Omens Bite

Courtney Passio

Something wicked this way comes... Twin sisters, Mercy and Hunter are witches, descendants of the Goode family of witches. After the murder of their mother at the hands of a foul demon, they have become the protectors of the Gates to different underworlds--ancient portals between their world and realms where mythology rules and the darkest of creatures exist. The problem is that the Goode sisters have split from each other. Grief and anger have torn them apart, driving Mercy to save the cursed Gates on her own and Hunter into the arms of a dangerous goddess. And when Mercy shifts her focus to the Egyptian Gate and Khenti, the guardian of its Underworld, little does she know that her connection to him will land her in the kind of trouble that only Hunter can save her from. When it comes to breaking the curse, Mercy and Hunter's bonds are put to the ultimate test.

Omens Bite is book two in the Sisters of Salem series and picks right up after the events of book one. Mercy and Hunter are twins left in charge of guarding the five gates to hell that are within their small town. However, after the first book, their relationship isn’t what it was and to be honest, both characters are very unlikeable in this book but I feel like that’s the point. They’re both going through things and both see their side as the right one to be on, they are after all, sixteen years old and are bound to make mistakes. 

The prose to this book is somewhat lacking, there’s nothing fancy and reads very young which is why I gave it 3.5/5 stars. However, I gave it that rating because overall, I did enjoy the story and read it fairly quickly for someone who’s a slow reader. 

Would I compare this story to a book like Serpent & Dove? No. BUT, if you’re a fan of stories (or movies) like Practical Magic, you might really enjoy this one! It’s a simple and easy witchy read for when you want to read a fantasy that’s not so heavy! 

For fans of:
- Practical Magic
- Witchy reads
- Younger styled prose
- Hot Demi-Gods
- Jerks getting what they deserve
