are totally fine – not seeking strictly prudish reads, lol. I’ve already read Dresden Files and didn’t vibe with Iron Druid Chronicles. I’m okay with litfic and magical realism stuff if it’s on topic (recently read The Bone Clocks and liked it although it’s not the same vibe as what I’m looking for). Oh, and for whatever reason I particularly like female protagonists, although that’s not a hard requirement.
Appreciate any suggestions!

Mona Awad’s “Bunny” has some college occult vibes. Felt like I was absolutely tripping the whole time I read it. Its a short snappy read too, so you’ll be done in no time.
