THE COLLECTORS’ SOCIETY Synopsis: From the author of the Fate series and The Deep End of the Sea comes a fantastical romantic adventure that has Alice tumbling down the strangest rabbit hole yet. After years in Wonderland, Alice has returned to England as an adult, desperate to reclaim sanity and control over her life. An enigmatic gentleman with an intriguing job offer too tempting to resist changes her plans for a calm existence, though. Soon, she’s whisked to New York and initiated into the Collectors’ Society, a secret organization whose members confirm that famous stories are anything but straightforward and that what she knows about the world is only a fraction of the truth. It’s there she discovers villains are afoot—ones who want to shelve the lives of countless beings. Assigned to work with the mysterious and alluring Finn, Alice and the rest of the Collectors’ Society race against a doomsday clock in order to prevent further destruction . . . but will they make it before all their endings are erased?
Review By Fidah
The Collectors’
Society is a fairytale retelling of Alice in Wonderland. It is classified as
young adult, but I would say it’s leaning more towards new adult because of the
sexual scenes involved. However, the scenes are not very graphic like most new
adult novels so you could give it a go if you’re looking for a story that has a
well-developed plot.
Straight off the
bat, this is probably one of the most interesting and creative stories. The
world setting isn’t perfect by any means, but it had depth. I like how much
structure the storyline had. The story was very cleverly paced and written. I
like the different aspects of the story that made the book stand out.
It is inspired
from Alice in Wonderland. I have not read that book yet. But it wasn’t
difficult for me to understand and learn about the characters. With that said,
the characters were really great. You get to meet so many different
personalities.
Alice is such a
bright and fun character to read too. Although she does have her darker side especially when you
get to learn about her past. She’s intelligent, strong and brave. As for the
love interest, Finn, he’s very charming and sweet. I like their relationship.
Their understanding of each other. I got a little uncertain when Alice’s past
and present collided but I’m happy with how it turned out.
All in all, one of
the most exciting book I’ve read this month. It had all the great stuff. It had
adventure, mystery, action and romance and everything was weaved together
really well. I enjoyed it.
4.5 Stars . . . Fidah
Excerpt:
“Do you find my ability to converse lacking, Doctor?” He chuckles softly, no doubt remembering how I wasn’t chatty with anyone, himself included, for the first month of my stay. To be fair, it is difficult to carry on an invigorating discussion when one is shaking so hard from withdrawals they fear they might shatter into thousands of painful pieces before a single word can be uttered. Plus, there was the whole bit of how once I did open up, I raved liked a lunatic about things no normal person could imagine being true. “Certainly not,” he says to me. “But as I must stay at the Pleasance and you must go forth into the world, it will do you good to practice on somebody new.” “Then send in one of the orderlies. Or one of the nurses. I’ll happily chat with a staff member.” One of his bushy, out-of-control eyebrows lifts high into his forehead. “There are people out there who are quite content being solitary,” I point out. “Who do not need to converse with anybody but themselves and their dogs.” He sets his pen down. “What about cats?” Rigor mortis sets in ever so briefly at this question. “You father said you were quite fond of cats growing up. There was one in particular that you favored. Dinah, was it not?” “I’m—” I have to clear my throat. “Lately, I wonder if perhaps I’m more of a dog person after all.”
