About this title

Review:

Praise for Omens

"One of the best new series debuts this year! With its compelling characters and completely original set up, Omens delivers a powerful combination of suspenseful thrills and supernatural chills. I can't wait to read more!"--New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner

"Like the creepy, spooky town of Cainsville, Kelley Armstrong's Omens lured me in. I was too busy, way too busy for this book, which, through a series of surprises and sleights of hand, had me conspiring for ways to get back to the gripping story, the colorfully bizarre cast of characters, and the clever, strong, smart heroine at its center. Don't pick this book up if you have anything else to do. It will grab you by the collar and won't let you up for air until it's good and ready. And once you're done, you won't soon forget it."--New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger

"Cainsville might be a nice place to visit, but I'm too creeped out to live there. Luckily, Armstrong isn't, and her dispatches from this village filled with sinister secrets are going to be keeping her readers up well into the night."--#1 international bestselling author Linwood Barclay

"Urban fantasy powerhouse Armstrong (the Otherworld series) begins the Cainsville series with a gripping thriller-paced novel featuring a young woman who learns that her wealthy parents adopted her after her biological parents were convicted of being serial killers. Mind control, gunplay, and double crosses will keep readers on edge to the last page."--Publishers Weekly

"Through first class writing and characters--including the town of Cainsville itself--that leap off the pages, Armstrong has penned a tale that I, for one, can't wait to see continue."--Suspense Magazine

"Armstrong, author of the popular Otherworld series, excels at world-building, and this 'reverse Cinderella story' perfectly launches a new series chronicling the irresistibly odd and creepy Cainsville universe. Fantasy fans will be eager to make repeated visits."--Booklist
