Remains
Grief is a black house. How far would you go? What horrors would you endure if it meant you might see the son you thought you'd lost forever? Driven to a breakdown by the brutal murder of her young son, Lucy Campbell had locked herself away, fallen deep inside herself, become a ghost haunting room 23b of the William Tuke Psychiatric Hospital. There she'd remained, until the whispering pulled her back, until she found herself once more sitting in her car, calling to the son she had lost, staring into the black panes of the now abandoned house where Alex had died. Tonight, someone is watching her back.

This book was my favorite of the month by far. A story of grief, loss, and just how far a mother will go to do whatever she can for her children. Be that dead or alive. Lucy is driven to a breakdown by the murder of her young son. She commits herself to a psych ward and stays until she starts feeling a pull towards the house where the murder happened. Lucy can’t escape the need to be close to the house but to what end? This is a super dark, atmospheric book (there might be a theme here) but holy wow, is it ever worth it. Remains was most definitely a 5 star read!
