I really wanted to love this book, the plot sounded so good but in the end it fell a little flat for me.
There was a ton of worldbuilding/storytelling but not much actually happening until the last 100 pages or so. I didn't feel any chemistry between the main couple it honestly felt kind of forced, and there seemed to be a lot more focus on the secondary couple in the story.
I did love the Obeah, I really hope book 2 focuses a bit more on them and the bond.
Overall I enjoyed this book I just found it sort of dragged on a bit, hopefully with most of the worldbuilding out of the way book 2 will have a bit more going on.
