The Diviners by Libba Bray
Pub. Date: September 18, 2012
Goodreads says, "Evie 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-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies." When a rash of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and her uncle are right in the thick of the investigation. And through it all, Evie has a secret: a mysterious power that could help catch the killer--if he doesn't catch her first."

This sounds fantastic! I like that there is a mystery to solve as well.
ReplyDeleteI've already been hearing some great things about this book so I can't wait to read it. Plus I've never read a Libba Bray novel and I think it's high time I fixed that.
