I was so looking forward to reading this book and was so happy when I was able to get an ARC, but this book fell so flat for me.
First off, the way it started was so confusing. You have no context, no idea what is going on or how it relates to anything. This theme continues throughout the books. You are given no idea how anything works or how it is connected to anything or what it means. You need context! You need the history of the town, you need I formation about why Demarco is in Gloria. You literally don’t get this until 88% of the book and it’s a hard slog without it.
This book had so much promise but delivered on absolutely none of it.
