Description
The Witch Haven meets Divine Rivals in this magical tale of a young clairvoyant who gets dragged into a dangerous game of revenge alongside a mysterious thief in early 1900s New York City. Stella Bohdan is never alone--never--and yet she is the loneliest person she knows, dead or alive. A gifted psychic who can hear the voices of spirits, all Stella wants is to con enough people to survive on the brutal New York City streets and find a way to deal with the tragic death of her sister. Performing seances in parlor rooms and tarot readings by candlelight, Stella is barely holding on. Until she meets Pax, a mysterious young man who offers Stella an invitation and a promise: Join a secret group of talented mystics who explore the darker realms of spiritualism, and together they will get revenge on her sister's killer. But how can Stella admit she is the reason her sister is dead? In the hope of righting past wrongs, Stella joins Pax and his team of mystics. It's soon clear there is more behind their partnership than just vengeance. They must tread carefully though, because in the world of spiritualism, not everything is what it seems--especially when communing with the unknown.

Critical Reviews
"Drawing on the fascinating history of the spiritualist movement, Kristin Tubb crafts a haunting, atmospheric story where grief, belief, and deception intertwine. Rich with historical texture, The Spiritualists reminds us that the voices of the past are never truly silent."--Ruta Sepetys, New York Times bestselling author of Fountains of Silence and The Bletchley Riddle
"Morally gray misfits with hearts as gold as the secrets they keep join forces to run a heist? Yes please. Plus a found family tangled in the paranormal? Say less."--USA Today Bestseller Alisha Klapheke, author of the Bound by Dragons series
"Kristin O'Donnell Tubb's YA debut is a bold and beautiful glimpse into the world of New York City in 1912. Seances, cons, and budding romance make this a page-turning read. Do not miss this heart-felt heist built on found family and gilded with ghostly magic."--Erica Ivy Rodgers, author of the Waking Hearts Duology
"Rooted in true history and drenched in atmosphere, The Spiritualists delivers a cleverly constructed heist, morally messy characters, and an ending that lingers long after the final page.
