Diviner

Rate this book
Clarissa Davenpo­rt has two problems. The first is that her childhood ‘talent’ of being able to see people’s true characters reflected on their faces has alarmingly returned. The second is that she is being stalked by a terrifying ethereal child – a boy – who appears unexpectedly, and always with malicious intent. And then, the horrific deaths start. Challenges of daily life become shadowed by his evil and her need to exude strengths she didn’t know she had. What is the connection between Clarissa’s ‘gift’ of being a Diviner, and the violent deaths of people she loves? What does an old mystical book written in Greek have to do with it all? Who is really hunting her and what will she learn? To find the answers, Clarissa must look to her past, and discover the secret of the ancient power which stalks her. AS FEATURED ON ITV'S 'THIS TIME NEXT YEAR'. ‘Great story, characters, suspense and dialogue. I felt like I was in the book.’ Fred C Caruso ‘The debut of a shining and unusual new writing talent.’ Graham Masterton ‘A debut novel that pushes Dawn G Harris into the pantheon of British writers of menace.’ Michael Halperin ‘A compellingly inventive read – a psychic nightmare that gives us uncanny glimpses of the truth and snares us with a web of mystery before revealing the dark side of a favourite myth.’ Ramsey Campbell

Bref, « La Divinatrice » a une très bonne idée de départ. Le concept de don qui permet de voir le vrai visage des gens était très intéressant. Puis, j’ai aimé découvrir tous les à-côtés comme le rôle des observatrices, les talismans, etc. L’histoire du garçon-esprit m’a aussi intrigué tout le long. Néanmoins, cela n’a pas réussi à compenser le manque de cohérence dans les actions et les réflexions de Clarissa. L’impression que j’ai à son propos est peut-être en partie du à l’insuffisance de marqueurs de temps dans le récit mais pas totalement. Enfin, le dénouement regorge de rebondissements qui plairont probablement à certains mais qui pour ma part, ont été de trop.

An interesting story, fast paced with many twists

This book allowed you to get to know the characters and understand the importance of their role in the story and the part they played in bringing it to its conclusion

J'ai abandonné ma lecture, chose en fait aussi rare qu'une éclipse solaire. Je n'ai rien aimé dans ce roman : problème de temporalité, trop de descriptions, un côté thriller mal exploité et lent, aucun réel suspens, des personnages peu intéressants bref le récit traine en longueur. J'ai tenu jusqu'à la moitié mais j'ai décidé de dire stop, deux semaines que je suis dessus sans arriver à avancer tant je n'adhère pas à l'écriture ni à l'histoire...
