I'm torn about this book. The author creates an excellent tale, really enjoyable descriptions, and interesting characters. All of that gets an A+++.
However, there were a bunch of discrepancies. Usually just small things like saying the MC didn't like sweets, but then going out of his way for sweets and I believe they arrived at a cemetery twice. Still, it took me out of the moment as my brain processed something wasn't adding up.
My biggest concern though, was the personality change in MC1.

I do enjoy the characters and I want to follow as they, hopefully, learn more about what happened to them. It really is a unique book.
Oh, just an fyi, this is a romance and plot driven book. The heat is low-med.
