REVIEW: The Diviners

The Diviners
Author: Libba Bray

New York City. 1926. Ziegield Girls. Speakeasies. Jazz. And.....supernatural evil.

I am officially a huge Libba Bray fan. After thoroughly loving Beauty Queens, I decided to try her Diviners series. Oh. My. God. I loved this first book! The setting is awesome! The plot is dark and disturbing. And the characters are fun and quirky, with plenty of hidden secrets to go with the plot. And the villain.....a total scary creep!

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.

Yikes! :)

I listened to the audio book version of this story. January LaVoy narrates. She does a superb job of acting. This was one of the best audio books I have ever listened to. She does great voices for all the characters and even sings. Great performance! I have the second audio book in the series, Lair of Dreams, checked out from the library and ready to go!

There are 3 books in this series so far, with the final book tentatively scheduled to release in spring 2020.

I read online that the story has been optioned for a movie, but I haven't seen anything about it actually being in production. I hope they make a film! I would definitely watch a movie version!

And yes, I used many exclamation points in this review. I really liked the book :)   !!!  There's a couple extra ones just for S&G. :)
