Ooooo man. I really got hooked into this series! I've been told that it read more like companion novels but I would have to disagree. Yes the two books are from different characters perspectives but the story flows over really well and continues from the first book so... Anyway! I loved it.

Noah is now my favourite character. he has such amazing character development in this book. The new world where the majority of this book takes place has such a cool new twist that I hadn't been expecting.

Overall, I need the next one like yesterday... XD can't wait!

Just when you thought everything would work out, Infinity ends. Omega is an even bigger problem. Weird worlds, New problems, usual suspects. Well, and a new twist. I absolutely love the randomness of the new worlds but the absolute 180 degree changes are jaw dropping. I am still processing. It's crazy and twisted and all sorts of interesting.

I'm so at a loss for words.

Finding something and someone is never easy. Their futures are linked by a disturbing past. The only way to help is to end it. If only it were that easy...

Omega is a new kind of evil. Dylan may be the boogie man but your nightmares are just beginning. I can't wait for Alpha!!!!

I almost didn’t even pick up Omega because I was underwhelmed by Infinity, but I’m so glad I did!

Omega is action-packed and full of adventure, and the romance between Noah and Ash feels more natural and exciting than the romance in Infinity. I really loved the upgrades to the tech and some of the new versions of our favorite characters (looking at you Phil)

I really liked how this book was told in duel point of views by Noah and Ashlyn. I always think you get so much more out of a story that way. I probably enjoyed this one a bit more than the last one too because it was Noah's story. I really like that guy; he always makes me laugh and I just love his personality. It's even more fun because him and Kori are so alike.

Like I said, I love Noah. Getting to know how he thinks and why he acts the way he does was great. I was also a little surprised at the extra grief he has been carrying around about his sister's death and his part in it. He feels he has good reason to blame himself for what happened to her, and who can really blame him? He certainly has a lot of anger issues to work thru, but beneath it all he's just a good guy.

Ashlyn was a pretty good match for Noah. She has had a very hard life but has always tried to make the best of things. In a world of undisguised hatred toward her, her world's Noah had become her best friend and the only positive thing. All her smarts and spunk matter little though when he dies and she's the one being blamed.

So Noah, Cade and Kori have been chasing after Dylan for a while now each time he jumps. When they come to this Earth, though, their cuffs stop working. And there's only one person who can help. This world's Rabbit is not a lot like their Rabbit, but he can fix their problem and get them gone. The only issue? He needs the main cuff for it. By this point, Ashlyn has already gotten herself in the middle of things when Dylan kills that world's Kori right in front of her...and she gets blamed for that too. So she stays with them in order to help. But she also wants be able to prove her Noah was murdered and that it was because of what he found while digging into what his parents were doing. It all comes down to this Omega project and what it is. Which, when we find out, isn't actually all that big of a stretch. Yes, it's very bad. But I can see how people would think of this as the next step and want it.

They were so close ending it all all, but nothing ever seems to go right for them at all in this book. Noah and Kori's parents in this world are truly terrible people and it always seems like they manage to come out ahead. Even right until the end. Dylan has found another Ava and he's determined to keep this one and make her love him. But he's not the only Dylan that wants her which could be interesting. Some good did come out of this jump, but they're no closer to catching Dylan than they were before.

Much like I said with the first book, Dylan really does seem to like this Kori. It really seems as if he wouldn't mind this one to stay alive too which I'm really liking. It makes it that much more fun.

I'm definitely curious enough to check out the next book.

Such an awesome sequel.
Much like in Infinity, the characters shine in Omega, but this time they’re dealing with a slightly more complex situation.
I liked the shift in focus, it’s always interesting to experience a story from a different character’s POV. In this case there were two new POVs, and at moments it could get repetitive, but it was still fast pace and intriguing throughout, especially to me as a huge romance fan. Accardo’s style is consistent, pleasant to read, and I can’t wait to see what she’ll bring plot-wise in the next one.

4/5 stars

Having read (and loved) Infinity last year, I was so hyped for Omega. All of the things I loved then - the characters, their chemistry, inter-dimensional travel, edge of your seat action - return in full force in Omega.

All the versions of us have this crazy connection. He wasn’t in love with me—I was never in love with him—but it’s like we couldn’t help ourselves. That’s why he was so vehemently against anything ever happening between us. We were drawn to each other—like we are. But you didn’t have an Ashlyn where you come from, and I had a Noah. He might not have been my perfect Noah, but he was all I got and for as long as I live, I will be thankful for him. Your perfect Ash might be out there somewhere. If you don’t let me help you get your friends back, you’ll never have the chance to find her.

Told in multiple points of view, Omega tells the story of Ashlyn and Noah while keeping Kori and Cade as secondary characters to the next phase in the Infinity series. Jus pulls back the layers on the onion as the story unveils itself, going deeper and deeper into how truly evil the creator of the Infinity project is.

If I said good point, then I was a heartless bastard willing to sacrifice an innocent girl to save his friends—and a liar. If I spoke the truth, that I would rather hack each of my toes off with a machete then tap dance through a vat of salt before letting her hand herself over to those bastards, then I was insane. One of those freaks who believed in love at first sight. Which I wasn’t. I was…what the hell was I?

I have to admit, the whole time I was reading, I felt a massive case of whiplash. There was so much going on all the time and I was constantly shocked by how deep some of the history of the project goes. The sci-fi elements work in tandem with the slow burn romance. Jus is a master at the zingers - sentences or short passages that leave you breathless. Again, if you love sci-fi books with character chemistry, I highly recommend this series!

Dive back into the world of Jus Accardo’s The Infinity Division series with Omega, the second book in the trilogy that follows fated characters as they chase a killer through the unpredictable multiverse!

Infinity followed Kori Anderson, a teen who discovered that her army general father heads up a top secret government organization that travels between parallel universes and the two bodyguards recently assigned to her, Noah and Cade, are from a completely different universe. Even stranger, there are patterns in every universe and typically, Noah is her older brother and Cade is the love of her life– except neither were actually born in her universe. Noah and Cade came to Kori’s universe when a deranged killer seeking his revenge marked her (and every other Kori Anderson in the multiverse) as prey. But this version of Kori is no damsel in distress. Forming a strange, tentative relationship with Noah and a slow-burning attraction to Cade, she helps them work to track down Dylan, the serial killer with a grudge.

Omega finds Kori, Noah, and Cade “skipping” through the multiverses after Dylan. Noah leads off the narration, giving us some new insight into his character. He’s especially tested when all four cuffs used to travel between universes malfunction, leaving them stranded in a universe where mafioso rule is the lay of the land. It’s there that we meet Ash Calvert, our second narrator and a girl that Noah is hopelessly destined to connect with in every universe. Ash is a Bottom Tier citizen, destined for poverty and servitude from birth, but she’s in deep thanks to the recent death of her world’s Noah Anderson– a death that the twisted, corrupt Anderson family of her world is trying to pin on her.

After the initial shock of meeting and narrowly escaping death together, Noah and Ash have an immediate connection as they navigate Ash’s world, which is super dark but also the most fully realized world Accardo has crafted yet. Here lies a sinister enemy in a more advanced universe who has advantages over the good guys. While Dylan’s murderous streak is troubling, the danger feels far more palpable as this world’s version of Cora Anderson is a more calculated evil with careful plans to destroy lives and the ability to do so on a grand scale without the fear of consequences. And she’s starting with Ash Calvert.

Noah and Ash are thrown into a whirlwind as they try to capture Dylan, fix their cuffs, and avoid Cora’s extensive grasp, which means things move quickly, but there wasn’t necessarily a lot of time for romance. The characters have some chemistry, talk about feelings for each other, and even share a couple of steamy kisses, but Noah and Ash felt a little like beautiful broken people tropes and I didn’t feel the same romantic tension that I did with Cade and Kori. Both characters seemed to have similar thoughts on their various situations, which made dual narration fairly repetitive in the scenes in which they were together. We don’t see either Noah and Ash’s nor Kori and Cade’s relationship progress too much in this round, which is a bit of a let down, but hopefully something that can be made up for in Book 3.

The new worldbuilding and characters offered itself up to a really great twist and new takes on travel through the multiverse that were pleasantly shocking. We also get more details on Kori, Noah, and Cade’s antics in different worlds, many of which are zany and amusing (even if they got arrested or almost got killed while there.)

Other than the main four, the character to watch out for is the villain, the Cora Anderson of Ash’s world. You’ll love to hate her. We’re also see iterations of other characters we met in Kori’s world, including one in particular that goes from rigid to super amusing as the story progresses. Other new characters seem like they’ll play an important role in the next book in the series, but we’re left with a bit of cliffhanger this time, so it’s hard to tell. We’re definitely curious for the third book and want to see the roles those characters will play!

While the first book is still our preference, Omega does a great job expanding the world and upping the stakes going into the next chapter.
