I go into most of my books without
full knowledge of what they are about or really any genres. For me, it works… I
don’t like knowing anything but what I’ve read briefly when I signed up to read
and review book. I guess I missed that this was a YA horror. It wouldn’t have deterred
me though, going back and rereading the synopsis… I like the sounds of the
Ultimate Sacrifice. It’s the YA part that would have made me a bit wishy washy.
However, I’m glad that I read this book. I enjoyed it a lot. I feel like it has
a great possibility of being a fantastic book! I enjoyed this story as a whole
but also as a whole, it also had its problems.
I LOVED the ending; seriously I was
shocked by the ending. I was completely blindsided by the ending of the Ultimate
Sacrifice. SE Green told a great story. It had all the elements that you want
in a horror. The suspense and mystery were perfect! The characters were
interesting and likeable. There might have been a few times I wanted to smack
Vickie in the back of the head, but honestly, that’s a common occurrence for me
while I’m reading… perhaps I’m slightly abusive ;) I also found myself enthralled in this book,
absorbed perhaps, it was fascinating. Green truly creates the… I can stop
reading at any time, right after I finish the next chapter… feeling. I just kept
reading.
So I’m giving this book 3.5 stars
because I really think if SE Green was to go back to this book and add in some
finer details this book could be 5 stars! All the bare bones are here and even
the organs and some meat… but what we’re missing is the muscles and tendons
that connect everything and gives it that finer detail and use. It’s the development
that’s lacking. I get why the book is rushed and it works because you want to
rush through it as well. Wade was extremely underdeveloped and I his character
could have added to this story. For how tight the family was I feel like they
weren’t developed enough, some situations were just odd. We need to know more
about the family. It’s so hard to explain what I feel like could have been
developed more without giving stuff away. Also, the sleep walking thing should
have been mentioned throughout and so much could have been added here. Even
having a “bad guy” POV that is vague would have added.
Honestly, I really liked this book.
I really hope the author returns and develops it a bit more. This book could be
in top reads everywhere. The writing is good. The story is great. The
characters are interesting. Just develop more and I know this book can do
things!
I
received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased
Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my
opinions are just that... my opinions.
