Reread #2
Even the third time this gets better. I love series that start putting hints down from day 1 about what's going to happen and then rereading and figuring them out. There was some parts where I really wanted to hit myself for missing the first time since it revealed some big plot points near the end. I can't wait to finish this reread.

Reread thoughts
I can't believe how much I missed the first time! All these little lines and words that hint as to what's going to happen. I loved reading this the first time around but it only got better the second time!

Quick thoughts:
1. Completely amazing.
2. Easy transition from the first book to this book.
3. The romance isn't typical. There's no love at first site. It's complicated.
4. The plot was excellent but different from the first book.
5. It leaves you wanting more. The next book is going to be intense. ( )

The second book of the Cainsville series continues the adrenaline paranormal rush of danger, mystery, and Welsh folklore meets the modern era. With just the right balance of everything to keep the pages turned and wanting more. I doubt I would have enjoyed this as much as a stand alone. A keeper now it is time to read the next book of this series ( )

Mystery

Excellent sequel to Omens, continuing in the same vein, with a few more revelations about the magic. ( )

Off to a really bad start.
I already criticized the first book for the constant (in an echoing whisper voice) DEATHHHHH OOOOMENS and the second book literally starts with that exact same speel. Eyeroll.
Something I just realized is that one main issue with this series is that the characters are too realistic for an absurd plot like that. Your plot will corrupt the integrity of your characters regardless of how much you try to keep them believable.

The amount of nonsense that piled up in the first 40 minutes of the audiobook alone made me decide to not continue.
I don't even have the motivation to write it all down. Let's just say this is only going to get worse. ( )
