Esta autora se adentra en las rarezas humanas y los detalles únicos de la vida, evitando los datos biográficos secos en favor de los aspectos más ricos y extraños de la existencia. Su escritura está impregnada de un humor irónico y un agudo estilo de observación, lo que permite a los lectores vislumbrar el mundo a través de su perspectiva distintiva. Utiliza anécdotas inesperadas y experiencias personales para crear un retrato vívido y cautivador de su vida interior y sus procesos de pensamiento. Su enfoque revela una fascinación por palabras como 'redención' y una aversión a 'tal vez', insinuando temas más profundos de esperanza y certeza en su obra.
Impulsada por los acontecimientos que no dejan de sacudir su existencia, el destino al que Gemma se enfrenta amenaza con hundirse en el caos, no sólo en los reinos, sino también en la rígida sociedad victoriana cuyas reglas la joven ha desafiado. A caballo entre dos mundo, Gemma intentará restablecer el equilibrio y devolver a la magia el lugar que ésta reclama.
Se acerca la Navidad y las chicas del internado Spence esperan las vacaciones. Gemma está deseando volver a Londres, asistir a bailes con preciosos vestidos, alternar con el guapo Simon Middleton ... Pero sus visiones no dejan de perturbarla: tres chicas vestidas de blanco a las que les ha sucedido algo horrible. Pronto averigua que los secretos que desenterró con sus amigas no desaparecerán tan fácilmente
La primera impresión que Gemma tuvo de la Academia Spence no podía ser peor. Quizá la joven estuviera afectada por la tristeza y su característico mal humor, pero había algo especialmente siniestro en aquel enorme edificio que lo asemejaba más a una mansión de fantasmas que a la selecta institución británica para señoritas que debía representar. Una curiosa percepción que no tardaría en revelarse como el primer paso hacia un extraño mundo sobrenatural.
The Diviners are back in this thrilling and eerie third installment by number one New York Times bestselling author Libba Bray.
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's 1920s New York City. It's flappers and Follies, jazz and gin. It's after the war but before the depression. And for certain group of bright young things it's the opportunity to party like never before. For Evie O'Neill, it's escape. She's never fit in in small town Ohio and when she causes yet another scandal, she's shipped off to stay with an uncle in the big city. But far from being exile, this is exactly what she's always wanted: the chance to show how thoroughly modern and incredibly daring she can be. But New York City isn't about just jazz babies and follies girls. It has a darker side. Young women are being murdered across the city. And these aren't crimes of passion. They're gruesome. They're planned. They bear a strange resemblance to an obscure group of tarot cards. And the New York City police can't solve them alone. Evie wasn't just escaping the stifling life of Ohio, she was running from the knowledge of what she could do. She has a secret. A mysterious power that could help catch the killer - if he doesn't catch her first.
After the horrifying explosion that claimed one of their own, the Diviners find themselves wanted by the US government, and on the brink of war with the King of Crows
