I got an arc of books 7-9, so I started here
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. At first I was underwhelmed by yet another book about haunted objects. But I really got into the storyline. I'm loving the characters. This book has a bit of a twist of a storyline that flows well. What I really liked were the few scenes of gore. This book has a good balance between ghosts and blood!
So long story short, a guy mad at his dead parents is selling off their haunted object collection, knowing it will lead to the buyer's death. It's an interesting story to follow.

It's not badly written and would make interesting TV show but... it's not remotely scary. IT's like supernatural TV show really.

I was drawn to this book because of the premise. What with the Annabelle and Chucky movie series the concept of possessed dolls has grown. I will tell you that you may not look at a teddy bear the same way again after this book. I was really digging this book for the first third of the story. After this, my excitement dissipated. This is because the "horror" aspect of the story did not make the hairs on my arms stand up. In addition, there were a bunch of characters and none that I really was attached to. Therefore, between the combination of these two factors, this book is just "so, so". There are times that I would read parts of the story just for moments later for me to forget what I just read. Sadly, this book was lost on me in the "horror" department.

Loved the idea of haunted objects and what they could do. I can see this becoming a really good series. Very well written and easy to follow. Can't wait for the next instalment.

This book was provided to me free of charge, and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
I was pleasantly surprised by Collecting Death. I was drawn in from page one, and didn't want to put it down. The characters weren't as fully fleshed out as they could have been, but they were interesting and compelling. The story line itself was disturbing in a way that I like to be disturbed. Objects that are supposed to be inanimate suddenly becoming animate is almost as frightening to me as evil children. I will read more of Ron Ripley's work.
