4.0
The Collective written by Alison Gaylin
PUB DATE: Nov 2, 2021
This is an additive, fast-paced psych killer, I mean thriller! At the heart of this book is what grief can do to a desperate mother & at what lengths she will go through to rectify & exact vengeance.
For the past 5 years, Camille Gardner has been heavily grieving her 15-yo daughter’s tragic death. She’s lost everything and barely holding on and she’s obsessed with the privileged young man who is responsible for her daughters’ murder & his family who enabled him all these years. She has not been able to move on – she refuses to move on. All she ever wanted was to destroy him the way he & his family has destroyed her & her family.
Then, she gets invited to join a cult-like role-playing secret group of women called “The Collective” on the dark web where mothers share violent scenarios of how their child’s killer will die & the perpetrators are held accountable for their actions. They all have a role in the well-orchestrated complex plots & Camille becomes deeply enmeshed & it actually makes her feel better…but are they only games? Definitely a twisted and dark story of mob mentality, deception, lies & the desire for revenge.
