Onward to Monday ... eventually

Onward!

Shifting gears on my current read. Currently reading OMENS by Kelley Armstrong. This is first of a trilogy featuring Olivia Taylor Jones, from a prominent Chicago family, finds out she’s the adopted daughter of notorious serial killers, in Cainsville, Illinois. Here is a description:
Twenty-four-year-old Olivia Taylor Jones has the perfect life. The only daughter of a wealthy, prominent Chicago family, she has an Ivy League education, pursues volunteerism and philanthropy, and is engaged to a handsome young tech firm CEO with political ambitions.  But Olivia’s world is shattered when she learns that she’s adopted. Her real parents? Todd and Pamela Larsen, notorious serial killers serving a life sentence. When the news brings a maelstrom of unwanted publicity to her adopted family and fiancé, Olivia decides to find out the truth about the Larsens. Olivia ends up in the small town of Cainsville, Illinois, an old and cloistered community that takes a particular interest in both Olivia and her efforts to uncover her birth parents’ past.  Aided by her mother’s former lawyer, Gabriel Walsh, Olivia focuses on the Larsens’ last crime, the one her birth mother swears will prove their innocence. But as she and Gabriel start investigating the case, Olivia finds herself drawing on abilities that have remained hidden since her childhood, gifts that make her both a valuable addition to Cainsville and deeply vulnerable to unknown enemies. Because there are darker secrets behind her new home and powers lurking in the shadows that have their own plans for her.
Published August 2013, it has 496 pages. This is a 14-day book from the library.  I think it was the first person POV that grabbed me away from the Knight book.

The smoke in the atmosphere is really getting to my allergies today. Sinus pain and eye and headache. Took Zyrtek and Tylenol but not completely effective. So I'm listening to some vibration therapy - singing bowls, oms, and brain waves to help me get through the day.

To make dinner easier tonight, I'm going to pick up some chicken breasts at Albertsons on the way home.

Much love,
