The Diviners by Libba Bray
4.0
Well that was definitely terrifying! All that supernatural jazz was utterly freaky and this would most certainly make a great, atmospheric halloween read!
That said, I wasn’t entirely amazed with the entirety of this novel. The main issues I had were the characters and the romances: frankly, I wasn’t a fan of any of them. There was a scene towards the end that I found particularly frustrating on the romance field, and I just reaaallly didn’t like the main romance at the end.
I think my favourite parts were nearer the beginning, where the 1920s New York setting peaked, I loved when the mc first arrived at NY! But oh my this book got so creepy towards the end, it all gave me the heebie-jeebies (also I understood nothing of the penultimate chapter???) I think I’ll probably continue on with this series, hopefully I’ll connect more with the characters in the sequels, but, sadly, my expectations aren’t too high, given how this one finished (in the romance department, that is).
