Omens by Kelley Armstrong

3.0

Omens is is the inaugural book in a new series about a town called Cainsville, by Kelley Armstrong. Pretty good start, though I think she could have eliminated about 20% of it that felt like space filler. The ending was fairly satisfying, though Armstrong clearly left many things hanging for the next volume in the series. It was a creative idea to focus the otherworldly talents of the protagonist on her ability (unconscious though it might be at first) to see and read omens that others cannot. I found myself going to the Internet from time to time to look some of them up and see whether they were manufactured or if they have really been considered omens by someone somewhere. There are enough hints that others may have "talents" that I am wondering what will come in the next book in the series.
