About this listen

The Diviners are back in this thrilling and eerie third installment by number one New York Times best-selling author Libba Bray.

After battling a sleeping sickness, The Diviners are up against a group of new and malevolent foes - ghosts! Out in Ward's Island sits a mental hospital full of lost souls from people long forgotten. Ghosts who have unusual and dangerous ties to the Man in the Stovepipe Hat, also known as the King of Crows.

With terrible accounts of murder and possession flooding in from all over New York City, the Diviners must band together and brave the ghosts haunting the asylum to bring down the King of Crows.

Heart-pounding action and terrifying moments will leave you breathless in the third book of the four-book Diviners series by number one New York Times best-selling author Libba Bray.

Critic reviews

"This story broke my heart and made me laugh and gave me hope - and really, what more can you ask of a book than that? I loved it, and I have a feeling you will too." (Jennifer E. Smith, author of Windfall and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight)

"Narrator January LaVoy shines in the third installment of The Diviners series.... Despite the considerable number of characters and their intersecting storylines, LaVoy never misses a beat, demonstrating a wide range of vocal dexterity and skill that creates the impression of an ensemble. Listeners are encouraged to begin at the beginning of this planned four-audiobook series and enjoy LaVoy's mastery." (AudioFile)

I love this rag tag group of misfits

I enjoyed this book very much. January LaVoy's array of voices makes the audiobook that much better. Sam and Evie Forever. How cute is Isaiah. I would recommend this book to YA lovers.

Better than the previous book in the series

At some points the anti-racism themes were a bit heavy-handed and preachy. This is a shame because the story was actually quite enjoyable.

The narator makes this book even better!

I'm in love with the story and with the characters! But oh my God, January LaVoy! How is she doing that? I always know who is talking before it's specified! And yes, there are many characters but still they each has their own distinct anf really well fitted voice, and only one person does all that!
It's mind-blowing!
I'm definitely going to search for more book read by LaVoy!

Best reader ever!

The skill of the reader is off the charts, listen to this book on that premise alone. Fun book series that is both light yet deep. Yes I know, a bit of a paradox. But true nevertheless. Highly recommend.

January LeVoy kills it again!

Another amazing book.
I laughed and I cried.
There were parts where I was literally terrified and I am so happy as I didnt think Libba could continue her streak to thrill after the amazing last book.

best book in the series

this was a really good one. You could see it as a filler for the story but I thought it was more building up to the last book. It took up many important subjects like how mentally ill people were treated back in the day. Also I've waited for Libba Bray to do something BIG, cause I thought she was playing a bit safe (to the point where it was unrealistic) but damn did she deliver this time. I was that "F*CK GO BACK" button meme lol
