Despite my disappointment I did still enjoy the read, otherwise this would have promptly been DNFd but I just wasn't fully satisfied.
Maybe I will like past books by this author more because I did like the flow of the writing.

I really enjoyed all of the overlapping mystery plots that ran throughout this, and the tension maintained throughout. Great characters that were easy to get attached to, but complex and mysterious at the same time. I loved the small town setting, the historical witchy/occult vibes, and some of the wider themes explored.
My only minor criticisms is some unnecessary romance plots that for me felt a little forced in there, but thats a personal preference and they were very minor parts of the story. And secondly, there's the whole main character knows something we don't but won't tell us plot throughout that I normally find quite irritating in thrillers, but tbf I didn't mind it so much in this.

Still, it was a fast paced thriller. I loved the writing style and would be willing to read more of the author’s work in the future.
