"Just like Armstrong's Otherworld series, Cainsville comes to a
tense, satisfying head in Rituals." --Inverse Praise for Kelley
Armstrong's Cainsville series: "Kelley Armstrong sure knows how to
spin a yarn. . . . Betrayals, Armstrong's best book yet, is the
fourth novel set in the otherworldly town of Cainsville. . . .
Along with the supernatural, Armstrong knows her ratiocination."
--The Globe and Mail "Armstrong's name is synonymous with great
storytelling, and this Cainsville series is definitely being set up
to deliver a heck of a surprise when it all comes to an end."
--Suspense Magazine "Impossible-to-put-down. . . . Bring on the
next Cainsville volume, please." --Sarah Weinman "[Kelley
Armstrong's] dispatches from this village filled with sinister
secrets are going to be keeping her readers up well into the
night." --Linwood Barclay "Kelley Armstrong has paranormal elements
in her classic mysteries but there are no ghouls, ghosts,
werewolves or fairies and that's why readers who loathe crossovers
will love this series. [S]mart, cleverly plotted and really well
written and you don't have to ignore the vampires to get to the
good stuff." --The Globe and Mail
"Sometimes big, bad things really do come in small packages and no
one is more adept at unwrapping them than [Armstrong]."
--Providence Journal "I am not a fan of mysteries that cross over
into other genres, and I don't like books that begin with infant
narrators. So when I tell you that, despite that, Omens kept me
reading on, you can bet it's a good book. . . . A clever whodunit
with some very nice twists and the fantasy actually works."
--Margaret Cannon, The Globe and Mail "Armstrong creates heroines
who are smart and strong, but with real weaknesses and
vulnerabilities. They may be wrapped up in the supernatural, but
they are realistic and relatable." --Winnipeg Free Press "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!" --Lisa Gardner, New York Times
bestselling author of Touch & Go "Like the creepy, spooky town of
Cainsville, Kelley Armstrong's Omens lured me in. I was 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." --Lisa Unger, New York
Times bestselling author of In the Blood
