The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult.Įvie worries he’ll discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far. It’s 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. Genre:Įvie 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. All I remembered is that the story should be a good read. I guess I was aware of this before, back when I learned of the book through Becky’s blog, but some details had faded from memory since then. I was surprised not to find that and was even more surprised at how spooky it was at times. I thought it would make a great seasonal read for some reason, I thought the story was set in winter and was probably atmospheric with lots of snow and cold. We decided to call our buddy-read “Diviners in December” because we scheduled to read it in December. If not for a buddy-read with Rachel from Life of a Female Bibliophile, it probably would still be sitting there unread. This book has been sitting on my shelves for the past four years.
