Remains by Andrew Cull
5.0
Remains is brutal and quite literally my worst nightmare as a mother come true. The murder of your child. With this in mind, it was confronting to read but it hooked me in immediately and didn't let go until the end.
Remains follows Lucy, a mother who loses her child to murder and is left trying to come to terms with what happened. Witnessing her journey with grief is overwhelming to say the least. Lucy as a character is multi-faceted, complex and feels real. She is flawed which only serves to humanise her and her grief more as she grapples with trying to come to terms with the loss of her son.
Paranormal elements are intertwined here when Lucy decides to go back to the abandoned house where her son was brutally murdered. Lucy accidentally makes contact with darker forces in an effort to contact her son.
Andrew's writing is beautiful and immersive. I found the pacing perfect and didn't want to put the book down. I stayed up late reading Remains.
If you're a fan of grief horror you need to read this one. You won't regret it.
