Another book I read a little while ago and have beeneaning to leave a review for.
Confession time, I didn't realised this was the second book in the series. This complicated things as I'm sure I missed a lot of vital information.
However, I still enjoyed this read. The premise was clever and I love Sci Fi stories.
I will be reading the first book!

Though I loved the first book, I felt like my interest in the trilogy dwindled with each book. The plot and characters are all good but I guess it's just not for me anymore.

This really was a great concept, but I couldn't quite get into it. It really didn't catch my attention

Awesome read, well written with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. The Story continues to unfold with more wrenches thrown I for catching Dylan. I love this series and can't wait to read more.

Another excellent book coming from Entangled Teen and the best part is that it didn't suffer from the dreaded second book syndrome. Sure, it was jammed packed with more information, which got to be a bit much but it was still very good. And I found a new favorite character of mine, which I will talk about a little bit later.

One of the best things about this series and this book is the readability. I flew through these pages. I may not have understood some of the more sciencey parts but I still gobbled up the words like mad. I honestly could have finished the book in a couple hours if I was completely uninterrupted.

Onto the characters. I adored Ash and she is probably my favorite out of the trilogy so far. Her strength and tenacity to live and keep fighting was astounding. She had been dealt probably the worst deck of life but do you think that kept her down? Absolutely not! She just kept getting back up and kept on fighting. I admired the heck out of that.

I didn't realize just how broken Noah really was. At times, his attitude really grated on my nerves but I just tried to remember he hadn't had the time to officially grieve. But man, there were a few times I just wanted to kick him in the head. The way he treated people he cared about got on my nerves very bad.

I'm still not sold on Dylan being a villian. I'm just finding it difficult to give him any support and find the reasoning behind what he was doing. It's almost like he was bad for the sake of being bad. Reminded me a lot of the Darkling. Maybe Dylan will get some sort of redemption arc but honestly, it might be too late for that. (Edit: after writing out this review, I looked to see who would be the POV for the last book and it's Dylan. So yeah...)

One of the coolest things about this book was learning about the different Earths. Some, like Ash's world, really sucked (burgers made out of goat meat? bleh!) but others that were mentioned were pretty cool. Learning about the different dimensions was honestly one of my favorite things about this series as a whole.

Overall, this was another fine book. I'm excited to read the conclusion. Hopefully everything works out and I get a happily ever after. But probably not.

I could not get into this book so I ended up listing it as did not finish. The writing wasn't clicking properly for me.

seriously, I should just redo my review I wrote for infinity on this review haha.

Because everything I loved about the first book applies to my love of this one too.

So many more unforgettable characters and exciting suspense and action. Some good ol' romance and flirting. And of course that oh so fun diminsion hoping. That once again never got muddled or confusing to me.

I just loved everything. Even having anew set of characters didn't bother me like so many of these books that change up the main ones do. I just fell right back into the story, and felt that same pull to not sleep and just keep my nose buried in my kindle until I had it finished. If book 1 got 5 stars, this one should get 10! haha

I've tried starting this book twice and have not had success actually sticking to it. The first book in the series was alright but it wasn't my favourite, unfortunately the writing is very similar and I just cant get myself to read another book like it.

The beginning is a tad slow, and unfortunately there is nothing that really hooks me and makes me want to keep reading.

Just not for me.

In the first book we are introduced to the notion that in every world, there’s a constant between people. For Cade it was Kori, and for Noah that’s Ash. However, Ash was never born in his world, and he’s spent every skip to a new world searching for her. Omega is the story of Noah and Ash as they team up together to try to stop not only Dylan but a new enemy on the scene.

Ash lives in a very dystopian world that has some pretty advanced technology. While Infinity is more advanced on her world, the people are treated in a very primitive manner. You see, they have something called tiers. Bottom tiers are the bottom of the barrel as far as society goes, they are looked upon as no more than animals. Then you have the top tier which is your elites. There’s also “listed” which means you are a pariah. You could be burning to death right in the middle of the street and no one would even look twice at you. So, to say that Ash’s world is one that the characters don’t want to spend a lot of time in would be an understatement. However, the cuffs that allow them to jump between dimensions is broken and they’ve found themselves stranded until they can come up with a way to repair them.

While the first book was focused a lot on the logistics of Infinity and what it all was, Omega throws you right into the action. We hit the ground running with this story and there’s not a whole lot of build-up to what’s going on. I liked that with this one we were always moving forward with the story instead of hashing out every little thing. This is definitely not a series you can jump into without reading in order, even though this book deals with two other main characters. Cade, Kori, and Dylan all play predominate parts in this story. We also meet some duplicated characters during their skip travels. This story had a whole different tone and feel to it with the dystopian vibe going on. Plus, Dylan wasn’t the big-bad-villain in this story. Oh no, someone from Ash’s dimension takes that title for this book.

Omega was an enjoyable continuation of the story. I’m glad that this installment focuses on Noah since you didn’t really get to see too much of him in the first novel. Plus, I wasn’t a huge fan of Cade and Kori’s story. Noah is more edgier and a bit of a mystery. Not to mention that you knew he had been searching for his “constant” every time they skipped and I was interested to see who she was and whether or not they would jive, since not everyone has the same personality in each dimension. I’m not sure who the next story will be about, but I’m hoping it will be Dylan. Yes, he’s a bad guy, but I kind of want to know what makes him tick.

I felt like I should've loved this series entirely, the description is something right up my street, but after struggling to connect with the characters in book 1, I was nervous to continue with the series. In fact the next book follows two different characters as main POVs. Similar to the first instalment, it follows two protagonists thrown into a world so far from what they knew to be "true". It is this turbulence which makes the read that bit more enjoyable. However my issue was that - whilst multiple POVs usually is a preference of mine, here it meant that there was some repetition which for me meant skim reading those sections.
That being said, I think the world building and continuation of development from Infinity to Omega is excellent, and the author does well to continue to build this world, yet not rely too much on the first book. These two could be read as standalones, but having read book 1 previously, I think it helps to read them in order.
Additionally the writing style and language used in this series has so far been easy to understand without compromising on description and detail. This makes it a super easy read, and I'd recommend this series to people who enjoy a Sci-Fi set in a familiar and relatable settings.
Overall I'd say this book for me had some good points and some not so good points - I kind of feel like I'm in a bit of a slump reading it, similar to book 1, but for now I'm awarding this 3.5*/5.

The gang is back in book two of The Infinity Division, Omega by Jus Accardo!

Kori’s life is safe for the time being as she heads out with Noah and Cade on another manhunt to find Dylan. With his last plan failing, Dylan is even more determined to get away from his brother Cade and find another version of his longtime love, Ava.

This time the novel is centered around Noah, Kori’s brother from another world. He’s the rougher version of Kori and isn’t afraid to speak his mind, even though he might offend people. As they world hop looking for Dylan, Noah has one other person that he always is pulled towards. Just as Kori and Cade always seem to find each other on different earths, and despite Noah not believing in true love, he can’t fight the feeling that Ashlyn or Ash is someone important to him.

Ash isn't exactly living the high life here on this earth. She’s part of the lower class of society, and the only reason she’s managed to stay out of trouble is because of the generosity of the Andersons. Not that Ash would exactly call them generous considering that Cora despises but tolerates her due to her son’s liking towards her. When suddenly her sons both die and Ash is somehow connected to both deaths, Cora’s favor is lost. In an escape attempt, Ash and Noah’s worlds collide. It’s not the perfect romantic movie moment that might be expected. Instead, Ash is shocked by this new Noah and can’t seem to wrap her head around it. As they work together to solve the mysteries that Cora Anderson is hiding, they learn more and more about each other and find it harder to fight the feelings they have.

Omega is another read that I would give 5 out of 5 stars. The plotline is compelling for a sequel and keeps you invested the whole way through. The introduction of a new character and new point of view allows to understand how other people get affected by the possibility of multiple worlds and Noah, Kori and Cade’s world hopping. With solid cliffhangers at the end, Accardo keeps you wanting more with each page and anxiously awaiting the final book.

This is Ash and Noah's story. I liked that Ash was strong and could stand up to gruff Noah. We were shown some brief glimpses of some of the other dimensions but it was mainly on the current Ash's dimension. Cade and Kori are there but mainly in the background. We get a closer up view of a couple of Rabbit/Phil characters. This dimension is ahead of the previous ones in the Infinity Division. It was a three for me because some of it just seemed to be a bit repetitive to a degree with the Dylan against the gang showdowns. Wish there was more dialogue too. We did meet G and Sera which are in the next book. The ending was left open for the next book. I received an ebook at no charge for which I voluntarily provided an honest review.

In book we really see these charters we have come to know and love really start to stand out. This time they have to deal with an ever impending situation in a whole new way. I thoroughly enjoyed the new POV's this time, I felt that it heightened my exceptions for book 2's end (and FYI I was not let down). This action in this book is still just as good as book 1&3 (b/c I accidentally read book three first lol). This little series is still very much unique to me as its something refreshing in  an over saturated YA market. Noah is probably my favorite right now in book 2, just saying. This "other" version of him makes my heart swell. Again it goes without saying but excellent world building and character development. 4.5 stars!

Huh. I am not sure how I feel about this one. I like the sci-fi aspects, but the amount of characters now feels like too many. Ava/Sera and G feel like unnecessary plot contrivances. I am also not sure why Kori and Cade are "complicated" in this one.

I didn't necessarily get much chemistry between Noah or Ash. They were fine, but felt a bit shallow. I think the characters got a bit lost in the details of the plot. And now there are multiple big bads?

This was such a great follow up to the first book in the series, which I devoured as quickly as I did this one. The characters were flawlessly done, and the story was so engaging that it was near impossible to put down. I highly recommend this series.

If I am looking for different I can always turn to this publisher to come across authors to give me that pleasure. So with this one I came across this author who will be my first time. Hopefully though I soon found out that this one was the second. The pace is also fast with me going along with Ashlyn. You are also torn when Noah reenters with the why and how with this now capturing you for the duration. In the midst of these two you find out that there is a secret that you must know thanks to curiosity. So from beginning to end I got what I came into this for.

“Omega” is a fun follow-up to “Infinity.” It expands nicely upon the science fiction aspect and adds more depth to the original characters. It also introduced new characters and points-of-view that were entertaining and expanded the universe a great deal. If you enjoyed “Infinity”, then you are most likely going to love “Omega.”

Review: 3.5 out of 5 stars

I am such a huge fan of Jus Accardo and despite having a few issues with Infinity, the first book in The Infinity Division series I was still quite eager to read the sequel, Omega and see how this creative world would develop.

The first instalment, Infinity followed Kori Anderson and Cade Granger; they make regular appearances throughout this book but it was told in the POV’s of Noah Anderson and Ashlyn ‘Ash’ Calvert who I thought were more interesting narrators.

The time travelling plot was fast paced as we see the characters still following villain Dylan Granger in his quest to kill every Kori in every world they stop at, the trio eventually land in a technology advanced world where the criminals are transported to another dimension.

I adored Ash, she was feisty and fantastic and her back story was quite sad, we didn’t learn much about her in the first book so it was nice to meet her; Noah is stubborn, loyal and an all-round decent guy! I loved his interactions with Ash as well as his friendship with Cade; his relationship with Kori still seemed tense but you can see the growing respect that they have for one another.

We meet a few more characters, Ava/Sera and G and I’m unsure of their purpose as yet and the effect that they will have in the future.

Omega is a nice continuation to the series, and despite the plot not changing much from the first book it was an adventure and entertaining none the less and the world building was more in-depth in this book. It was fast paced, action packed and leaves you wanting more. This book was a big improvement on Infinity for me.

Thank you to Entangled Teen via Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I usually forget most details about a first book in a series till the 2nd one comes out but for this series, I remember pretty much everything. And like the first one, this book didn't disappoint and I had a hard time putting this book down.

After the incident which left Kori's cuff linked to Dylan, Cade and Noah join the ride to catch Dylan who won't stop killing every Kori he finds in every dimension and gets his revenge and won't stop until he finds Ava. They need to find her before he does. During these journeys, Noah has noticed one thing, in every dimension, he is with someone named Ash and when they get stuck on a particular one, the Ash from that planet is something else, their chemistry is explosive from the very start and getting involved with someone means inviting more danger but when they learn about a mysterious project known as Omega, things are about to get more tricky for them.

The first book in this series, Infinity was narrated from Cade and Kori's perspective but this book is narrated from Noah, Kori's brother and from Ash's perspective which was a refreshing change though I loved Cade And Kori! Cade, Kori and Noah have only one target in mind, that is to catch Dylan before he kills more Koris but he can't shake off the fact that one girl is his constant in every dimension. The plot was interesting from the very start. One thing or the other kept happening due to which I wasn't bored for even a second. More characters are introduced in this book and my main curiosity was about the mysterious project Omega. And when we finally get to know the truth about Omega, it blew my mind! I mean seriously, the Cora of the dimension was seriously so evil and mean but I couldn't believe she could get down to that level!

I loved to see the whole gang present in this book. Although I definitely wanted more of Cade and Kori, I wasn't complaining because the chemistry between Noah and Ash was undeniable! Whatever little moments they shared, their chemistry was crystal clear. I wanted moooore of them but the situations they got into were highly unsuitable for romance so yeah, I understand. Ash was blamed for killing this dimension's Noah when actually that wasn't the case and of course, Omega had to be involved. I definitely enjoyed the mysterious aspect of this book and it was maintained well throughout the book.

Overall, Omega was a great read! The plot was pretty enjoyable and executed neatly. The characters were fun and witty and I loved reading about them. I especially loved the romance between Noah and Ash. The writing was smooth and easy to read and it was fast paced. After how everything ended in this book, I sooo can't wait to see what happens next!
