Following the epic conclusion of her internationally bestselling Women of the Otherworld series, Kelley Armstrong launches a brand-new series set in Cainsville, a small town as spookily fascinating as Stephen King's Castle Rock or Dean Koontz's Moonlight Bay. Olivia Taylor Jones, 24, seems to have the perfect life. The only daughter of a wealthy Chicago family, she has an Ivy League education, pursues volunteerism and philanthropy, and is engaged to a handsome young tech-firm CEO with political ambitions. But Olivia's world is shattered when she finds out that she's adopted. Her real parents? Todd and Pamela Larsen, notorious serial killers, each still serving a life sentence. The news brings a maelstrom of unwanted publicity to her adopted family and fiancé, and Olivia thinks the best thing she can do for herself and for them is run away from it all. She ends up in the small town of Cainsville, Illinois, an old and cloistered community that takes a particular interest in both Olivia and her decision to uncover the truth about her birth parents. Olivia decides to focus on the Larsens' last crime, the one Pamela Larsen swears will prove their innocence. But as she and Gabriel Walsh, Pamela's former lawyer, start investigating, Olivia finds herself drawing on abilities that have remained hidden since her childhood, gifts that make her both a valuable addition to Cainsville and deeply vulnerable to unknown enemies. There are dark secrets behind her new home, and powers lurking in the shadows that have their own plans for her.

Omens is one of those books that you don't want to end. I loved every minute of it and found it extremely hard to put down.
This is also the first novel I've read of Kelley Armstrong and I'm very pleased to say I'm a new fan and will look out for more of her novels.
I just loved the story of Omens, the characters. It was amazing. I'm so glad I saw it and randomly picked it up. I can't wait for the second book in the Cainsville series and I can't believe I have to wait so long for it.
3.5 rounded up
A bit long winded and there's POVs and soo many clues scattered about its kinda hard to keep track but I'm really enjoying it. I love a good mystery with supernatural elements mixed in!
So excited that Kelley Armstrong has started a new series! And the book definitely lived up to my expectations.
