Haven't read any of them....
I was going to say I hadn't heard of a one of them, but that's not true.
The Diviners by Libba Bray was also one of my favorite books last year. It's fun, breezy, mysterious YA historical fiction and the first in a series taking place in the 1920s in New York City. It's got whoo whoo elements, but it rises above a lot of its paranormal sisterhood. It's smart.
And I've heard that Girl Walks Into a Bar by Rachel Dratch is good.

I haven't read any of them. I have heard of The Diviners but I'm not usually a big fan of YA novels.
