Whispered Thoughts: Blog Tour & Review: OMNI By: Andrea Murray

~ What's It About? ~

Pierce only wants a shot, a real shot, and not just the excuses he’s been handed his whole life. Harmony wants to escape her future, the future she fears will be chosen for her. After their chance meeting, they might get exactly what they want.

Since taking over the US government years earlier, the Omni party has created a perfect existence. From consorts to job assignments, every choice, every facet of life is under their control. Each citizen has a specific role in one of the four strata. Seventeen-year-old Pierce is a Drudge, the lowest social stratum in society. For over two years, he’s hoped—prayed—that his upcoming aptitude test will finally free him from his virtual slavery and give him a chance at a better existence. When he rescues Harmony, an Artist and member of the most successful stratum, at a publicity event for her latest movie, his life takes an unbelievable twist. With his gallant act and good looks, he becomes a media sensation. Every stratum in society seeks his membership for their publicity, but as he becomes closer to Harmony, Pierce realizes what fame in the all-seeing eye of Omni is truly like. His choices will not only affect him but Harmony as well. The life Pierce thought he wanted may not be worth the cost to either of them.

~ My Thoughts~

This story had it's good moments and bad moments like any other story, but I just felt it was too much like Divergent, Matched mixed with a little bit of Hunger Games. I know this was more on a love story then anything which does make it different. This story had a good catch but I did find myself wanting to finish this out, just not my thing. I felt like I have read it before it what threw me off the most. As much as this story was packed with lot's of action and choices I just found I couldn't get into it.

The author did a great job in writing the story. It's hard to say rather it had a 1person POV or if it had Multiple persons POV that was hard to tell. I did enjoy the characters charm, and the way they talked to each other was really enjoyable to read. Just as the more and more the story went on I had a harder time to tell myself to finish it, but at last I did(I'm the type to not leave a book unfinished unless it's really wonkers). I do want to give a huge thanks to the author for sharing her story and I know that in other eyes it is a really great story. So my many thanks to you for this story.
