About this listen
Audie Award, Young Adult, 2016
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?

It was at multiple points I felt like hugging a character as they had a struggle, it strangling Eevee for being oh so annoying in her way.
This is an extremely enjoyable book and am excited to listen to the next.
Beautiful narration, beautiful story.

By far my favourite aspects of this series are the characters and the setting.
The 1920s New York gives such a great atmosphere to the story and the prejudices of the time are so well contrasted by the diversity of the cast of characters. In this book we focus a lot more on Henry and a new character, Ling, who are able to walk in dreams. Henry was such a sweet character in the first book that I was really excited to follow him more in this story. I also thought the introduction of Ling, as a disabled half Chinese-half Irish character who has a keen interest in science, was a welcome change from most YA protagonists I typically see.
There is still focus on Evie, Sam and Jericho in this book, specifically following Project Buffalo and Jericho's past. There is also a small love triangle going on between these three characters, and while it was slightly frustrating I didn't hate it outright. I absolutely loved every single interaction between Evie and Sam, the witty back-and-forth banter is incredible and their whole hate-to-love thing is one of my favourite tropes, as is the fake dating trope.
Now to the plot. This book focuses quite heavily on dreams and the temptations they offer. This storyline was an interesting idea and I was engaged the whole time. However, it didn't grip me in quite the same way as the plot of the first book and I didn't quite get the same creep factor. That being said, this was still a favourite of mine and I cannot recommend this series enough.
Loved it so, so much
