Mystery

Excellent sequel to Omens, continuing in the same vein, with a few more revelations about the magic. ( )

Off to a really bad start.
I already criticized the first book for the constant (in an echoing whisper voice) DEATHHHHH OOOOMENS and the second book literally starts with that exact same speel. Eyeroll.
Something I just realized is that one main issue with this series is that the characters are too realistic for an absurd plot like that. Your plot will corrupt the integrity of your characters regardless of how much you try to keep them believable.

The amount of nonsense that piled up in the first 40 minutes of the audiobook alone made me decide to not continue.
I don't even have the motivation to write it all down. Let's just say this is only going to get worse. ( )

Kelley Armstrong is by far one of my favorite authors, but this book let me down quite a bit.

Visions is the sequel to Omens, and by my opinion, made the series go down hill.

Now, it's not the plot that is bad. The plot was fantastic, and the character development was fantastic. The speed and movement of the story was my issue with it. I found that this book was so much slower than the first one, and I wanted to put it down numerous times. I only didn't put it down because I love Kelley Armstrong and I wanted to see where her writing would go.

I wouldn't suggest this book to people, despite my love for Kelley Armstrong. This book was just to slow, and I almost don't want to read the next one because of this. But, I will, because I am very interested in the Gabriel character.

Overall, I wasn't impressed. I expected so much more out of this book.

Three out of five stars. ( )

The Cainsville series has become a favorite of mine after I read a short novella and the first book in the series. I finished this book a while back, and I have book 3 and 4 waiting to be read. This is a great series, perfect if you like urban fantasy. Now, this is a series that probably is best read in order. I've read two novellas that contained spoilers, but I'm used to reading books out of order.

Visions story continues after the story in Omens. Olivia may have made some success in her parents' murder cases, but she has still a lot to do to clear them. If, of course, they now are really innocent. However, with the dead woman found in her car that looks just like here does she realize that danger is not over for her. Thankfully she has the mysterious Gabriel by her side. Now, she just has the figure out who killed the woman and why?

In Omen's did we get an introduction to Olivia, Gabriel and the rest of the characters. We also got an introduction to Cainsville, this little picturesque town that seems to hide some secrets. I have come to like both Olivia and Gabriel very much and I intrigued by the little town. In Visions, we get to know more about Cainsville and the people that live there. Let's just say that it's not a normal little town. I'm looking forward to reading the next book to learn more.

As for the killing of the woman, is that just the start. It seems that some women are being targeted, but why? And, is Olivia in danger? And, can the omens she sees save her life? It's a fast read book, with a thrilling story and I'm looking forward to reading the next book! ( )
