I spent at least 40% of this book confused. It felt like I had missed pages of info I needed. I think I got a lot of it through inference as the book went on, but I feel like there are still pieces I'm missing. I completely get that it was done on purpose, but maybe too much was left out.
I was only partially interested until we got about 75% in. Then it picked up and I got more deeply invested. I will read the next book (and likely the series). This reminded me of other series of “paranormal investigators” but only slightly.
