Omen Bites picks up where Spells Trouble left off.Marcy and Hunter are still struggling with the death of their mother but the town is in danger and the ancient trees are still damaged. But with everything that is going on and has happened the girls' relationship is strained. I really enjoyed the first but I was really excited to get the chance to read this book! I liked that I was able to get to know the characters more in this book! With the dual point of views and more character building I really felt like I could relate to the characters this time around! The world building is just as beautiful as the first time around! I am really looking forward to see what the next book brings us!

I want to like this series so much but it’s getting harder and harder to. The witchcraft is the only thing that keeps me coming back and Xena. That’s it. I want so much for Hunter and Mercy to reunite but both are too stubborn to listen to the other and they keep slinging around the word selfish. They’re both being assholes to each other when they need to work together to deal with Amphitrite.

I'm honestly only continuing to find out how it ends. Though this one was better than the first.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I couldn't even finish the first book in the series! I won this on during goodreads giveaway thinking it was the first one. I apologize for the mistake.

Thank you to Wednesday Books and Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
3 Stars!
I want to start by saying I loved these authors and their House of Night Series! Like absolutely adored it. I liked Spells Trouble alright. But one thing I have realized is these books aren’t for me. At times it was challenging to push through certain parts. Omens Bite picks up immediately after Spells Trouble. I was thrilled to receive this ARC and I’m still excited because these are some of my favorite authors!! However, I did struggle to finish this book. I felt like the characters and the story was going 100 different directions. I felt we seen very little character growth and more of a backslide. To be brutally honest, I do not see myself reading these ever again. These books are not for me. The authors are some of my favorites, I do feel however that these books were not up to par with House of Night and the Otherworld Series.

First off- thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced readers copy! All thoughts and opinions are my own unpaid review.
So in the beginning I honestly didn’t notice this was a second book in a series- so once I read the first one, I was able to catch on to the second. Omens Bite leaves off from the first, and while it’s a fast book, the character development is leaving … little to be desired. The conversations between most of the characters seem to be cringey- but the epilogue makes me want to read the next, so I will. Overall thankful for a chance to read this- I haven’t read much from PC cast and the last time I did was maybe 10 years ago- their writing style is only going up! Thanks NetGalley!

Mercy and Hunter are adrift. Their mother is dead, they’re fighting, and the whole town of Goodeville seems to have turned against them. Hunter isn’t too sure about her new Goddess, Amphitrite, either. Both witches are scrambling against time, trying to figure out how to heal the tree guardians that protect the gates to other realms.
This was…a decent sequel to Spells Trouble. Mercy and Hunter still have a lot of growing up to do, which is odd considering they’re 17 year old witches. I guess witches aren’t good with talking about their feelings, either. They just felt a lot younger in this book, but that could be because of their childish jealousy and fights.
If you have enjoyed other PC and Kristen Cast you will recognize their distinctive cadence and writing styles, carrying the storyline along at frantic pacing at times. A solid addition to their library, and finishing this book you’ll be howling for book 3!
