It is hard to dispute that Kelley Armstrong is a gifted fiction writer. Omens is no exception but fans might find the book little different from her usual style. Omens is largely a detective mystery novel. I don't always enjoy mystery novels but Omens was good enough for me to make one of my exceptions. 
 For those who like Kelley Armstrong's romantic storytelling, there were hints that romantic entanglements could be in the future of the series as well as clues as to the possible relationships. 
 As for the inclusion of otherworldly fantasy elements, there were indications that fantasy elements will start to play a greater role but for Omens Kelley kept these aspects fairly minimal.
