In the meantime, I have thrown my reading schedule out the window and am off to be Rattled! She lives in Essex with her family. Rattle is her first novel.

The collector by Fiona Cummins is the continued story from Rattle the first book which I do recommend you read first.

The collector is spine chilling , nerve racking, frustrating and heart breaking all at once with some characters you wish you can save and others you just wan The collector by Fiona Cummins is the continued story from Rattle the first book which I do recommend you read first. If you’re look for something a little different maybe even a bit disturbing I recommend Rattle and the collector and for them to be read together. Picking up soon after the first novel ended, Cummins envelops the reader in this thriller, tantalising them with her wonderful abilities and cliffhanger moments.

Clara Foyle is still missing, having not been found when the police raided one of the residences of the Bone Collector. In a gaffe during transport, the Bone Collector got loose and fled, remaining off the radar. These developments have been haunting DS Etta Fitzroy ever since, forcing her to come to terms with the horror of a child that has been lost.

While she remains determined to find Clara, DS Fitzroy must wait for a significant clue to emerge. Meanwhile, after settling in rural Essex, the Bone Collector, now going by the name Mr. Silver, is trying to reestablish himself, much of his work still unfinished.

He has found an apprentice who will be able to help him with his work while also trying to decide what purpose Clara might serve.

Saul is a teenage boy forced to care for his alcoholic mother alone, after his father fled. Filled with angst and animosity, he is the ideal candidate to work alongside Mr. Silver, though he is still not entirely sure what is in store for him. After a new victim is lured to the beachfront house and killed for her bone anomaly, Mr.

Silver has found his legs and is back in business. DS Fitzroy is ready to resume the hunt, but will she be prepared for what Mr. Silver has planned now, and with someone to help? Cummins keeps up her electrifying story and leaves the reader stunned as they push through to see how it will all come to play out. Those who enjoyed the first novel in the series, as well as readers who love a good psychological thriller, will love this second piece. Fiona Cummins has not lost the momentum she developed with the start of this series, pushing the genre out of its comfort zone.

This only goes to show that Cummins is ready to use her ideas and reshape an already crowded genre, pushing her to the top of the list, amongst other powerful writers.

Etta Fitzroy is still superb cop who has been processing the difficulties of a jaded work-home balance and a husband whose forced her to rethink her life choices.

Armed with the failure to apprehend the Bone Collector once and for all, with Clara Foyle still out there, DS Fitzroy must work even harder not to botch the case again. The Bone Collector—Mr. Silver—has regrouped and sees the benefit of cultivating a new generation to continue his macabre museum of bones and medical anomalies. Still, there is much work to be done and many lives hang in the balance, as well as victims that must be culled around the country.

Cummins offers some great backstory here to explore where the penchant for bones and murder might have originated, providing the reader with wonderful insight.

The story is just as strong as before, flowing well through chapters full of information and cliffhanger moments. It would appear that date and time stamping each chapter poses the dual benefit of providing the reader some context and showing that Clara is still missing, and has yet to be recovered.

This chill is not lost on the attentive reader, who wonders what is in store for the victim who has touched the lives of many characters in this book. Cummins does a magnificent job at injecting thrills and suspense into her narrative, leaving things hanging as she forces the reader to beg for more.

Kudos, Madam Cummins, for another award-worthy novel. I hope others will see what I have discovered and pick up this series in short order. View all 8 comments. After viewing the cover endorsements of The Collector, by Fiona Cummins, I was keen to delve into this one headfirst. The Collector is the second book written by author Fiona Cummins, but it is my first experience of this author. It was dark, gripping and oh so creepy.

However, Jakey continues to worry that the Collector will return to finish what he started. In the process, her family are losing hope. For the Collector himself, lately he has been preoccupied by his desire to find an apprentice to take on the legacy of his evil deeds.

With no biological children, the Collector must groom the right kind of child for the job. Fitzroy must capture and defeat the Collector before it is too late and more victims pile up. The Collector helped introduce me to a brand new voice in crime fiction, author Fiona Cummins. The Collector is the second novel Fiona Cummins has penned. I have not read the predecessor of The Collector, Rattle.

For those who have read the previous book written by Fiona Cummins, Rattle, this one delves into familiar territory. For new readers to this series, like me, I will ease your mind and openly state that I believe you can read The Collector as a standalone I did. Cummins ensures you do not feel any sense of being out of the loop. I consider The Collector to be a solid crime novel, with very creepy undertones.

In some places this scared the socks off me! Cummins is skilled in her ability to create a solid wall of tension in this novel, the atmosphere is both stifling and nervy. Her setting is just as murky, adding plenty of darkness to this chilling novel.

The whole concept of this book is rather astute. The idea that a serial killer is so highly motivated and focussed on grooming a replacement to take over his dirty deeds was stomach churning. Kudos to Cummins for getting inside the mind of such a challenging individual, who is clearly on the fringes of society. Cummins also successfully embodies a number of contrasting viewpoints in this novel, from the lead detective, to the victims and their broken loved ones left behind.

It is a tough gig to embody all of these figures but Fiona Cummins seems to take it in her stride. The Collector delivers a creepy thrill ride from start to finish. It sure is a chilling read, written by an emerging voice in the crime fiction field that will definitely linger in your mind, long after the final page has been turned. View all 7 comments. Dark, creepy, and just as ominous as the first in the series! With having loved Rattle last year I knew I had to get my hands on The Collector.

Let me tell you! There is a certain creepiness factor here that reminds me of The Silence of the lambs Hannibal style. This was such dark and delicious treat! Fiona Cummins you have quite the talent for dark, creepy, and scary! Howley is someone that you don’t want to EVER cross. He will stop at nothing but finding his new “family” of dy Dark, creepy, and just as ominous as the first in the series!

He will stop at nothing but finding his new “family” of dysfunction and killing for a passion. Brian has a new nickname for himself “The Bone Collector” He also has a new apprentice that’s by his side in “training”. Can Etta stop Brian before it’s too late? READ this series! It’s addicting, scary, and cringeworthy creepy.

Thank you to Netgalley and Kensington for the arc in exchange for my honest review. View all 10 comments. Fiona Cummins rattled our bones in Rattle. She made us shiver. She delighted our senses, with exquisite horror. Now the star of Rattle returns in The Collector. When I mean the star, I mean our seriously deranged homicidal killer with the weirdest hobby.

We get more of our favourite Collector. Young Jakey is free from the clutches of the Bone Collector. He has moved with his family, to the seaside. Jakey is haunted by what happened to him.

He thinks he sees him. He fears for Clara Foyle, who he knows is being held by this evil man. Detective Sargeant Ella Fitzroy is still searching for the killer. She knows he is out there. She has not given up hope that Clara is alive. She lives for the day, the Bone Collector makes one tiny mistake. The Bone Collector is the invisible man. He has gone into hiding, having escaped from custody. He is lurking out there and watching.

He selects a new apprentice to join him. He wants a new collection of deformities. This is the purpose of his shallow life. He casts his eyes around him. I loved The Collector, so much more than Rattle. We really know our killer now. We are part of the action. We are waiting for the final resolution. We are Ella Fitzroy, watching everything enfold. We fear for the neglected and lonely boy being groomed.

Fiona Cummins blends the mundane with the horrific, to effortlessly draw us in. This is chillingly beautiful. I enjoyed Rattle. Fiona Cummins is the master of the chilling, unnerving tale told in poetic language. The Bone Collector is my kind of evil dude. Nightmares guaranteed. Recommended for fans of Karin Slaughter, Mo Hayder and anyone who loves intelligent, disturbing crime.

I absolutely banged through it in less than 24 hours. I think its safe to say that my favourite character is little Jakey Frith. He is wise beyond his years, and some of the scenes with him in The Collector are more than a little emotional. The Collector is the perfect follow-up to Rattle.

It has the same creeping sense of dread, with a very menacing undertone. The macabre darkness that flows through the narrative made me shudder more than once, and I was afraid of what was going to happen to the characters.

It is clear, well-constructed and very clever. I know I would love to catch up with these characters again, but regardless of what she writes, I am definitely a huge fan! Highly recommended! The Collector was better than Rattle. View all 3 comments. How could I NOT give give this 5 shiny stars?

This book picks up three months after the end of the previous book. Etta Fitzroy is still on the case but running out of steam as there is nowhere left to look. Five year old Jakey Frith, who was thankfully rescued at the end of the last book has moved with his family to a small coastal town in Essex.

Clara Foyle was not so lucky and was spirited away by the bone collector. That monster managed to escape while the car he was being transported to locku How could I NOT give give this 5 shiny stars? That monster managed to escape while the car he was being transported to lockup in was in an accident and the police driver injured.

But the bone collector has not given up. He knows where Jakey has moved and he has moved to the same area, calling himself Mr Silver. He also wants to train an apprentice to continue his ‘work’ and thinks he has the perfect candidate in 16 year old Saul. Saul is a bright young lad who lives in poverty with his alcoholic mother and few prospects.

And Saul is not lily white. But just how dark is he? This story races, over the course of a few days to a terrifying climax where the ending is far from assured.

Along the way there are some very dark moments. Here we have no creeping menace, here the menace comes on like a juggernaut. There is no escaping it. There WILL be a showdown. And there WILL be blood, lots of blood. Etta rushes to get involved as soon as she hears of another abduction of a young person with a bone deformity.

Jakey lives in fear as he has seen ole’ Mr Bloody Bones in his street and poor Clara is trapped and alone and awaits her fate. Dear readers, I read this in a day. It was literally unputdownable. Ms Cummins has a real skill in ramping up the tension and your emotions. This one tugs on the heartstrings and plays icy fingers down your spine.

I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next. Just one thing. This is very much as sequel, you really need to read Rattle first.

View all 4 comments. I enjoyed every second of this audiobook and will definitely be looking for more from this author. Story telling at it’s best.

Very highly recommended. And then another half. At the very least. It is gripping, totally gripping, does literally make you hold your breath at times and bloody hell that ending, that slow, scary, uncertain finale almost had me falling off my chair. Maybe not even then….

Edgy, unpredictable, scary as all heck and so brilliantly spellbinding that you may come away with actual bruises from the tension, The Collector is one for thriller readers everywhere who are looking for those differences, those books that stand out not only for quality but for pure reading pleasure.

Painful pleasure sure. But absolute reading joy. The sequel to last years excellent “Rattle”, The Collector is just as good and just as creepy.

As this is a continuation of the story, you will be best served by reading “Rattle” first. Neither story will disappoint. A lot of the same characters return, with Clara still missing, and young Jakey again a target for The Collector. The DS Etta Fitzroy leads the hunt to recapture our villian. And the interractions between the Collector and troubled teen Saul made for riveting reading.

Like Rattle, I tore through this one quickly. A fast paced story I didn’t want to put down. All opinions are my own. Series Background: Warning — May contain spoilers from previous books Etta Fitzroy is trying to balance home and work. Etta still mourns the loss of her still-born baby boy.

She is finally working on her relationship with her sister, and her new nephew. Her father, not so much. She still hears his condescending voice. So she does what she does best…throws herself into her job. Unfortunately, she is still searching for Brian Howley, aka The Bone Collector, a serial killer who targets those with bone disabilities. Clara has cleft hands. Silver, has moved to the seashore…to be near the boy that got away. He wants to start a new collection, and he is already considering a couple of likely candidates.

He also wants to pass his legacy on, and has an apprentice in mind. But in the back of his mind, his hatred for DS Etta Fitzroy, rages on. She destroyed his last collection and took him into custody, and for that she will pay.

He starts to taunt her with clues. Jakey Frith, a 6 year-old with a devastating bone disorder, moved from London with his family for a fresh start. Unfortunately, the nightmares have followed Jakey, and now he is sure that he saw his nightmare come true outside his window.

Maybe if the bad man is here, so is Clara. Jakey is sure she is still alive, and intends to find her. Sixteen year-old Saul Anguish has had a rough life. He has been looking after his alcoholic mother since his abusive father is no longer around. He is also trying to get through school, keep his girlfriend happy, keep a part-time job, and put food on the table. Hard done-by, he seems perfect to Mr.

Silver, but Saul has a secret or two himself. DS Etta Fitzroy also has a secret. But when her instincts lead her to a seaside town to check out the case of a missing woman with a facial deformity, she finds her new partner to be a definite asset. My Opinions: First, you simply must read the first book in the series Rattle before attempting this one. These books are a bit disturbing, a bit creepy, and rather chilling.

In other words, my type of series! The author is definitely making a name for herself. This series is a mix of suspense, mystery, thriller and a touch of horror. It has everything you need. It is a fast read due to the non-stop action and suspense. The writing is great, the characters depth, the plot twisty, and this reader wants MORE! The story itself is quite original though; apparently this is the second novel of a series, a follow-up to Rattle.

Pitted against him is DS Etta Fitzroy, the woman who originally caught Howley, only for him to escape again. He continues killing and has someone picked out to carry on his legacy.

Just as in the first book, we see little of Fitzroy in the first pages. OK, Great work! The only thing I didn’t like was that there was so many short chapters and it kinda messed up the point.

I loved the plot and I am now officially scared of dolls so thank you for that. Highly recommenced. Good job! May 14, Ms. Yingling rated it liked it.

Right away, it is apparent that their grandmother’s descent into dementia was rapid; she had broken dishes and scrawled over every surface she could find. Anna is missing her grandmother terribly, because she feels that she is the only person who really understood her, and was sympathetic about Anna’s odd relationship with dolls.

Josie is beside herself, and just wants to leave. She keeps reminding Anna of the rules their grandmother had: No dolls, don’t open the windows, and don’t go into the woods. Anna thinks this is a bit ridiculous and doesn’t understand why her sister is so insistent.

As the family works to clean out the house, strange things begin to happen. Anna has visions of dolls appearing, attacking her, and calling her name, but doesn’t take any of it too seriously. When she finds a hidden room in the house where her grandmother left notes for her, she starts to feel that perhaps this is an issue that only she can put to rest.

Will Anna, with Josie’s help, be able to defeat the force that has wielded such power over her family? Strengths: This creepy cover will immediately appeal to readers who like creepy doll books like Bell’s Frozen Charlotte, and the fact that it is a sequel will guarantee that readers will pick it up.

This was definitely creepy, and had the added element of a mystery that needed to be solved. Weaknesses: I liked the first book, but this was rather repetitive. This author has been writing a lot of really fantastic horror books lately, but this one just felt a bit rushed. What I really think: Will probably purchase, but was vaguely disappointed.

I hadn’t even read the first book in The Collector series, so everything should have been a deliciously creepy surprise. This is where it fell flat. It was just Super repetitive. Anna is annoying and makes really stupid decisions.

It was hard to root for her to survive. Am I allowed to say that about a young girl in a middle grade book? There were some good atmospheric descriptions, but it wasn’t enough to save the story. Will my daughter like it? Did I think it compared to Follow Me? Nov 16, Amber Martin rated it liked it. The Collected takes place 5 years after the events of The Collector and is told from Anna’s point of view as opposed to her sister Josie’s in the first.

While not as fast paced as it’s predecessor it was decent. Anna has no real memories of what happened to them at their grandmother’s house all those years ago but Josie never forgot and is constantly on edge. While she doesn’t understand what is going on with her sister she knows there is something she should be remembering but can’t. That is un The Collected takes place 5 years after the events of The Collector and is told from Anna’s point of view as opposed to her sister Josie’s in the first.

That is until strange laughter is heard from the woods all over again. Beryl is back and this time it’s Anna’s turn to save the people she loves. Much more like her grandmother then she would ever know, only she has the power to stop the evil in the woods. I didn’t find this to be as well written, and there was an overuse of the term “once and for all”, but I am glad Alexander wrote a follow up. Beryl was written in such a descriptive way that she creeped me out and cemented the fact that my life long hate for porcelain dolls is there for good reason.

Dec 08, Andrea rated it it was amazing. When my parents saw the cover of this book, they were a little iffy, about whether or not it was appropriate for my age. Even if I am in eighth grade.

Even so I was able to convince them, and was able to read the book. It is quite interesting how Ana can tell dolls play back when she is around, but when Beryl appeared I was so shocked because I though she was dead since that’s what the first book had stated. In conclusion, great read for children, and a very gripping boo When my parents saw the cover of this book, they were a little iffy, about whether or not it was appropriate for my age.

In conclusion, great read for children, and a very gripping book. Mar 03, Owen rated it liked it. I like the intensity and suspension that I got from reading this book.

It was also an easy read! Chapters were short and it was easy to understand. It can sometimes be kind off hard starting a book but this book was different, it grabbed my attention from the beginning. I would recommend this book to probably year olds. Nov 21, Sara Edwards rated it liked it Shelves: , reading-with-j.

Overall, the story is entertaining. My complaints really lie with the fact it took a long time to move forward in the story and there was a lot of repetition.

I think that is a good book for its intended age group, but I would have liked some changes in pacing as well as some additional details that would have further tied us to the family. Mar 20, Destiny Little rated it liked it. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. The bad thing about this story is that you forget about how much Josie loved her sister and why she saved her in the first place.

Not only that but you never find out beryls obsession with Josie even in the 2nd book she just wants Josie and it never says why. You also don’t find out what happened with victoria and why she got turned into a doll in the first place.

It left enough open for a 3rd book but I don’t see why it was needed. My 9 year old found another of this author’s books at a book fair, so I read this one, wanting to see how scary it was. While the story is interesting and the doll coming to life chilling, the fact that the main character is a witch is, frankly, a disappointment.

Anna, the main character, is marginalized by her mother and verbally abused by her older sister. This is definitely not a book I would pick for my 9 year old to read. Jan 25, Kristyn Hand rated it it was amazing.

My favorite genre is horror and even though it wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be, it was still spooky and gives you some goosebumps on the arms. May 10, Katie rated it liked it. Read this for my fifth grade class because they wanted a scary story.

Definitely kept them intrigued, but even they thought the plot got repetitive and the main character lacking some common sense. Jun 06, James rated it did not like it. Josie is just mean to her sister for no reason?? The Collected takes place five years after book 1, The Collector. Told from the younger sister Anna’s POV, we once again find ourselves surrounded by creepy dolls in the woods while under attack from Beryl.

I like that in this installment we find out more about Anna and the secrets buried in her mind. While not as scary as the first book in the series, I still enjoyed the creepy mind of K. The character Beryl is a spooktacular villain who reminds me of the witch from the movie Darkness Falls. Mar 25, Ms. McCarthy’s class rated it it was amazing.

I chose this book because I love scary books and this just caught my eye. I thought this book was really good because I feel like I’m there when I read this book. My favorite part is when she feels like something is watching her and then she gets kidnapped by dolls. You should read this book because you can go on so many adventures.

This book, from the use of words and dialogue to the very art cover, a lot remind me of a story I once wrote and was very proud of – in the 5th grade!

I didn’t find it nearly as good as the first. It is told by a different point of view than the first. At certain parts, I had no idea what was going on. I kind of just had to follow along.
