➼ 3 stars
Omens Bite is the second book in the “Sisters Of Salem” series and it follows Mercy and Hunter, two twin sisters and witches who guard the five gates to mythological underworlds. This book picks up where book one ended and the relationship between the sisters is more strained than it ever was. They are being separated for the first time in their life and it creates many conflicts that they will have to fix and get through.
First of all, this book had a very interesting plot and every single witchy book has a plus point from me because it’s something I love to read about. I also thought that the magical aspect was well thought out and presented nicely to us readers. But, what irked me the most about Omen’s Bite and the first book too is the dialogue. Some of it was super cringey and the amount of “Sheesh” was waayyy to much for me. I get that the authors probably wanted to make these teenagers more realistic but phrases like that are never something I like to encounter when I read a book.
When it comes to the romance part I was also not a big fan. I didn’t root for any of the couples, especially Khento and Mercy. Jax and his love interest were rushed as well. To conclude the romantic relationships are a mess and I don’t like them. I blame the dialogue on this too.
Everything else was fine and this is a super fast paced read. The epilogue was fantastic and it was the best part of this book for sure. I could read short chapter like that one for days and not get bored. It was very well done! In the end I enjoyed reading this and I’m interested in reading the third book and seeing how things are gonna play out for Hunter and Mercy!
