The writing was fine, but the heroine made a horrible decision at the end which made me lose both all respect for her and and any interest in her getting a HEA.

If someone discover that a mystic curse makes them prone to uncontrollable fits of murder, than declaring that they still intend to go hang out with a child and no, they refuse any escort from people who might prevent the murders if another fit comes along, and that it's because they "can't be ruled by fear", then that person is a complete asshole. Reading this book during a pandemic did not lesson that conviction of mine. I don't root for people who have no qualms about slaughtering children. Anyone who thinks it would be worse to hang out with a friend than to accidentally kill a bystander is a jerk. And not a good romantic partner.
