I was so excited to hear that Kelley started a new series, and this one sounded remarkable. I dove into it not long after it arrived and only came up for air when I had to. It's just that fantastic.

With a first book in a series, I knew that there was going to be a lot of world-building. I expected it and I wasn't disappointed. From Olivia's posh life to when she has nothing but the clothes on her back to Cainsville, a picturesque town with a lot of secrets, the attention to details by Armstrong bring each scene to life.

There are quite a few characters and not all of them are introduced in Omens. I'm looking forward to meeting Olivia's birth father, who is currently in prison. Many characters just cameo'd and their actions didn't make a lot of sense to me, which I'm hoping is revealed in an upcoming installment. I like the premise of Olivia having a talent for Omen's and how she starts to know who she is and come into her own. But, while Armstrong gave a few answers, by the end, I had more questions.

Page-turning, rich in suspense, impeccable character development and amazing world building, I couldn't get enough. I need more and I fear it will be a long wait for the next one! While I couldn't stand Gabriel at first, the lawyer helping Olivia find out what really happened to the murders her birth parents were accused of, by the end, I found him charming, yet dangerous. I can't wait to see what those two get into next! Highly recommend!
