This book annoys me & I only read to the point where Sadie watches the drunk kids trying to enter the house. I dislike open endings more than anything in fiction (among some other things) & the spoiler reviews make me believe this one will leave me mad as hell. I already had a fair share of bad books & bad endings on my shelf. The writing in Sadie isn't bad: while it might be too viciously slow, it keeps you wondering, longing for the resolution and what happens after the resolution. But that, unfortunately, isn't in the picture of this book.
I think I like Summers' The Project better (isn't it curious how the theme is almost the same: two sisters, one dead/missing, another is seeking justice, their parents gone? Kind of too repetitive for me.) While The Project has a clear ending on what happens to the protagonist and not the villain (or, like, we know WHAT happens, but not HOW exactly), Sadie states what happens to the villain & not the protagonist. What good can it do? Truly?
P.S: I read horror, true crime, gore, all kind of things. I read Mindhunter, The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy, The silence of the lambs, Dexter, so what happens here isn't that shocking. It's sad, heartbreaking, yes. But not something extraordinary, unfortunately. I don't think this book is targeted at someone like me. :)
