exorcismemily's review against another edition

I really enjoyed this book! It definitely could have been shorter, because parts of it dragged. I wasn't expecting to actually be creeped out by it, so that was a plus. I'm excited to read the next one!

Creepy in the best way
This was far more spooky than I was expecting. I've had a hard time getting into YA fantasy lately but this was so good I can tell why it's so beloved. The 1920's New York was the perfect setting for this story and felt like I was there. The characters each had distinct voices and they fit so well to the story. The murder mystery plot had me on the edge of my seat. The occult vibes gave me chills. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did an amazing job. I look forward to continuing the series.

Big and bold and ambitious. Just when you think you know where Bray's taking you, her sleight of hand has you guessing all over again. Looking forward to the sequel.

Evie has been up to her antics again, but her parents just can't take it anymore. She gets carted off to live in New York with her Uncle. And she is oh so upset about it. Not. She couldn't be more excited to make her way to New York and live an exciting life in the big city!
Evie has a special gift. By touching a personal object of someone she is able to see things about them. She can tell you things about yourself that you never told anyone before. No one can figure out how she does it and she claims its just trick.
This is the first book of Bray's that I have read and I was not dissapointed!!
