OMINOUS: Book I

K.V. Rose

4.19 AVERAGE


Eli Addison is a flawed character of tragic proportions that we can all relate to.

We all know what it's like to do something we see as irrevocable. Whether by our own hand or having so done to us, witnessing it, we can imagine it. We can be consumed by the need to right a wrong.

Or justify one.

I know K.V. mentions not really knowing what genre to place this book under, the romance loose, I say it's there. Perhaps in the rarest form. The romance here is between multiple realms of consciousness. It's a love that festers between jagged edges of conflicting states of being. If I were to name this genre I'd call it reflective literature.

No one person just, IS. We float. We tread water. For a time. But eventually, we get tired. Do we sink on our own, content to plunge through the depths alone? Or do we sink our claws into the people around us? Serve our sentence for our sins in solace? Or corrupt those who are pure so they burn along side us? Be selfless, or selfish?

What would Eli do?

Some people don't see a difference. Some people don't see right and wrong. Some people just exist and all we can do is decide if we join and accept what that fate means...or run. The choice we make? Could lead to regret. Ruin. It could also lead to Ecstasy. I think the decision is made in the waves. Right before it's too late to decide one way or the other. It's made at the peak of chaos. It's made in the grey, between consent and concede. It's made under a cloud, accepting someone who may never be...right.

What would Eden do?

Making a choice like that, it can be nothing short...of ominous.

I struggled writing this review. I truly did. For the sheer fact that this book pries your ribcage open, crawls its ink stained fingers over your exposed tendons and squeezes the very air from your lungs in a long terrifying grip.

Have you ever stood on the edge of a cliff ready to dive off? That heady feeling of anxiety and adrenaline that keeps you teetering until the very end when you commit and jump....that's the feeling you have from cover to cover in Ominous Part 1.

KV Rose gave Eli Adonis Addison the reins to this show and he came to tell us that it's his world....he just allows us to occupy space within it.

For a deeper look into the adolescent mind of Eli from the Standalone Ecstasy, comes forth Ominous Part 1 and soon to be followed Ominous Part 2. A deep dive into the mix of mental illness, teenage angst, and unquenchable lust.

Read this book. Or Don't. But just know that by diving off that cliff and into the unknown you're getting the deepest look into the mind of KV Rose than we have ever seen before.


This book...this fucking book. If you thought Ominous I was something, buckle your seat belts and duct tape yourself down. This book hits you so fucking hard. It's raw and deep. I don't even know what to say still. I finished this book in December, and I'm still reeling. KV knows just what to say to make you want more and I am DYING for Sinister where we get a reunion with Alex, Zara, Eli, and Eden.

After reading Ecstasy (book 1 in the series) I just needed to know more about Eli and why he is the way he is. Ominous is based before Ecstasy and the title of the book describes this story so perfectly - it’s not a light romance that’s for sure, it’s as dark as the depths of the ocean. Eden and Eli… I’m obsessed 🥹 

So I’m gonna leave it at two stars…right
Anyways umm wtf wtf wtf
What
The ending??? Umm guys what
No seriously what
