Omens by Kelley Armstrong
4.0
Omens was a great read. It gave me slight Arcadia Bell by Jenn Bennett vibes with the town of Cainsville reminding me of the Morgansille vampires but delivered with Kelley Armstrong's distinctive style. I enjoy how she writes her characters. They don't see the world in black and white but see see all the colours in the morality rainbow. They have their own code of ethics and it's not static but changes as the world around them changes. I loved the little tidbits about the characters which didn't overall add much to the plot but helped flesh them out as people - these are the kinds of books I love to read because I am more interested in the characters than the adventures they go on.
Olivia is more than what she seems to be and it was fun getting to know who she really is as she works it out for herself. The town of Cainsville and its inhabitants are quirky and oh so mysterious. I can tell this series is only going to get more interesting as we find out more about them and I'm excited for that.
The plot was well paced and I loved how it came it together. It didn't rely on coincidences and everything worked in a way which felt natural for the story. I didn't expect all the things but it felt right to the plot and the characters. I'm curious for the future and will definitely be reading the next book as soon as I can.
