OMENS
Let's get this out of the way, we have a young woman with a problem who goes to live in a strange town and meets up with a socially stunted young professional with a past. She also hooks up with a 'bad boy' who isn't really a bad boy and part of her troubles include an ex-fiancee with a definite personality flaw. No, I haven't begun to review City of The Lost again, but you'd be forgiven for getting confused.

CITY OF THE LOST
Kelley Armstrong is best known for her supernatural thrillers but on this occasion she ventures into the world of detective fiction giving us a new hero in Detective Casey Duncan. I've reviewed other novels by Kelley Armstrong and the vast majority of them I really like and for a very good reason. She delivers on plot, keeping you interested in the "what happens next" element of the story, but most of all she creates characters that you connect to and care about.

THE SEA OF SHADOWS
The Otherworld series of novels really placed New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong on the map and deservedly so since every one of the 13 novels maintained a standard of writing that made the characters and plot accessible without stooping to formulaic repetition. I admit I was hooked early on and eagerly awaited the publication of each instalment in the series.
