Narration In Favor Of Books The Diviners (The Diviners #1)

Evie O’Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City—and she is pos-i-tute-ly ecstatic. It’s 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult. Evie worries he’ll discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far. But when the police find a murdered girl branded with a cryptic symbol and Will is called to the scene, Evie realizes her gift could help catch a serial killer. As Evie jumps headlong into a dance with a murderer, other stories unfold in the city that never sleeps. A young man named Memphis is caught between two worlds. A chorus girl named Theta is running from her past. A student named Jericho hides a shocking secret. And unknown to all, something dark and evil has awakened.

"Ms. Bray, I have an idea for your next book.""Yes?""Well, the researcher who worked on The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York left some notes lying in the library, and someone I know swiped 'em.""Perfect! What should we make it about?""Hmm, not sure. Let's workshop it.""Okay. Target audience?""Well, you have some cred in Young Adult, and the field is on fire.

Re-read 8/8/19: This was my first time reading this since the third book came out and Libba Bray is a foreshadowing MASTER.

There is love. Oh, there is so much love that I am having for this book and Ms Bray right now. Even taking the length into account, this novel took me longer than usual to read because I had to read everything more than once and swoon for a little bit before I could move on. I am thrilled to hear that there will be a sequel.If I were to write a novel, I wouldn't want to hear claims like "this is the next Hunger Games (or Twilight or Harry Potter)" but I think one of the greatest compliments must

I dont know how else to describe The Diviners except to say its pretty clear when reading this that Libba Bray set out to write a quintessentially American novel, and - good and bad - shes succeeded. She may insist no historians were harmed in the writing of her book, but I just dont see how shes mastered such command of American history, not just through the facts, but through the way she captures the American experience, that she didnt torture it out of someone. But just like America, this is

The plan wasnt to start this series anytime soon, but I was looking for an audiobook to read and this seemed like the most obvious choice. And now Im hooked!Thank you, Karima for the audiobook recommendation! 💛
