“Why, Bo Beckett,” he murmured, “it almost sounds like you’re catching feelings for me. Actual, actual feelings.”
Punk-ass.
“Or the flu,” I said. “Could be the flu too.”
I have to admit I was glad that I waited for this part to be released before I read Unmade – it was a relief to instantly be able to get the rest of Bo and Leighton’s story!
Remade picked up right after where Unmade ended, in the thick of the action / suspense plot. There were a lot of things going on, they were in the middle of an operation and things were quite chaotic. Emotions were also running high, especially for Leighton as he found out that his father’s brother was part of the operation. Their introduction had me sobbing, and to be honest, most scenes with Leighton’s newly found family hit me right in the feels.
There was a strong theme of healing and family in this part, and I felt like Leighton really started to come into his own here. I loved the development between him and Bo, and how fiercely committed they both were to each other. Bo ended up being a lot sweeter and more tender than I expected, and I liked how clingy Leighton was here. I really enjoyed Leighton’s character growth, he made quite the personal journey in this duet.
Remade was an exceptional follow up to Unmade, and I was so invested in Bo and Leighton’s story! The depth of the characters was fantastic and I pretty much always write this in my reviews for Cara Dee books, but she’s amazing at writing characters that feel genuine and real. I can’t wait to read more about the Hillcroft Group, I’m loving their banter and found family!
“You fucking beast,” he whimpered. “I swear, that’s what I’m gonna call you from now on.”
The beast and his pup? I liked that.
