#1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong begins her new series with Omens,
featuring a compelling new heroine thrust into a decades-old murder
case and the dark mysteries surrounding her strange new home.
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.

I want to read everything Kelley Armstrong writes. I was excited to hear that she had begun new series, even though I love the Women of the Underworld.
To my surprise, in our library system these were not in Fantasy, but Thrillers. And yes, the fantasy content was quite small, but it definitely was there. You might like to check your shelving!
I think the big picture behind all of the schemes is the interesting one - I didn't care so much of the main characters, the things that have happened at the background is the thing that keeps me looking forward to the part 2!
