Acerca de esta escucha
Amityville baywoman Ellie West fishes by day and bootlegs moonshine by night. It's dangerous work under Prohibition - independent operators like her are despised by federal agents and mobsters alike - but Ellie's brother was accepted to college, and Ellie's desperate to see him go. So desperate that when wealthy strangers ask her to procure libations for an extravagant party, Ellie sells them everything she has, including some booze she acquired under unusual circumstances.
What Ellie doesn't know is that this booze is special. Distilled from foul mushrooms by a cult of diabolists, those who drink it see terrible things - like the destruction of Long Island in fire and flood.
The cult is masquerading as a church promising salvation through temperance and a return to "the good old days", so it's hard for Ellie to take a stand against them, especially when her father joins. But Ellie loves Long Island, and she loves her family, and she'll do whatever it takes to ensure neither is torn apart.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 33
Victorian London is a place of fluid social roles, vibrant arts culture, fin-de-siecle wonders...and dangerous underground diabolic cults. Fencer Evadne Gray cares for none of the former and knows nothing of the latter when she's sent to London to chaperone her younger sister, aspiring art critic Dorina. Unfortunately for Evadne, she soon learns too much about all of it when Dorina meets their uncle's friend, Lady Henrietta "Henry" Wotton. A semi-respectable aristocrat in public, in private she is secretly in the thrall of a demon.

Gunslinging, chain-smoking, and Stetson-wearing Taoist psychopomp Elouise "Lou" Merriwether might not be a normal 19-year-old, but she's too busy keeping San Francisco safe from ghosts, shades, and geung si to care much about that. It's an important job, though most folks consider it downright spooky. Some have even accused Lou of being more comfortable with the dead than the living, and, well...they're not wrong.

Tory Bodeen grew up in a run-down house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt - and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away, and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn’t allowed to be at home: a child. Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart.

Eighty-nine-year-old Isabelle McAllister has a big favor to ask her hairdresser, Dorrie. She wants the black single mother to drop everything and drive her from Texas to a funeral in Ohio - tomorrow. Dorrie, fleeing problems of her own and curious about Isabelle’s past, agrees, not knowing it will be a journey that changes both their lives. Isabelle confesses that, as a teen in 1930s Kentucky, she fell in love with Robert Prewitt, a would-be doctor and the black son of her family’s housekeeper - in a town where blacks weren’t allowed after dark. The tale of their forbidden relationship and its tragic consequences just might help Dorrie find her own way.

To the uninitiated, Savannah shows only her bright face and genteel manner. Those who know her well, though, can see beyond her colonial trappings and small-city charm to a world where witchcraft is respected, Hoodoo is feared, and spirits linger. Mercy Taylor is all too familiar with the supernatural side of Savannah, being a member of the most powerful family of witches in the South. Despite being powerless herself, of course. Having grown up without magic of her own, in the shadow of her talented and charismatic twin sister, Mercy has always thought herself content.

Yeesh
I found the pacing to be too slow for how rushed the plot felt. It could be that I just spaced out without noticing, I’m not sure. The performance was good, and I did finish it, so maybe it was just not my taste. Idk, it’s free, give it a shot.

An excellent start.
Despite being the second book of the series I think this one better captures the Weird I was looking for, where the first book only hinted at it. The demons clearly have personalities but I think Tanzer struggles a little with longer stories. I'd love to see an anthology featuring the exploits of these demons through time. while the lives of the humans are interesting, they are, after all, just tools for the demons. I loved the narrator's accent. I enjoy Tanzer's imagination. looking forward to the next book.

Intriguing
As always, enjoyed this novel by Molly Tanzer. Once I begin one of her books, I can’t stop reading/listening until it’s over. Loved Ellie and Finn’s characters. High praise from this fan!
