Synopsis

Eighteen-year-old clairvoyant Blake Wilder stumbles across the body of a beautiful young woman outside The Lower 8, a nightclub exclusively for those with paranormal abilities. All evidence points to club owner Jessie McCabe as the killer, but Blake's desire to discover the truth about the man who has gotten under her skin is complicated by the arrival of her younger sister, Jordan, a girl devastated to learn the hard way that paranormal abilities run in families.

Adding to Blake's growing worries is the absence of boyfriend Nicholas Thorne, who returned to Alder House—the ancestral home of the ancient society just outside of London—only to vanish from her life without a trace. An urgent phone call from Nicholas's ex lures Blake away from Jessie and Jordan—and straight into the crosshairs of some of the most treacherous and powerful Nines at Alder House.

In a story packed with romance, intrigue, and magic, Blake will be forced to fight for the truth, her life, and the future of all those she loves.

About Kes Trester

A native of Los Angeles, Kes Trester's first job out of college was on a film set, though the movie's title will remain nameless because it was a really bad film. Really.

As a feature film development executive, she worked on a variety of independent films, from gritty dramas (guns and hotties) to steamy vampire love stories (fangs and hotties) to teens-in-peril genre movies (blood and hotties).

Kes produced a couple of independent films, both award-winners on the festival circuit, before segueing into television commercials. As head of production for a Hollywood-based film company, she supervised the budgeting and production of nationally broadcast commercials (celebrities, aliens, talking animals!) and award-winning music videos for artists such as Radiohead, Coldplay, and OKGO (more celebrities, aliens, and talking animals!).

Kes' contemporary novels are cinematic, fast-paced, and above all, fun. Her well-received debut novel, the young adult boarding school thriller A Dangerous Year, has been optioned for film/television. She is a four-time Pitch Wars mentor and an SCBWI Susan Alexander Grant award winner. When she's not writing, she can usually be found in the company of an understanding husband, a couple of college-age kids, and a pack of much-loved rescue dogs.

So many action in this book! I thought the first book of the series was eventful, this one as even more🤪 I really enjoyed my ride, and it ends on a cliffhanger so I’m jumping into book 3 right after finishing this review! TW for kidnapping, murder, attempted murder, blood and gore, dead body. Thank you......more

Goodreads review by Anna on February 24, 2024

Wow, did I enjoy this book! From start to finish, Kes Trester's The Nine: Alder House was an exciting read. As a follow up book to her first, The Nine: Origins, Trester didn't have to spend much time in set-up mode, and jumped straight into the action -- and the action is pretty much non-stop, from......more

Goodreads review by Terri on October 02, 2023

I really like this series. I thought the drama at Alder House would take up the bulk of the series but it didn't. In fact, it just opened up way more questions. The visit was more of a plot point to get Blake to understand more of herself and her family's history with The Nine. So this book is defin......more

Goodreads review by Monica on February 05, 2025

The first two books are very short and seem like like they should maybe be split into a decent length duology with a bit more added after "To the Nines," rather than the trilogy it is. These books just seem alfully short for the type of YA they are, Almost like the free books on Kindle. It's a fun l......more
