THE
COLLECTORS’ SOCIETY Synopsis:
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?
“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.”
Heather Lyons has always had a thing for words—She’s been writing stories since she was a kid. In addition to writing, she’s also been an archaeologist and a teacher. Heather is a rabid music fan, as evidenced by her (mostly) music-centric blog, and she’s married to an even larger music snob. They’re happily raising three kids who are mini music fiends who love to read and be read to.
