Waiting on Wednesday (19): The Diviners by Libba Bray



From Goodreads:
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.

I'm moving to Long Island for college in a few weeks, and I'll  be right outside New York City. I know that there are a ton of YA books out there set in the Big Apple, but so many of them are realistic fiction. That's all fine and dandy, but you can give me paranormal fiction any day!  This book sounds like the perfect way to start a new chapter in my life!

    I can't wait for this one either! Such a stunning cover. Good luck with the move! How cool will it be to read The Diviners in New York City itself?! I'm jealous! Great pick. :)

    The Diviners was a popular choice last week and I added it to my to-read list then. I find the summary very interesting and I just hope the book is as good as it sounds. Great pick.

    Come check out my WOW.

    I've been debating whether to read this one or not, but it does sound really good so I'll probably give it a go. It's a shame I didn't like the first book by Libba that I read.

    Nice pick! I'm honestly kind of like.. unsure what to make of it though. The blurb isn't totally grabbing me but everyone seems to be loving it so I want to love it!
