Omens

I don't normally read msytery crime fiction etc... but decided to try this one out. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it as much as I did, and it seems it is part larger oveall series.

This is at its heart a crime/murder mystery but we know from the start at leats who the accussed are. As the story gets established we soon come to realize the accussed may not be guilty of the crime they are accussed of but for them it is too late and its now up to their long lost daugther, Olivia to solve this decades old crime

Olivia is thrown into a world of papparazzi and mystery after learning who she is and that her parents are accused serial killers.

This story takes us through a unusal world of occult signs and superstition with characters of mysterious past in small town usa but a town that on the surface seems peaceful but underneath is filled with people with mysterious and in some cases dark pasts.

This book is not takes you down a path of intrigue and mystery that for me was really quite enjoyable, and pleasant surprise from my normal genre of reading.

However I would have liked to see more mystery in the investigation of the crimes, and more in depth occult connections within the overall plot. It would have been nice to explore the people of the town of cainsville more. overall 4/5 stars.

3.5 rounded up

A bit long winded and there's POVs and soo many clues scattered about its kinda hard to keep track but I'm really enjoying it. I love a good mystery with supernatural elements mixed in!

Wow this is such a great book.

full review to come later – I need to jump onto the next book.

Okay, so it's been almost a month since I read this series and the books have kind have merged in my mind. I'll do a series review on book 5. For this one, let's say I loved it enough that I threw my TBR list out the window and HAD to read the next book. I immediately fell into the world and the characters and needed to know answers.

Omens is one of those books that you don't want to end. I loved every minute of it and found it extremely hard to put down.

This is also the first novel I've read of Kelley Armstrong and I'm very pleased to say I'm a new fan and will look out for more of her novels.

I just loved the story of Omens, the characters. It was amazing. I'm so glad I saw it and randomly picked it up. I can't wait for the second book in the Cainsville series and I can't believe I have to wait so long for it.

So excited that Kelley Armstrong has started a new series! And the book definitely lived up to my expectations.
