I have a complicated relationship with Kelley Armstrong novels. On one had I tend to love the world building and the main character. On the other, well she has TERRIBLE male leads and her track record with female characters aside from the lead is problematic. It’s those second two that keep her from...

As sure as the sun eventually rises, I knew that I would read this book one of these days. When? Not sure, but I would get to it. After all, it was written by one of my favourite authors. Strangely _or maybe nor_, it was while I was reading Kelley Armstrong's anthology "Led Astray" that I saw what ...

Couldn't get into this. I love her writing just this was abit slow for me and I wasn't really in the mood for this book.

Omens is a contemporary thriller/crime series. What you will find are some references to popular belief and superstitions mainly out of Celtic folklore, nothing else. Also Omens heavily focuses on the legal aspect of crime/murder and not so much on the medical (forensics) part of it which I prefer a...

I wasn't sure what to expect from this novel -- I've read most of Armstrong's Women of the Otherwold books, as well as the teen spin-off series and enjoyed most of them. I absolutely loved some of them. The Otherworld is done with, now, and Omens is the start of a new series... There were some n...

Wow, surprised on how much I liked that with some of the reviews I've read. The complaints I've read: the subtlety of the paranormal aspects, the slow pacing and low sizzle of the romance--were actually some of my favorite aspects of this book. Not many authors can pull off this slow of pacing and k...

Loved it!! A complex and chilling novel (chilling for someone who can't even see gravity because it's too terrifying...), Omens is Kelley Armstrong's foray into mature supernatural literature - and a successful one at that! I adored every moment and appreciate the slow getting-to-know the characters...

I'm not really sure what I thought of this one. It's really a mystery with some paranormal elements than a straight up UF like the Otherworld series. That's OK with me and I found myself really intrigued by the setting of Cainesville (I have my theories about what's going on there) but I'm not sur...
