The Cherished Summary

The Cherished by Patricia Ward

For fans of White Smoke, The Hazel Wood, and Wilder Girls comes an original, hypnotizing horror thriller in the vein of Midsommar, as one girl inherits a mysterious house from her estranged grandmother-and a letter with sinister instructions.

Jo never expected to be placed in her absent grandmother's will-let alone be left her house, her land, and a letter with mysterious demands.

Upon arriving at the inherited property, things are even more strange.

The tenants mentioned in the letter are odd, just slightly...off. Jo feels something dark and decrepit in the old shack behind the house. And the things that her father used to talk about, his delusions... Why is Jo starting to believe they might be real?

But what Jo fears most is the letter from her grandmother. Because if it's true, then Jo belongs here, in this strange place. And she has no choice but to stay.

The Cherished Reviews

For fans of Guillermo Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, Lebanese-American author Ward draws from her experience to create a frightening story exploring identity, grief, and what it means to be family. - Robin Roe, author of Dark Room Etiquette A captivating mix of mystery and mythology. - School Library Journal [A] pulse-pounding thriller, pairing brisk pacing with frenetic plotting that adds a layer of unease to Jo's harrowing situation. - Publishers Weekly A slow-burn mystery rooted in family bonds and duty... An oppressive unease effectively pervades the novel until Jo at last finds purpose and belonging. Hand to those who enjoy atmospheric character studies. - Booklist An exploration of belonging, a tale of generational trauma, and a fantasy thriller oozing with mystery around every corner. - Mugglenet
