There were a lot of characters but no one was wasted. Their back stories were interesting, sad and dark. Evie and Sam, Jericho, Theta, Memphis, Will, they were all great characters with their own arcs of trauma, self acceptance, and skills to bring to the table. There is a lot of 1920s slang that was a little annoying, and I don’t know if it’s authentic or not. I felt the danger while they were investigating the murders and dealing with the spirit!

LaVoy is a freaking amazing narrator, she has to cover everything from flappers to demons to jazz musicians and totally nails it And unknown to all, something dark and evil has awakened…Īudiobook note: it is slightly over 18 hours of listening time, narrated by January LaVoy. As Evie jumps headlong into a dance with a murderer, other stories unfurl in the city that never sleeps.

Evie worries he’ll discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult.
It’s 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets.
Lo and behold I finally read a book this month! The Diviners by Libba Bray is a great fall or Halloween time of the year pick.
