I was surprised by how much I enjoyed The Sacrifice.
There is legend of a mysterious island in the Philippines where locals turn away at the mere mention of it. So of course, a ghost-hunter like show is set to ruin the native floral and fauna for views. Tensions starts to flare as members of the crew start to see people from their past. People who shouldn't be alive, yet are. One by one, the crew starts to get picked off as secrets are unraveled. Any more and it'd spoil the twists!
I do think most characters besides Chase were a little undeveloped and would have loved to get to know some of the other main character's a little bit more. I do feel like the romance was shoe horned in, as with any YA novels, but can appreciate the attempt to reprint a gay couple in a culture where it isn't as accepting.
Overall, I'd recomend!
