Didn't like this one as much as the first in the series. The pacing seemed odd, like I was waiting for the book to start until the last 100 pages or so. Once it got going the final battle picked up the nice feel from the first book.
I think my biggest problem however, is that there is a lot of time spent talking about the adversity that different characters face. But for the most part they interact within their own little groups so you don't see much of it, your just told about it.
I think my favorite part of the series remains Spire having to put up with everything. Hope to see more of him in the next book.

As always, I have nothing but praise for Hieber's work. The heroes we met and admired in book one on either side of the pond unite, first on American soil, but with the bulk of the action in Britain. This series continues to set itself apart from Leanna's other works in that while there is a hint of romance, the main focus is on the action (I would have actually preferred more focus on the relationship between Clara & Bishop and Rose & Spire, but it's also nice to see them moving slow). Fans of Hieber's other works will appreciate cameos of some characters from Darker Still and Strangely Beautiful. If you havent read the latter, you may find a certain scene to be a strange digression. The ending sets up nicely for a Book 3 in the Eterna Files series, which I eagerly await.

Eterna and Omega picks up right where The Eterna Files left off, finally giving some closure to that cliffhanger. After Clara Templeton rouses from her seizure in the graveyard, she must learn how to carry on Louis's work and use the discoveries of the Eterna team to fight against unimaginable evil. While the Americans are developing a magical means of protection, the Omega team over in Great Britain begins to realize that the recent string of grisly murders is part of something much bigger than they initially thought. The two teams commissioned to find immortality must come together to meet a more imminent threat. Rose Everhart, Lord Black, and their band of paranormal circus performers ship off to America to investigate. Initially suspicious of each other, the British and American teams must learn to trust and work together, combining their strengths, if they want to have any hope of defeating the evil descending on both continents. The action travels back and forth across the Atlantic as our heroes battle evil on two fronts.
