Commentary In Pursuance Of Books The Last Harvest
“I plead the blood.”Those were the last words seventeen-year-old golden boy quarterback Clay Tate heard rattling from his dad's throat when he discovered him dying on the barn floor of the Neely Cattle Ranch, clutching a crucifix to his chest.
Now, on the first anniversary of the Midland, Oklahoma slaughter, the whole town's looking at Clay like he might be next to go over the edge. Clay wants to forget the past, but the sons and daughters of the Preservation Society—a group of prominent farmers his dad accused of devil worship—won't leave him alone. Including Ali, his longtime crush, who suddenly wants to reignite their romance after a year of silence, and hated rival Tyler Neely, who’s behaving like they’re old friends.
Even as Clay tries to reassure himself, creepy glances turn to sinister stares and strange coincidences build to gruesome rituals—but when he can never prove that any of it happened, Clay worries he might be following his dad down the path to insanity...or that something far more terrifying lies in wait around the corner.

The Last Harvest by Kim Liggett is described as Friday Night Lights meets Rosemarys Baby and because of that, I was immediately intrigued. After reading, I have to say it leans more toward Rosemarys Baby and the only tie to Friday Night Lights I could see was that the main character was at one time the popular quarterback. Even with that in mind the story that Liggett created was an interesting one.Clay is the main character and he has been dealing with a lot since his father died a year ago. HeThat was an okay read but nothing more than that. The story, which revolves around Devil worshipping, has been done many times before and better than this. I think part of the problem is that the author doesn't go all the way into full-blown horror, it's more of a watered down plot probably marketed toward YA audiences, and it shows. The story is told entirely in the main character POV; in that regard, we get to know Clay very well as he suffers through an endless series of supposed
3.5 StarsThis was a suspenseful young adult horror novel with a fantastic autumn setting. Filled with football and harvesting, this would be an excellent book to read in the fall season. The teenage romance was an annoying distraction from the occult plot. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this folk horror novel.
World, get ready for this book.
Mon avis en FrançaisMy ENglish reviewIts been a long time since I read a novel of this kind, a novel of anguish or even horror but it is always interesting to plunge back into this type of atmosphere. I had the opportunity to read some reviews before beginning the story and it was with pleasure that I saw that they were all positive even if several explained that for a YA novel, that it did not correspond to a youthful novel. I can understand that and it is true that I did not expect the story
I have loved Liggetts writing in all the books Ive read by her. And what she does best, is write well-rounded characters!Clay was such a relatable character and he was going through a lot. Sometimes I didnt know if he was crazy or what was going on! And I loved that!I also liked the thing going on between him and Ali but I felt their relationship was a little underdeveloped. I would have liked to have seen more scenes between them with deeper conversations or even flashbacks!Other than that, I
