This book was provided to me as an ARC in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. The book begins slowly but then it takes off like a jet plane! The author writes with great emphasis on the oddities and horrific propensities of the main character that keeps you turning the pages to see what else can possibly be revealed. The length of the book was perfect. I enjoyed reading this author's work for the first time. ( )

This book was a struggle to get through. The dialogue was awkward and repetitive and the plot was disjointed and confusing. I feel that the author tried to employ shock value to keep interest in the book. The attempts to shock us with violence and depravity are actions and characters that are irrelevant to the story. The first half of the book sets up Fatima and their studio as a villain only to kill them off and have the Collector be the actual villain. This book was a jarring and bumpy ride. ( )
