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.

Though slightly too creepy for me at times, I did love this story. The bits and pieces coming together slowly and the unanswered questions that kept me guessing. Such an interesting author pairing that works really well here.

Bookclub read. It was too predictable. Not supernatural or even a thriller. We all rated the book a 6 or lower. I am sure the movie will be better then the book unfortunately.....

Remain is a decent novel. A simple read. An okay book by okay writers.

Tate was enjoyable enough as the main character. He was not very relatable considering how privileged he was raised. He’s a grown-ass man and didn’t know how to do his own laundry or cook? I also was caught a little off guard by how much he LOVED his sister. Obviously, family members love each other, but they were giving incest vibes.

Wren felt less like a character and more like a plot device. A bit of a stretch to title this novel a love story. Them falling in love was very rushed. The book was more of a supernatural mystery, which I enjoyed. Maybe if more edgy writers wrote the book, darker themes and ideas could have been explored. This book just felt like a beach read.

Unlike many people online, I don’t hate M. Night Shyamalan. I enjoyed a few of his movies: The Visit (2015), Split (2016), and Knock at the Cabin (2023). I only chose to read this book because of Shyamalan. I knew what I was walking into. I wasn’t disappointed.

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