17-year old Evie O’Niell is in trouble. After a supernatural party incident, she is exiled from her boring Ohio hometown and sent to live with her uncle in the wonderful, glimmering city of 1920s New York. However, things begin to take a sinister turn after a series of disturbing murders crop up. It’s the golden age of America, and things are changing much, much faster than expected. A strange group of teens have begun to develop mysterious powers. A Harlem numbers runner is beginning to receive visions of a man in a stovepipe hat. A Ziegfeld girl named Theta is running from her past. A teenage pickpocket is on the search for his family. And above all of them, a dark and vicious evil has returned. Set at the height of America’s jazz age, The Diviners is an extraordinary book. Through gorgeous prose, Bray illustrates the authentic historical American experience, populated with dynamic characters and set against the glamorous backdrop of the Roaring Twenties. The Diviners is historical fiction, mystery, suspense, horror and romance all blended up to make one big, beautiful book. It’s hilarious, terrifying and addictive all at once, and it is not something you want to miss. - @Apis of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
