The Doll Collector by Joanna Stephen-Ward #Review
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Book
Murders that look like accidents. An accident that looks like murder.
A couple and their young son burn to death in a house fire.
A girl dies from a nut allergy.
A woman falls under a train during the rush hour.
An accountant falls down the steps to his basement.
Their deaths appear to be accidents but Gloria knows they were murdered because she murdered them. And every time Gloria kills she buys a doll.
But how many dolls will she need to keep her satisfied?
When Gloria takes a room as a lodger her behaviour starts to spin out of control. Gloria wants love and happiness and friendship and she will do anything she can to get what she wants...
My Thoughts
Don't you just love it when you find a new author to read?! Well I certainly do. After seeing the cover and title for this book I couldn't wait to read it. In fact it sold it to me straight away, I then read the blurb… which isn't like me at all. That was it for me.... this book jumped straight to the top of my pile. I sure as hell did not regret it either.This book is just WOW I freaking loved it.
I love the fact that we know that Gloria is the killer, who I might add is totally off her tree. Very, very twisted to say the least. Anyone that upsets her she kills them then adds a doll to her collection….How twisted can you get?! She is a character that you will not like, but that's the whole idea of this story and that’s what made me like it even more.
The Doll Collector is one hell of a creepy read that is sure to give you goosebumps. The author has got one hell of an imagination, read it for yourself to find out what I mean.
Once I started this I couldn't put it down the more I read the more I wanted to know where the story was going…. I was totally hooked. And OMG I wasn't expecting that.
This is a brilliant read which I highly recommend
