"One Roller Coaster of a Ride"

I have seen OMEGA everywhere and when I got the chance I
knew I had to see what all the fuss is about. I did not read
the first book in the
Infinity Division series but felt OMEGA could be read as
a standalone novel. This book series features teenage
characters that are a part of changing dimensions trying to
find three people that are responsible for the murder of
Noah's sister. Noah is set on revenge and skips from
dimension to dimension to try to find those who are
responsible. I feel that they do not stay in one dimension
long enough to explain what they are doing in that dimension
before they skip to the next. While Noah is skipping he comes across other versions of Ash
in the other dimensions and has always been able to walk
away. This time though it is harder to fight the pull he
feels towards her when she is near because there is
something different about this version of Ash. Not sure why
this pull is so strong he tries to find a way to figure it
out without her knowing. The setting in OMEGA changes a lot
as they change from each dimension but overall the main
characters seem to stay the same. Accardo writes a very vivid and detailed description of a
lot of the places or dimensions they visit. This helps to
add more depth to the plot line and overall story. I did
enjoy the story but found that the characters were really
lacking backstories and depth so maybe this series needs to
be read in order. There was not much there to help mesh the
plot line and setting together. I just feel OMEGA was
lacking something and because of this it really did not hold
up to all the hype for me.

SUMMARY
One mistake can change everything. Ashlyn Calvert finds that
out the hard way when a bad decision leads to the death of
her best friend, Noah Anderson. Only Noah isn’t really gone. Thanks to his parents’ company,
the Infinity Division, there is a version of him skipping
from one dimension to another, set on revenge for the death
of his sister, Kori. When a chance encounter brings him
face-to-face with Ash, he’s determined to resist the
magnetic pull he’s felt for her time and time again. Because
falling for Ash puts his mission in danger. But there’s more going on in Ash’s alternate universe than
either of them knows: a mysterious project called Omega. A
conspiracy spanning multiple Earths and revolving around
none other than Ash. Its creators would do anything to keep
Omega secret… Anything.
