A review by ginabyeg
Omens by Kelley Armstrong

3.0

The book was an interesting read--enough that I want to read the next in the series. That being said, some things that kept this book at 3-stars instead of 4-stars for me: There was a lot that Armstrong tried to unfold in this first book--CSI-type mystery, supernatural phenomena, CIA elements, and hints at a romantic relationship. I think it was too much, and I'm hoping some of it gets scaled back or weeded out entirely going forwards. Some aspects felt crammed in too fast, and others felt like there wasn't enough given to really latch onto. I felt like this book could have spent more time on Olivia's history, and childhood experiences, that would better tie in to what she experiences as an adult. Still, the story clearly kept me turning pages. Willing to give #2 a try.
