Omens by Kelley Armstrong
4.0
I loved this first book in her new series! Original, full of personality, and vividly descriptive. I could picture myself walking down the streets of Cainsville alongside Olivia while reading.
I love that Olivia is as confused as us readers by what's happening to her. It’s like she’s falling down the rabbit hole when she first arrives in Cainsville. It’s feels as she is meant to be in this little town, which has a strong connection to her birth parents.
Strange things happen in the little sleepy town an hour away from her home in Chicago. There's something about the townspeople that you just can't put your finger on. A mysterious black cat that seems to adopt Olivia; ravens and crows appear out of nowhere and gargoyles appear suddenly on the houses and other buildings in the town.
Olivia suddenly begins seeing and being able to read these strange signs and omens that surround her. Confused, intrigued and a little wary, we travel with her on this exciting journey into the mysteries that surround her.
I was so lured into the story that I kept turning page after page wanting to know the answers to the questions that Olivia had. Who is Gabriel Walsh? Where does his “psychic” aunt fit into the story? What are the town elders hiding?
It's a slow building mystery that leaves you questioning everybody and everything. I couldn't put the book down and cannot wait to read the next in the series!
