IT HERE! The book that I have been teasing you all with for
weeks is finally here. Now you all get to experience this amazing book for
yourselves, and believe me, you WILL want to experience it. If you haven’t read
my review of The Collectors’ Society yet then you can read it here: http://thehopelessreader.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-collectors-society-by-heather-lyons.html
Below is bundle of
goodness for you. So keep calm and read on, my lovelies, and get ready to
travel with Alice to Wonderland once again.
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?
Are you pumped to read this story yet? No? Well shame on
you. If that synopsis didn’t convince you that you need this book in your life
then maybe an excerpt of The Collectors’ Society will, hmmm?
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.”
