Just wasn't fully feeling this one. Tried to get through it but it just couldn't fully capture me.
This one might take the cake for worst boom I've read this year.
I was SO close to DNFing and everyone knows I DO NOT do that.
Had to move to 2.5-3x speed to get through the last 2/3rds of this but the beginning was no better
I like the setting and creepiness. I like the legend that drives the story. I like the concept of the story being told and retold. I think I just wanted more supernatural creepiness and gore.
The Remaking was an absolute creep-fest! Wholly atmospheric with a writing style that propels you through the pages. The story of Ella Louise and Jessica Ford is eternal, told by word of mouth, through film, and then a podcast - but it was the story of Amber Pendelton haunted by the formidable Ford's that meshed most with me. A child tormented that becomes a woman tortured. Amber's past remains her present, unravels her future, and like all lives touched by the Ford's it's not until their bitter end that they are finally released.
Thank you to @NetGalley and @ClayMcLeod for my copy of The Remaking. This is my honest review.
