Omega (The Infinity Division #2)
Jus Accardo
Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Infinity was good but, Omega was even better. The Infinity Division is a series of books, which follow on, and they need to be read in order.

Book one is Kori's Story, and Book two is her brother, Noah's addition. The adventure continues as they try to catch Dylan. This series contains an alternate reality so we meet characters we already know, however, their personalities differ. In Omega, we find Noah's perfect match, Ash but is she his? She had her own Noah, but could our Noah be the right one for her? Or are they another set of passing ships?

This is a continuous series, and although I found the story satisfying, it doesn't have all the answers. More is yet to come, and I look forward to it.

5 stars out of 5.

“Omega” is a really fantastic continuation of the Infinity series- even better than the first book! Here, we switch focus to Noah, who we knew from the first book, and Ash, who we are meeting on a new world. Noah and Ash are to each other what Cade and Kori are- they often seem to end up together on other worlds. We get alternating perspectives in this one, and I really think it helps to tell their story well/thoroughly. Ash’s world took a detour from ours when Al Capone became president and instituted a harsh social hierarchy thoroughly soaked with corruption. Ash is from the lowest social class but interacted with the upper class because she was temporarily adopted by Noah and Corey (here, Kori is a male)’s family at 10 years old- of course, this kindness has an expiration date. When she is 18, she will be returned to the lowest class.

Ash’s world was turned upside down when Noah died (presumably suicide- as a heads up to people who might be wary of this content) and she was blamed for it (his suicide note blames her), sentence to a life of slavery as a “Listed.” We learn all of this pretty quickly/early in the book so I’m not counting it as a spoiler. It gets even stranger when Dylan shows up and kills Corey in front of her- and then she meets Noah (the one from the first book who is still chasing down Dylan). We observe tidbits of Cade and Kori, but they really take a backseat in this book as we follow Noah and Ash. There’s a lot going on in this world, and it was really fascinating and yet easy to follow- whereas I felt the first book was confusing from the start and only after we got more information could I follow the first chapters, this sequel was really easy to follow and I was wrapped up in it immediately.

While I think Cade and Kori’s story was not yet complete and was hoping to continue with those two, I really enjoyed Noah and Ash’s perspectives and found this book absolutely enthralling. The alternate world in which this book takes place was really interesting and the tidbits we hear about other worlds was also fascinating- it’s quite a clever series, and I am really enjoying it. I still love the overarching theme of the series that certain people are meant to be (quite a romantic view of it all), and it was delightful to see it played out with some new characters. I also really enjoy the sci-fi elements, playing with the alternate realities and the technology that makes it possible (as well as its abuse/repurposing).

I have high hopes for the next in the series, and would love to see more of Kori/Cade as well as Noah/Ash- I hope we won’t be done with their stories. Really the only thing I would have changed about this book was to add in some more Kori/Cade, but I still really enjoyed it regardless. The next book can’t come soon enough!

Please note that I received an ARC from the publisher through netgalley. All opinions are my own.

Omega is the second book in The Infinity Division series, following the inter dimensional travels of Noah, Cade and Kori, as they try to track down a murderer across various versions of Earth.

Or, at least, it should have been. The majority of this book was spent building up the relationship (and sexual tension) between Noah and Ashlyn, a young woman who appears to be a constant in his life on all the alternate realities Noah has travelled to. That in itself, isn’t necessarily a bad thing (although it did get a bit repetitive), but it did offer readers an opportunity to understand Noah a bit more. He’s been through a hell of a lot, and it’s clearly taken a toll on him/

I felt like we should have had more Kori and Cade in Omega - although it’s clear now these first two books have not only been setting up backstory and world building but also relationship building. One can only assume that the third book will bring all the characters back to the fore.

One aspect I really enjoyed reading about was the horrific world in which the trio find Ash. It’s such a stark contrast to our own, with mobster’s running the United States (including one in the White House) and scientists with little morality calling the shots on inter-dimensional travel. There’s a frightening tier system for society - with high, mid and low-tier statuses representing high/middle/low socio-economic status, but with much less tolerance for those on the low-end. Everything from food, clothing and jobs are allocated based on the tier system and it was a really interesting twist to add to this story.

Overall I thought Omega was a good book; it keep me engaged, I wanted to know what was going to happen to Noah and Ash and the others. I was very interested to see how they got themselves out of trouble this time around and didn’t see the ending coming.

I gave Omega 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Having read (and loved) Infinity last year, I was so hyped for Omega. All of the things I loved then - the characters, their chemistry, inter-dimensional travel, edge of your seat action - return in full force in Omega.

“All the versions of us have this crazy connection. He wasn’t in love with me—I was never in love with him—but it’s like we couldn’t help ourselves. That’s why he was so vehemently against anything ever happening between us. We were drawn to each other—like we are. But you didn’t have an Ashlyn where you come from, and I had a Noah. He might not have been my perfect Noah, but he was all I got and for as long as I live, I will be thankful for him. Your perfect Ash might be out there somewhere. If you don’t let me help you get your friends back, you’ll never have the chance to find her.”

Told in multiple points of view, Omega tells the story of Ashlyn and Noah while keeping Kori and Cade as secondary characters to the next phase in the Infinity series. Jus pulls back the layers on the onion as the story unveils itself, going deeper and deeper into how truly evil the creator of the Infinity project is.

If I said good point, then I was a heartless bastard willing to sacrifice an innocent girl to save his friends—and a liar. If I spoke the truth, that I would rather hack each of my toes off with a machete then tap dance through a vat of salt before letting her hand herself over to those bastards, then I was insane. One of those freaks who believed in love at first sight. Which I wasn’t. I was…what the hell was I?

I have to admit, the whole time I was reading, I felt a massive case of whiplash. There was so much going on all the time and I was constantly shocked by how deep some of the history of the project goes. The sci-fi elements work in tandem with the slow burn romance. Jus is a master at the zingers - sentences or short passages that leave you breathless. Again, if you love sci-fi books with character chemistry, I highly recommend this series!
