All the things that people are complaining about the story, I mean there is a point, but there are three things which people need to just stop and think about. 1) This is a fictional story, about vampires and magic at its core, there is nothing in the story background which is about "realism". 2) You are looking at young people (18 or 20 for the MC) for emotional maturity? Really? Dude comes to down, to see his long lost mother and sister. Finds shit is bad, but he is somewhat immune because the cult needs him. Okay .. so he feels somewhat safe. 3) Additional to point 2, Isabella has protected him and his family. Thus he feels even more protected.
People do dumb shit all their lives. I can tell you that people get into bad situations where any rational adult would just "Nope, I out" a long time ago but they are still there for various reasons. Want an example? > 70% of parents (mother or father) would give up 100% of their parental rights and have their kids taken away by the state FOREVER, than leave their abusive/shitty partner which is causing the issues with the kids. Meaning that (I will pick an example, but can be either gender). A mother would give up all rights to her kids, forever, than leave the man that is fucking her daughter (70% of the time). This is across the US, and based 100% on CPS (child protective services) statistics across the US, and not in one state, and over ~1 million cases. Stockholm syndrome is real, and people get too used their situation, and for some reason cannot take a step back and realize what is going on.
My point .. MC is in the thick of it, and doesn't feel immediately threatened, so why leave?
