The Cherished by Patricia Sarrafian Ward
3.0
The Cherished is a story full of creepy atmospheric descriptions, suspense, and generations spanning mystery. What starts out as a relatively normal story of a young girl with a strange inheritance becomes something much more sinister and sad. The slow build-up to the end helps build tension. I also like how the ending remains a bit open ended, answering just enough to satisfy the reader's curiosity while still leaving some questions unanswered.
I do wish there was more about the other townspeople in the story. Most of the development came at the end when it felt too late. But the history of the town and their involvement in what takes place (trying to keep this vague to avoid spoilers) was one of the most interesting parts.
The Cherished is a quick, easy read for those looking for something to fill a rainy weekend.
