Book 2: Lair of Dreams
Book 3: Before the Devil Breaks You
In 1926, Evie O’Neill is sent to live in New York City with her bachelor, supernatural-obsessed uncle Will. Evie is excited – New York is everything that her home in Ohio is not. It’s glittering, there are speakeasies, and there’s the opportunity for Evie to make a big name for herself.
But Evie has a secret. When she picks up an object, she can read it. She can see into the history of its owner and learn that person’s secrets. But she’s been doing her best to hide this ability from people. After all, it’s what got her in trouble and sent to New York in the first place. But soon after she arrives, people start dying in mysterious ways, and Evie fears she may be one of the only ones who can help.
Throughout the series, she also makes friends with a great, diverse cast of characters. Mabel, Sam, Jericho, Memphis, Theta, Henry, and Ling. Each of these characters is important has has a purpose and will become involved in the supernatural happenings for their own reasons.
This series is full of fun 20s slang, awesome characters, exciting magic, and a historical setting. Well-written, atmospheric, and suspenseful, The Diviners will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I highly recommend listening to these books on audio! The narrator, January LaVoy, does voices for everyone, which just adds to each character’s personality. We own the first two books on audio here at the library, and all three audio books are available to check out on Libby.
