Olivia Taylor-Jones is still reeling from discovering that her parents were convicted serial killers and even thought her and her lawyer Gabriel, were able to prove that her parents were not responsible for all the murders there is still lots of work to be done and this time it is elements of Gabriel's past that may hold the light on some information. As Oilivia's omen become more and more frequent and foreboding Olivia's desire to discover the truth puts her in the path of two power forces, both of which have their own plans for not only Olivia but Gabriel as well.
This is the second books in her Cainsville series and to be honest I wasn’t really sure about the first book I thought it was okay at best but i had heard the second book was great so i decided to continue on. One of the things I did not like about the first one is that it seemed muddled at times. This book was much more straightforward in aspects of the plot and what Olivia and Gabriel are trying to achieve and figure out but still held true to the folklore aspects and they are for sure much more in the forefront in this book.
The heart of this book really centered around several mysteries in not only trying to discover all the abilities that Olivia has, but also the two warring sides, who committed the serial murders that her parents have been convicted for and what the town of Cainsville really is. I am happy to say that we get some answers and more information to several of these mystery points, and enough hints that will bring readers back for more.
Well, that got spicy fast as
there was none, not even a hint of spice in the first book. If you like books
with some spice, then you will like this book but you will need to read the
first one before you get there. I'm not one for sex scenes in book unless they
add to the story and I think overall the relationship between Olivia and Ricky
is essential to the story and the two warring sides, we just haven't fully seen
it play out yet. I do hope that this does not lead to a whole love triangle
which there are already hints about some extra feelings here and there, but I
have not read an Armstrong book where she has taken this troupe, so I hope that
she does not start here.
Well, it is not often where the
second book is better than the first but for me that was totally true with
Visions. This book has made me want to continue on in the series and see where
Armstrong takes it and I'm totally here for the paranormal/urban fantasy lite
that this book has. Bring on all the Omens and Folklore
Enjoy!!!
