It’s 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets.

Naughty John, Naughty John, does his work with his apron on. Cuts your throat and takes your bones, sells em off for a coupla stones. boy this shit was so good !! i die !!. Everyone kept telling me this series was the cats meow and I JUST DIDN'T LISTEN. And I should have, it's positutely swell !!(okay enough lingo references) but the first thing I LOVED about this book was the setting. It's set in 1920s America and boy that is just such a fun setting to play around in. And Libba BrayThe time is now. They are coming, Isaiah said, drifting back into dreams, his last word barely a whisper: Diviners.This was exactly my kind of book - with talk about the occult, magical-realism, and even a little horror (that I could handle for once) - I couldnt help but fall for The Diviners. To quote Maggie Stiefvater, good magic is a little horrific, and good horror is always a little magical. And Libba Bray brought just that to the table with this chilling and wondrous book.This follows the
9/25/15:Finished re-reading this and it was even better the second time! Now I am finally reading the sequel and I'm very excited. :D----------Original Review (10/10/12):OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN.So yeah, basically this book left me like this:I've been a die-hard Libba Bray fan ever since the fabulous Gemma Doyle books. I also loved the insane, bizarre adventure of Going Bovine. And Beauty Queens was hilariousalthough I thought it was a bit lacking in the usual strong storytelling element that
The Diviners must stand, or all shall fall. The Diviners is a historical, paranormal fantasy set in 1920s New York City! And in this alternative history, there are people called Diviners who have magical abilities that are hidden from the world. And these powers will come in handy as a demon like being who was summoned from a Ouija board starts ritualistically killing people, while also bringing upon the apocalypse.➽ Evie ONeill - Sent to NY to stay with her uncle after causing too much of a
This book makes me feel so nostalgic for life in 1920s New York which is weird because I wasnt even alive for that decade, so why do I miss it? Seriously. Is it just me or do other people get homesick from books? You miss the comforting feeling of the characters and the world created by the author and wish to stay long after you turn the last page?The impossible wonder of an era I was never a part of still snags at me and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. So, what's this book? Its
Eff this book. Im tired of books killing dogs, cats etc. How would you like your animal being gutted alive!? Like I said, eff this book and books like it because Im tired of it all. AND DONT MAKE NO SMART ASS COMMENTS ON MY REVIEW!! Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
We are the Diviners. We have been and we will be. It is a power that comes from the great energy of the land and its people, a realm shared for a spell, for as long as is needed. We see the dead. We speak to restless spirits. We walk in dreams. We read meaning from every held thing. The future unfolds for us like the navigators map, showing seas we have yet to travel. Story ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Buddy read with the wonderful Eli :*I guess Im a little bit disappointed. I had way too high expectations for this.
