Publisher Description

Something dark and evil has awakened.

Evie O’Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City—and she is pos-i-tute-ly ecstatic. It’s 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult.

Evie worries her uncle will discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far. But when the police find a murdered girl branded with a cryptic symbol and Will is called to the scene, Evie realizes her gift could help catch a serial killer.

As Evie jumps headlong into a dance with a murderer, other stories unfold in the city that never sleeps. A young man named Memphis is caught between two worlds. A chorus girl named Theta is running from her past. A student named Jericho is hiding a shocking secret. And unknown to all, something dark and evil has awakened.

"I loved this audiobook. I heard that the audio version totally made this book so maybe just reading it would have left me with a 4 star review. So I’ll give credit to January LaVoy who not only did an excellent job narrating but has a pretty nice singing voice too. I can’t get that damn Naughty John ditty out of my head!! The setting in 1920’s New York with the flappers and the vernacular was just fun. And the creep factor was wonderful. It was long but never ever felt like it was dragging. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a little creepy, a little magic, and a little supernatural with a side of positutely fun flapper dialogue."
— Jennifer Morin (5 out of 5 stars)

" this book starts out slow. It's setting up this strange world that Evie O'Neill inhabits. This book is an ensemble piece that includes POC characters. Bray is conscious about the social themes in this book. She does a good job of building the tension. It's a longer listening time, but it pays off in the end! "
