Mentions of Ariana, Cheyenne and Sabine bring me back to the early days of the PRIVATE series. One of the best parts of this book is the mentions and reminders of past girls from the series. I appreciated Noelle’s protectiveness of her half sister, and I really enjoyed the dynamic between the two in this book. Now that Reed and Noelle are related, Noelle has really embraced Reed, even moreso than in past books. Speaking of Noelle, she is much easier to handle in this book. This whole witchcraft thing certainly came out of nowhere in the series, and I like that Noelle slyly references the randomness of the new plot line within the story.
As much as this line was funny, it also made me nod my head along with Noelle.
I’m a huge Sabrina fan (I own all the DVD’s. My favorite line in the whole book? It came from Noelle: “Do I look like Sabrina the Teenage Witch?” I laughed out loud when I read this line. I was on edge the entire time I was reading, and I actually ended up finding the whole book of spells thing kind of cool. However, OMINOUS restored my faith in this series. I wrote in my review that I’ve always loved how Brian’s books are thrillers, but I wasn’t sure I was ready to delve into the paranormal, at least in this series. I was extremely skeptical after reading the book before this one: VANISHED. Slowly, Reed’s dreams begin coming true, and she has no idea what she can do to stop them. Reed begins having extremely vivid dreams dreams in which her friends disappear. Spells? Witchcraft? Noelle is annoyed and dismisses the book, calling her grandmother crazy. The girls return to campus and find a book called The Book of Spells. The girls grandmother tells them that they are special and that there’s a secret waiting for them to discover back on campus. In the previous book VANISHED, Reed learns that Noelle is her half sister. But at Easton Academy, peace is definitely not in Reed’s cards. *Spoilers ahead if you’re not up-to-date with the Private seriesĪfter finally reuniting with Noelle after her mysterious vanishing, Reed is ready to settle down and enjoy the rest of the school year in relative peace.
