**I am a member of Cara Dee's ARC team and received an electronic ARC through BookSprout.** Cara Dee continues the story begun in Unmade with Remade. This is absolutely a "part two" with Remade continuing right where Unmade left readers on a cliffhanger. Because this is technically book 3 (2.5?) in the Hillcroft Group series, there isn't a lot to be said about the events of Remade that avoids spoilers other than mentioning that Leighton and Bo's story continues in this one. I am aware that Unmade and Remade were originally one story and that there was a need to split because the story was simply too long. If Unmade is the introduction to Leighton and Bo featuring some training montage-type grey man school, then Remade is the portion centered on family and building security for Leighton. Together, the combined story of Leighton and Bo is strong. As an individual story, I really can't say that Remade stands on its own feet. I absolutely love the content in Remade, but it needs the content from Unmade to support it. One can argue that's often the case for sequels, but I would say that these stories are in no way self-contained. If you read either book independently of one another, you are receiving an incomplete story. Just consider the two week break between publication of Unmade and Remade to be your commercial break. This is a deliberate choice and is a feature, not a bug. In the end, I'm a sucker for all things Hillcroft. Leighton and Bo are a great pair to follow with high stakes both emotionally and externally. The respect that develops between them is realistic and admirable. Leighton's family situation in this book is very much smooth compared to what it could have been, and I think readers will agree he deserves the win on that front given the rest of the struggles faced in any other given direction. Overall, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to read Remade early, and I am eagerly awaiting not just future Hillcroft books but also anything else Cara chooses to write.
