The Sacrifice by Shantel Tessier
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.0
Definitely I don’t like how Shantel Tessier writes her FMCs.
It upsets me every time.
I’ve tried with the Ritual. I gave a chance to the sacrifice thinking maybe with Tyson it could be interesting. But it is simply worst.
Weak, submissive, and also very naive, like they aren't capable to take care of themselves. Wiping, whining and sobbing all the time with an incapacity to stand up for themselves, that’s a big no for me.
TSTL. That’s it.
That’s a shame because I like the stories and the plots in this series but each time I want to throw and burn my KOBO / phone when the FMC go with the flow of what is inflicted to her and she even doesn’t think about revenge (sometimes when they just are a little angry, they just sulk. Great. Thanks.)
Damn girl, burn all the building and escape, he just SA you 😡
And obviously there is a pregnancy trope to finish me. I loath it especially in DARK romance.
