After a supernatural showdown with a serial killer, Evie O'Neill has outed herself as a Diviner. Now that the world knows of her ability to "read" objects, and therefore, read the past, she has become a media darling, earning the title, "America's Sweetheart Seer." But not everyone is so accepting of the Diviners' abilities...
Meanwhile, mysterious deaths have been turning up in the city, victims of an unknown sleeping sickness. Can the Diviners descend into the dreamworld and catch a killer?

      In this long-awaited sequel to THE DIVINERS (2012), Diviners and Dreamwalkers abound in 1920s New York City, and narrator January LaVoy's performance is simply amazing. Now that she's "outed" herself as a Diviner, Evie O'Neill is the Sweetheart Seer, a radio star. But all is not "jake." Evie is at odds with Uncle Will, the occult museum is in the red, and she's forced into a "faux" relationship with smart-alecky Sam Lloyd. Meanwhile, a sleeping sickness is plaguing the city and Dreamwalkers Henry and Ling Chan try to find the cause. In a plot crowded with so many characters, LaVoy doesn't utter a false note. Her vocal range is awe-inspiring, her characters are fully developed, and her voice is lovely. The divine duo of Libba Bray and January LaVoy does not disappoint. S.J.H.

      Starred review from August 17, 2015
      Bray illuminates the dark side of the American Dream in her long-awaited sequel to The Diviners (2012), weaving xenophobia, industrial progress, Jazz Age debauchery, government secrets, religious fervor, and supernatural horror into a sprawling and always entertaining narrative. Romances among the major players get significant time in the spotlight: Evie O'Neill, now "America's Sweetheart Seer" of radio fame, finds herself pushed into a publicity-driven relationship with fellow Diviner Sam Lloyd; their combative (and often alcohol-fueled) exchanges are among the funniest in the novel. Follies girl Theta struggles to maintain her interracial romance with Harlem healer Memphis while keeping her own abilities secret from him. And musician Henry DuBois's efforts to locate the boy he left behind in New Orleans lead him into friendship with fellow "dreamwalker" Ling Chan, whose Chinese-American community is being vilified as a deadly sleeping sickness sweeps across New York City. Bray is equally at home constructing gruesome deaths at the hands of bloodthirsty ghosts and deploying incisive commentary on the march of progress, both of which inflict their share of damage. Ages 15âup. Agent: Barry Goldblatt, Barry Goldblatt Literary.
