A Cainsville Novel

Visions

Maggie Gordon

(Probably a 3.5. Solid follow up to the first novel but slightly less compelling)

Olivia Jones is smart, capable, loyal... and the daughter of convicted serial killers. Taking refuge in the mysterious town of Cainsville, she is busy investigating her parent's case. But when the body of a missing girl is dumped in her car, she is forced to change tack. Trouble is, there's only one person who can help her - the charismatic, morally ambiguous lawyer Gabriel Walsh. The one man she has sworn never to trust again. Gabriel and Olivia are convinced that the killer is still at large in Cainsville. But secrets have a habit of staying buried in this eerily friendly town. And digging too deep has deadly consequences... A twisting and atmospheric standalone thriller, Visions is also book two in Kelley Armstrong's Cainsville series.

I mean, I thought Omens was good but this series is getting better as it goes along. The reveals are amazing, the mystery is intriguing and I am in love with the characters. There were parts of the story I don't like but even the stuff I don't like I still like (does that make sense?) and I am just so upset the final book in the series isn't out until next year (or at least it's the conclusion to this story arc anyway) so I've got to try and savour each book in this series so I don't have a long wait until August 2017. I just need to devour all Kelley Armstong books really. I am in love with this woman's writing.

A great continuation to the first book in the series. Eden/Olivia finds out more about her background and the crazy lithe town she is now living in. Gabriel and Ricky are along for the ride. And who to pick? Sexy, biker, MBA student Ricky or brooding, strong Gabriel. But heads of dead girls in your bed doesn't leave much time for romance. There are still questions to be answered.

In the second book in bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's exciting new Cainsville series, Olivia's newly discovered power to read omens leads to the discovery of a gruesome crime with troubling connections to her hometown. Omens, the first installment in Kelley Armstrong's Cainsville series, introduced Olivia Taylor-Jones, daughter of notorious serial killers, and Gabriel Walsh, the self-serving, morally ambiguous lawyer who became her unlikely ally. Together, they chased down a devious killer and partially cleared her parents of their horrifying crimes. Their success, however, is short lived. While Olivia takes refuge in the old, secluded town of Cainsville, Gabriel's past mistakes come to light, creating a rift between them just when she needs his help the most. Olivia finds a dead woman in her car, dressed to look like her, but the body vanishes before anyone else sees it. Olivia's certain it's another omen, a sign of impending danger. But then she learns that a troubled young woman with a connection to Cainsville went missing just days earlier--the same woman Olivia found dead in her car. Someone has gone to great lengths to kill and leave this young woman as a warning. But why? And what role has Olivia's new home played in this disturbing murder? Olivia's effort to uncover the truth places her in the crosshairs of old and powerful forces, forces that have their own agenda, and closely guarded secrets they don't want revealed.

I read this yesterday and I am so glad I read it on a day I had no plans at all because I just couldn't put it down and I didn't want to. I just wanted to keep reading until it was over.
Some of the questions have been answered but there are so many more now which makes me want to read the next book but unfortunately I will have to wait until the next book comes out.

This is a faced paced book that got me hooked from the very beginning. 

I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed Omens, the first book in the Cainsville series, and I loved that it was more supernatural mystery than urban fantasy, with just a hint of underlying supernatural abilities. I loved the strange friendship between Gabriel and Olivia and I couldn’t wait to pick up the sequel.

Visions had a great plot that moved forward affter the events of Omens, with a strange connection between her town and a missing girl. I enjoyed the journey and I definitely want more, but Visions was disappointing to some degree. Omens was not a romance, but there was a slow burn between Gabriel and Olivia as she slowly began to rely on him and his icy demeanor melted a bit for her. 

In Visions, the relationship was strained after Olivia was pursued by Ricky, a biker she met in book one. I like Ricky, don’t get me wrong, but I did not want that relationship to happen and the book was peppered with tons of romance between the two of them that just made me feel like banging my fist on the table. Not only do I not trust whatever Ricky is, because he’s definitely something, but I would really like to see more Gabriel and Olivia. Ricky just feels like a setback, a temporary distraction, and so I kind of felt like it was a waste of time. 

For some odd reason, my library has the rest of the series except for book three, so I had to make a decision about what I would do next. While I like the premise and want more, I wonder if the author will distract me with more romantic adventures I don’t want. I just don’t want to pay $10 to read the next book, so I think I’m going to take a break and maybe read some reviews and see what to expect from the book. 

The story has a lot of potential to be great, but part of the reason I loved book one was the fact that it wasn’t full of romance. It’s weird, because I love romance, but I just wanted something different I guess.

I definitely recommend the Cainsville series, though, and I’m sure I’ll return to it at some point.
