Dead Beat (Ninth House Trilogy #3) by Leigh Bardugo is a fantastic finish to the series. There are lots of secrets revealed, battles fought, and evil, in its surprising forms, vanquished. Alex Stern went to Hell and, unfortunately, left the door open. Evil, in the form of demons, is flooding Yale and the surrounding area, with little to stop it but a determined group of Lethe members: Dawse, Turner, and Darlington, plus the good friends they've made along the way. Bardugo explores the grey space between good and evil in a thoughtful way. What makes good guys, good and bad guys, bad? She brings the series to a satisfying conclusion.

What do you do with a precious piece of your history, a shabby armchair, a battered violin, a set of out-of-date encyclopedias, that no longer fits into your life? That's when you need The Museum of Ordinary People by Mike Gayle. Jess's mother dies suddenly, and she must clean out her childhood home, but the London flat she shares with her boyfriend doesn't have the space for the treasures of her childhood. She discovers an unofficial museum kept in a lock-up (a storage space, for the non British among us) in a furniture removal company. There she meets Alex, the new owner, who didn't even know the museum existed. It is the start of good things, but first the bad stuff needs to be cleared away. I found this novel to be about grief and loss, but hopeful.
