The Collected The Collector 2 by K. From horror superstar K. Something horrible happened to Josie — something so horrible she won’t talk about it. But when the horror returns for her little sister, Anna, she’s back in the battle against a fearsome force that manifests in diabolically deadly dolls. It’s been five years since Josie squared off against the evil Beryl and her killer haunted dol From horror superstar K. It’s been five years since Josie squared off against the evil Beryl and her killer haunted dolls.

She hasn’t talked about it since, and likes to pretend it didn’t happen. Too bad she didn’t tell her younger sister, Anna. Because Anna is now the one being drawn in to the evil — and the evil has some new tricks this time. Get A Copy. Paperback , pages. Published September 1st by Scholastic Inc.

The whole house in the woods combined with the creepy doll setting really makes this a spooky read. While not as good as the first book The Collector, it was still great to go back to this world and get more from it. These are rare as I usually just don’t finish any book I dislike this much. Again usually DNF if I dislike it this much, but occasionally I feel it still has potential and I try to stick with I really enjoyed this.

Again usually DNF if I dislike it this much, but occasionally I feel it still has potential and I try to stick with it to the end. It wasn’t great but it was enjoyable enough. It is unlikely I’ll ever reread it but I might finish the series if it is a part of one. Maybe not a work of genius, but highly entertaining.

I might reread this at some point, and I will almost always finish the series if part of one. I found little to no issues with it at all. I will probably reread this and possibly more than once. I will definitely finish the series if it’s part of one. Apr 01, Mercedes Yardley rated it really liked it. The Collected is a spooky Middlegrade book about dolls that scrabble around the hallway at night. It’s deliciously spooky for little ones without being truly scary, although I read it with my daughter during the daylight hours only.

I’d suggest this to anyone who loved the book Wait Til Helen Comes. Feb 17, Tay Orton rated it it was ok. Not nearly as great as the first one. Hoping my students like it a lot more than I did. View 1 comment.

Oct 26, Robbie Myles rated it really liked it. The follow up to The Collector did not disappoint! This sequel follows the events that transpired in The Collector and is told from the perspective of Josie’s sister, Anna. In a whirlwind, Anna has seemingly forgotten all that took place with the evil spirit, Beryl. The dolls, the house in the woods, all of it remains a blur to Anna. Slowly, she starts uncovering the heinous events that went down at the creepy house in the woods.

Anna becomes increasingly alarmed, but at the same time has to push The follow up to The Collector did not disappoint!

Anna becomes increasingly alarmed, but at the same time has to push back her own inner hunger for power. Her own desire to be something else entirely, something she’s never been before. Anna is faced with personal anguish throughout the book and eventually has to battle her own inner demons in order to save her family and the world.

Just like the first book, K. I had a ton of fun with this Scholastic darling and will totally be reading more from the author. Jan 22, Kelly Starnes rated it it was ok Shelves: children-s.

I did not care for the writing style or the plot of the whole book, really. Jan 18, Jana rated it it was amazing Shelves: mystery , ya-books. I can see what all the hype is about this author a very good YA thriller me and my daughter will definitely be reading more by him!

Jan 14, Abigail rated it really liked it. OK, Great work! The only thing I didn’t like was that there was so many short chapters and it kinda messed up the point. I loved the plot and I am now officially scared of dolls so thank you for that. Highly recommenced. Good job! May 14, Ms. Yingling rated it liked it. E ARC provided by Edelweiss Plus Even though she doesn’t remember the travails of her older sister, Josie, in The Collector five years ago, Anna does have a vague awareness that dolls act differently when she is around them.

While her friends play with dolls, Anna has noticed that with her, the dolls play back. When their grandmother dies, both girls leave the city with their mother to clean out their grandmother’s house. Right away, it is apparent that their grandmother’s descent into dementia w E ARC provided by Edelweiss Plus Even though she doesn’t remember the travails of her older sister, Josie, in The Collector five years ago, Anna does have a vague awareness that dolls act differently when she is around them.

Right away, it is apparent that their grandmother’s descent into dementia was rapid; she had broken dishes and scrawled over every surface she could find. Anna is missing her grandmother terribly, because she feels that she is the only person who really understood her, and was sympathetic about Anna’s odd relationship with dolls.

Josie is beside herself, and just wants to leave. She keeps reminding Anna of the rules their grandmother had: No dolls, don’t open the windows, and don’t go into the woods. Anna thinks this is a bit ridiculous and doesn’t understand why her sister is so insistent.

As the family works to clean out the house, strange things begin to happen. Anna has visions of dolls appearing, attacking her, and calling her name, but doesn’t take any of it too seriously. When she finds a hidden room in the house where her grandmother left notes for her, she starts to feel that perhaps this is an issue that only she can put to rest.

Will Anna, with Josie’s help, be able to defeat the force that has wielded such power over her family? Strengths: This creepy cover will immediately appeal to readers who like creepy doll books like Bell’s Frozen Charlotte, and the fact that it is a sequel will guarantee that readers will pick it up. This was definitely creepy, and had the added element of a mystery that needed to be solved. Weaknesses: I liked the first book, but this was rather repetitive. This author has been writing a lot of really fantastic horror books lately, but this one just felt a bit rushed.

What I really think: Will probably purchase, but was vaguely disappointed. May 17, Natalie rated it it was ok Shelves: middle-grade. My daughter brought this home from the book fair. She made sure to comment what slim pickens she may have used “cooler” words here there were this time around. Alexander and thought I’d skim through this one. This was not nearly as creepy as I had hoped.

There are few things creepier than creepy dolls. I hadn’t even read the first book in The Collector series, so everything My daughter brought this home from the book fair. I hadn’t even read the first book in The Collector series, so everything should have been a deliciously creepy surprise. This is where it fell flat. It was just Super repetitive. Anna is annoying and makes really stupid decisions. It was hard to root for her to survive.

Am I allowed to say that about a young girl in a middle grade book? There were some good atmospheric descriptions, but it wasn’t enough to save the story.

Will my daughter like it? Did I think it compared to Follow Me? Nov 16, Amber Martin rated it liked it.
