SOMETHING DARK AND EVIL HAS AWAKENED. . . .
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 her uncle will 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 is hiding a shocking secret. And unknown to all, something dark and evil has awakened. . . .

Includes an Introduction Read by Libba Bray Fantasy Mysteries & Detectives Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Paranormal Romance Science Fiction & Fantasy

It took some time for me to finish this book, but that wasn't a problem. I enjoyed getting sucked back in everytime. I liked a lot that it was not too addictive.
January's voice is nice, it goes well with the time period.
I'm going to buy the next one right away !

This is so tough to rate but I feel like I loved it at times and didn't care much for the plot other times. Many things to enjoy: flappers, New York, supernatural fun and a plethora of interesting characters. Things I enjoyed less: probably the last chunk of the book because it just felt like giving a lot of information quickly to set the stakes for the next installment. And the ending was a tiny bit rushed and anticlimactic in my opinion, whereas many parts of the novel felt thrilling and exciting! If you're planning to give this a go, I can't recommend the audiobook version enough because it is the best treat and January LaVoy made me want to rate this one a solid 5 stars for her voice work alone. She has just become my favourite narrator and turned "The Diviners" into a great reading/listening experience.

This has been a real treat

J'ai plutôt aimé ce titre. Je pense que la narratrice, vraiment excellente, y est pour beaucoup.

L'histoire est plutôt sympathique, positionnée dans les années trente aux usa. Le personnage principal est une ado un peu délurée qui possède le pouvoir de lire les objets et en a un peu abusé pour faire la maline. Elle se retrouve chez son oncle qui tient un musée d'objets extraordinaires. À partir de là il va y avoir des meurtres en série.

C'est un roman YA avec les tropes de ce genre de roman mais l'écriture reste assez enlevée et plaisante. Je ne lirai pas la suite pour autant. Parce que bien entendu l'auteur en garde pour les romans suivants.

Bref, assez prenant, marrant, pas extraordinaire

Très bien lu, un roman YA assez prenant
