Product Description

Thirty years ago, teenager Rebecca Underhill and her twin sister Molly were abducted by a man who lived in a house in the woods behind their upstate New York farm. They were held inside that house for three horrifying hours, until making their daring escape.

Vowing to keep their terrifying experience a secret in order to protect their mother and father, the girls tried to put the past behind them. And when their attacker was hunted down by police and sent to prison, they believed he was as good as dead.

Now, it’s 30 years later, and with Molly having passed away from cancer, Rebecca, a painter and art teacher, is left alone to bear the burden of a secret that has only gotten heavier and more painful with each passing year.

But when Rebecca begins receiving some strange anonymous text messages, she begins to realize that the monster who attacked her all those years ago is not dead after all. He’s back, and this time, he wants to do more than just haunt her. He wants her dead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suspense at it's best!, July 21, 2010
This review is from: The Remains (Kindle Edition)
This is one of those books that once you pick it up, you won't put it down. From the very beginning of the story, The Remains has a hold of you and won't let go. This is an amazing suspenseful thriller about a young woman being haunted by her past and the man who abducted her and her twin sister 30 years ago. The twins never told anyone about what happened to them for fear that the man would harm their parents, and now he's back in the surviving twins life.

If this had been a movie I would have been watching it with my hand around my mouth ready to be pushed above my eyes to hide. I loved it! It was like a roller coaster. I don't read a lot of thrillers, but I do love reading suspense and mysteries, and this was the best of both. The characters were easy to understand and like. The storyline wasn't the same old suspense and it kept me guessing. This is definitely a good read.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense, thrillers and mysteries. Not inappropriate for older teenagers, but mature readers only. I think my oldest son, who is 16, would like to read this book, but it might be a little too much for my younger son, who is 14. Not really a book that is specific for girls even though the main character is a woman. However it would be good for women to read because she handles herself and her situation really well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful mystery/thriller, July 19, 2010

This review is from: The Remains (Kindle Edition)
This book will capture your attention from the first page. The writing style for the story is very easy and it is just pure entertainment. The characters are fleshed out in such a way that you get to know them well and you will find yourself getting personally involved with the.

My only negative with this book is with the editing. The biggest problem with the editing was incorrect use of adverbs, such as "Dan taught Molly and I to fish". The sentence should read "Dan taught Molly and me to fish". The only reason I am pointing this out is that it happens many times in the book. Editing and proofing are very important tools to use for any book.

Overall, I really enjoyed the story and would recommend this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Solid story, rough execution, November 26, 2010
This review is from: The Remains (Kindle Edition)
A captive story that is an easy read, but it is littered with typos (incessant misspelling 'naseas' made me want to vomit) and other errors. There is the element of suspense, but the straightforward story is quite predictable throughout.Descrptions are simple (everybody is running hands through 'thick hair') but the story fights through the writing and mistakes to be somewhat captivating at times. This is an easy read that makes it a decent thriller for younger readers, but Christie and King it is not.
