I just did not care about this setting. Honestly thought this would be mostly black people. The rural, puritan, cult setting is just not something I'm interested in. The "women" in the woods seem more supernatural in a grotesque way. While I'm curious about what happened, it's not enough to overcome my general disinterest. I was starting to get into it a little and then the main character started making stupid decisions and I was done, lol. 

I just can't. It's traumatizing. I as doing okay slowly reading and putting down. Then the flashback to a certain scene was just heartbreaking. Put me in a reading slump. I'm officially calling it. 

Mind you haven't picked this up in over 6 months. It's too convoluted. The romance took a back step for no reason but to add drama. The first book was a lot but interesting enough plot-wise I wanted to see where this was going. This started off interesting then that died out for me. Add to the fact all these supernatural beings in one world is still not explained. It's too frustrating for me to want to pick up again. Maybe someday but it's been months so I'm officially defying this.

I just do not care about these people. The recent parts about this man being a patron are just disgusting.
