My Review: I read and LOVED Rattle in December 2016 – (see my review here) so I was very excited to find out there was a sequel published in January 2018. My only regret is not reading it sooner.
The Collector is the sequel to Rattle and in my opinion it probably won’t work as a standalone and therefore would strongly recommend reading Rattle first.
Once again this is a really disturbing and thoroughly gruesome story about a serial killer targeting young children with bone disorders, disfigurements and disabilities. I was reading the book whilst having my nails done this morning and actually cringed and shivered so violently during a distressing scene that my nail technician thought she had injured me!
If you’ve read Rattle, then expect the same – chilling, gripping and disturbing, yet addictive and a brilliant sequel. Highly recommended.
