THE SACRIFICE was such a great horror read. i really enjoyed the setting and the eerie atmosphere was slow-building and suffocating. 

there was a lot of lore throughout this book. everything had a well-thought-out reason or history to it. at times it felt a little overwhelming, but i definitely prefer lots of lore to none at all. 

the entire film crew is INFURIATING but hemslock… babygirl i’m finna rock yo.. yeah you know how it goes. some people just don't deserve redemption.

this book holds strong themes of greed, privilege and power with a standout quote being, 

 like okay….. go off then i guess... 

each chapter ended with a cliff hanger which kept kept me hooked and wanting to read more.

my main qualm with this book is that each character seemed to have 3 different names. depending on who was speaking, each character could be referred to as their first name, last name, or something random (e.g., hawaiian shirt). it was consistent based on the speaker, but still hard for me to follow since there were quite a few members of the film crew. this would have been easier to follow if we had distinct povs (per chapter) or if there were only 2 names to keep track of.
