Obsidian Feathers by N. Cáceres

Did not finish book. Stopped at 36%.
this was the disappointment of the year. i was really excited to read about the native culture, but the alpha(shit, abusive)-male was too much. this is unhealthy obsession, it can never be more than that after struggling through the 36% of the book i managed to read.
the final drop was this scene from the male's pov:
You do not need them anymore.” I flicked the container open and reared back at the stench. 
They smelled like death. I dumped the first compartment out into the pool of water. 
“Sal. I need those! I need them for my ADHD!”
Turning to her, I glared up and down. “You will get over it.” 
“That’s not how that works!” She clawed at my wrists as I flicked the last of the compartments into the toilet and barked a snarl back at her. 
“You don’t need them.” 
“Yes, I do! I can’t focus without them!” 
“Try harder,” I snarled, pushing past her and out of the bedroom. 
“You’re such a dick! I hate you!” Tears swam in her chestnut gaze as I turned to her. 
“You’ll get over it.” I slammed the door behind me and headed out into the courtyard. 
I needed space
🫠no, no, absolutely, not, i'm out
