Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
Yale University is full of secret societies that actually have magic abilities. Alex, a runaway living on the streets in Los Angeles is giving the opportunity to go to Yale because of her unique ability to see ghosts. She joined Lethe house which has the responsibility to oversea the other houses to make sure they don't get out of hand. During Alex's first two quarters things get out of hand.
It's a mystery story where Alex has to solve the murder of a town girl which probably involves one or more of the other secret societies. To make matters worse, her mentor has gone missing. Good times.
I did enjoy this. The characters had some depth. They mystery had plenty of twists and Alex has plenty of her own problems in her backstory. I have the second novel in the series on hold at the library.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
