A scream. What do you do when the unexpected jumps straight to the unbelievable, the dream becomes a nightmare, and waking changes everything except your heart’s desire?
This episode written by Matthew Cody.
This first episode is written by Matthew Cody and it’s freaking awesome. I read it before going to bed and it had me HOOKED from page one. It starts with a boy named Holden who finds himself in a broom closet during a play rehearsal and as luck would have it, offers his big time crush a ride to a party. Unfortunately, the car crashes, but instead of both of them dying, they suddenly wake up in a strange place with new terrors awaiting them.
It’s hard to not give much away, but boy, let me tell you all that this episode, and the whole serial, is one of the coolest things I have read in the last few months. I loved the panic and distress from the characters. The unknown and mystery to their situation. I cannot wait to uncover everything and see where it all goes.
If you are looking for a different kind of reading experience, then I highly suggest you try out ReMade. Shadows and Dreams is free to download and/or listen, so if you want to give it a try, now is the perfect time! You won’t regret it 😀

ReMade will unfold across 15 episodes. “Hungry” is the second episode.
May likes being in control: with an obsessive drive to succeed and her aim set on Harvard, she knows how to keep her life on course. Plucked from her whirlwind of tests and achievement charts, and dropped into a world where civilization itself has crumbled, she wants more than just answers. But living with deadly allergies means you’re always on the razor edge – one peanut, one bee sting, one toe out of line could be your downfall, and nobody wants to die twice.
This episode written by Andrea Phillips.
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a dystopic/sci-fi book where one of the characters has had food allergies before, so I was pretty curious to see how May would survive it…or not. I love how this second episode goes for the more realistic side of human sensitivities that are often forgotten or dismissed in post-apocalyptic books because of set-backs that will make storylines harder to write. Things like food allergies are hard to deal with when a heroine is busy trying to save the world or exploring new foreign grounds, so I know it is easier to have someone completely healthy running around, but isn’t it more realistic to show how someone has to face new challenges when she/he already has their own to deal with? I personally love it this way since it makes me feel a bit better about my survival possibilities in case I’m ever stuck in my own Sci-fi/dystopic story.
With that said, Hungry turns out to be a slower read but still so interesting to read about. I wish we get to see May more in action soon and what new challenges this new world will throw her way.
Now I’m off to read Episode 3: Home, Perilous Home written by Carrie Harris!
Wait! The page count is 39? Woah! So short and it looks fantastic. I def have to add it to my TBR now! Sounds like a great and different read!
The way they are writing these is very interesting. I have to give them that!
