Review: Too slow of a build up and I lost interest about 40% in.

DNF 40%  It was just too slow.  I could see where it was going, with hints of intrigue and otherworldly foreshadowing, but it felt like a trudge trying to get to the story.These serial novels are a tricky thing.  If you can't pull me into the story on the first free taste, you won't get me to buy the next installment.Franki (our MC) was  an interesting character.  Struggling college student, abandoned by her mother on her eighteenth birthday, gets mysterious black roses on her twenty-first birthday.  There is a lot of filler trying to get her to the mysterious club where things are supposed to happen.Good idea, but it just didn't pull me in like I wanted it to.
