WOW (82): Omens

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

The book I´m waiting this week is

Omens (Cainsville #1) by Kelley Armstrong 
Release date: August 20th 2013
Twenty-four-year-old Olivia Taylor Jones has the perfect life. The only daughter of a wealthy, prominent 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 learns that she’s adopted. Her real parents? Todd and Pamela Larsen, notorious serial killers serving a life sentence. When the news brings a maelstrom of unwanted publicity to her adopted family and fiancé, Olivia decides to find out the truth about the Larsens.

Olivia ends up in the small town of Cainsville, Illinois, an old and cloistered community that takes a particular interest in both Olivia and her efforts to uncover her birth parents’ past.

Aided by her mother’s former lawyer, Gabriel Walsh, Olivia focuses on the Larsens’ last crime, the one her birth mother swears will prove their innocence. But as she and Gabriel start investigating the case, 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. Because there are darker secrets behind her new home and powers lurking in the shadows that have their own plans for her.

Why I'm Waiting?
Because I´m a big fan of Kelley Armstrong, that´s why.

  3. I don't think I've read and liked many of Kelley's YA books, but I always thought to give her Adult books a try. Hope you enjoy this one when you get the chance to read it!

    Thanks for visiting my blog!

  11. First of the series, can't wait to read them all. Great new paranormal series from the author of the Otherworld series. Olivia is not quite who she thinks she is, and has to deal with lots of fall out when she discovers her true identity. Just enough paranormal to get your juices flowing, and make you want to read it all through in one sitting.
