COMING SOON AS A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN AND STARRING JAKE GYLLENHAAL AND PHOEBE DYNEVOR "You're going to fall in love, Tate. And when you do, it's going to change your life forever..." New York architect Tate Donovan arrives on Cape Cod hoping to make a fresh start after the loss of his sister. When he takes up residence at a historic bed-and-breakfast, he unexpectedly encounters a beautiful young woman named Wren - and their immediate connection challenges everything he thinks he knows. But as their fragile relationship begins to blossom, Tate discovers that Wren is haunted by a dark past. To free her from a desperate fate, he must uncover the truth before it's too late... As their secrets collide, Tate is faced with a devastating choice. Because loving her could cost him everything... A beautiful and heart-wrenching supernatural love story from the minds of two brilliant storytellers: the bestselling author of The Notebook, and the blockbuster filmmaker behind The Sixth Sense. Real readers love Remain: '[This epic love story is] often creepy but always engaging. I raced through it' Daily Mail 'Love, spirits and sinister secrets converge in this unusual, genre-blurring collaboration between two masters of emotional and eerie storytelling' I paper 'A warm-hearted, sentimental tale' Guardian 'Tender and unsettling, a novel that lingers like a haunting' The Weekend Australian 'Nicholas Sparks with his signature love story combined with M. Night Shyamalan's suspense brought about a unique combination. This is one of those books you don't want to put down but you also want to savour' GoodReads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'The mix of genres (romance, whodunnit mystery, and slight horror) make this book a five-star read! Remain is a haunting, emotional, and unforgettable read. Highly recommend' GoodReads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'An absolutely captivating story! It had romance, suspense, paranormal, mystery, small town vibes, and healing...a perfect October book...I didn't want to put it down!' GoodReads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I LOVED this romance, but it also had so many other elements that kept me hooked. The mystery and paranormal aspects were chef's kiss, and I felt like I was watching a movie while reading this one' GoodReads reviewer ⭐⭐
