Omens Bite by Kristin Cast, P.C. Cast
4.0
I liked Omens Bite so much better than spells trouble. There was a lot more of a story to me in this novel. The sisters are at odds and there is no build up to the story since it picked up where the first novel ended. However I found some chapters more enjoyable than others. The Mercy point of view chapters made me really hesitate continuing the novel. She just acts like a self absorbed brat. While this is part of the story and meant to be part of her traits but it was making the story really hard to read at times. I really enjoyed hunter’s chapters better.
Mercys character is very self-centered and likes to be the “pot calling the kettle black”. Everything Hunter did was wrong and no one could tell her differently. This really started to wreck this series for me because it was too over the top.
Hunters chapters were so much more enjoyable and had so much more happening. There was action and suspense where mercys were mostly complaining about Hunter. Hunters character however shows how important boundaries are. She really stands up for herself in this story and I loved it.
Overall I really want to enjoy these books more than I do as a whole. I really feel like Hunters chapters saved this novel for me. I would have had to mark it as a did not finish if it wasn’t for those. Instead I’m excited for the next novel especially with the cliffhanger ending this one had. I feel like it redeemed itself at the end.
Audiobook Review
I only listened to a few chapters of the audiobook. I didn’t feel the narrators voice fit the characters that well. The voice used for Mercy sounded too valley girl for me. I found the print version better for this reason alone.
I received an advanced copy through netgalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
