Am a bit disappointed with this book loved the first 100 pages but after that if just felt like the story ground to a halt so that the main couple could bang which i don’t necessarily hate the idea of but they are not that compelling and don’t develop or change at all in the story. I’m sad as i feel like any set up earlier in the book just fizzled out into nothing. Why is the main premise of the story solved in one chapter, such a let down. I liked the premies and the halloween witchy vibes but this just did not stick the landing everything lacks depth.
