Remains by Andrew Cull

3.0

I love a good haunted house book. The premise this story was based on was intriguing - a grief-stricken mother trying to reach out to her lost child through spiritualism. The grief that the mother in this story was going through put her on the knife edge of madness. The lengths she was willing to go to in order to get in touch with her dead son was unfathomable to a reader who's never been driven to the edge.

This book wasn't that scary for me. I'd personally prefer a comparable haunted house book by Darcy Coates to this book, something along the lines of [b:The Haunting of Ashburn House|30646488|The Haunting of Ashburn House|Darcy Coates|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1466297768l/30646488._SY75_.jpg|51187708] or Cherie Priest's [b:The Family Plot|25543181|The Family Plot|Cherie Priest|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1431700446l/25543181._SX50_.jpg|45335275].
