De: Heather Lyons

Narrado por: Gemma Dawson

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. 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?

Intriguing Premise!

I love the concept of this book! It's different and makes for a very interesting listen. The characters are endearing and I enjoyed every moment of getting to know them. There's enough action and bits of romance in there to keep everyone happy.

The narrator is excellent! Her American accents feel a little forced, but I quickly got used to them and enjoyed her portrayal immensely.

This book is filled with adventure, romance, and mysterious plots. I can't wait to dive into the rest of the books. Once you start this book you won't be able to stop, enjoy!

even better than the first time

If you could sum up The Collectors' Society in three words, what would they be?

exciting, enigmatic, and energetic

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alice, always Alice. Alice in Wonderland is my all time favorite book, which is how I stumbled upon this series in the first place. To imagine a grown up Alice, living a life as a Queen should makes me happy that the author did her justice and didn't turn her into some lovesick fool.

Which character – as performed by Gemma Dawson – was your favorite?

I had a voice in my head of what Alice sounded like. She wasn't too feminine or too butch, somewhere in the middle. A strong woman. Gemma hit the mark for me, pretty close to what I envisioned.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The beginning where Alice is in a mental institute. What if all the adventures we had were but trappings in our minds. Wouldn't we all end up here?
