The Cherished by Patricia Ward
3.0
It’s a fantasy/paranormal thriller with a touch of horror. For a good chunk of the book you were made to believe one away until something finally happens and confirms it. I think I would’ve like the ambiguity of it and I almost wish other “outsider” characters weren’t in the know. The book obviously was never going to go in that direction but it’s just something I thought about if I wrote something similar. I also almost wished that it had a different ending like maybe the character didn’t have to do the same actions as her grandmother but instead showed compassion and maybe that could’ve resolved the issue. Idk, it’s a YA book about how the mistakes of your ancestors can follow you. Like she’s being punished.
Also would like to say the main character was annoying for a good portion of the book. Super bratty and angsty. Normally I don’t have a problem with main characters like this but at least they had character and personality development. She was so flat, sorry.
