Remain: A Supernatural Love Story

Predictable. Wasn’t creepy like I thought it would be.

It was slow at first but as kept on reading I was hooked. It kept me guessing until the very end. Love it would recommend to my friends and family.

I was intrigued by the collaboration and was not disappointed! This was an easy read with fun twists and turns. A great who-done-it! I expected the well defined characters and epic love story of Sparks, I expected the twisty, ghosts, paranormal undertones of M. Night, and this book married these two specialties together beautifully. I needed a spooky season book and this was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Nicholas Sparks has been an auto-buy author for me for literal decades and I have enjoyed several of M. Night Shyamalan's films, so this collaboration intrigued me greatly. I thought the blending of mystery, romance, and the paranormal made for an entertaining story, but I can't say it was something wholly new, which was a bit of a let down. I was waiting for a twist or some unpredictability, but it never came. I will still be looking forward to watching the movie when it releases. Thanks to Edelweiss and Random House for the digital Advanced Reader Copy and thanks to Libro.fm and Penguin Audio for this Audiobook Listening Copy in exchange for an honest review. I started off reading the book, but when I saw Julia Whelan was doing the narration I wanted to finish it in audio. The narration did a great job of bringing these characters to life.
