Omens by Kelley Armstrong
5.0
I can confirm that I will read everything written by Kelley Armstrong. She had me at DIMESTORE MAGIC in 2006 and I've read much of that series since. I've re-read some as audiobooks. I've read her YA series Darkest Powers as well as the Nadia Stafford series about the assassin for hire. The rest of her books are on the WWBL or on Mt Git'r'Read. Not many authors can write like this, several series and each with a unique voice.
I can only hope that the Cainsville series comes out in audio format at some time as I would gladly listen to OMENS. This is suspense + dark fantasy excellence.
Most outstanding is how strong the main character, Olivia, is. She finds out she's adopted and her true parents are notorious convicted serial killers. She discovers that she has a knack for research and investigation. She is stubborn and is definitely not a pushover. She can make a go of it even after removing herself from her adopted family's wealth and her life of luxury that has been all she's known.
She's scared but she keeps pushing forward. She battles the media, her family, families of the victims of her birth parents, the perceptions of the general public. She's always known she's different than her wealthy peers, but now she's getting to know just how different she is.
She doesn't exactly embrace it, but she grows to accept her enhanced difference.
The book reads as a suspense mystery with a tinge of magic and dark fantasy.
Definitely recommend.
