One, never leave your windows open after dark, even if it’s hot. Two, no dolls in the house. And three, never, ever go by the house in the woods. As always my reviews are based off of my true and honest opinion and I do my best to keep all reviews spoiler free. Sixth grader Josie and her little sister Annie along with there mom are leaving the city to move in with there grandmother in the country.

A choice that Josie isn’t to happy about. Josie’s grandmother always made it clear to stay out of the woods and about the three important rules to never break.

Josie isn’t sure how she feels about these rules, but there are strange noises coming from the woods at night, and some of those noises sounds like someone calling her name.

Soon Josie makes friends with fellow sixth grader Vanessa. She lives in the creepy old house by the woods, the one grandma warned her about. Complete with creepy old dolls. Between the rules, the house, the dolls, her dreams, and her friends suspicious behavior, Josie can feel that something is very wrong and she fears for her and her sister. This book was really good even considering it was meant for much younger than me. I started reading it at night and it is a quick read. Most adults could finish it in an hour or two.

Keeping in mind that I get spooked easily. I recommend reading this in the day. I started it at night right before bed and I got seriously spooked, but thats what was so great about it. I found it to be fast paced and really entertaining. Great for a quick scare. It reminded me a bit of Goosebumps and I like Goosebumps. The only real problem I had with it was it wasn’t really an original story. Lots of creepy dolls and a spooky woods, complete with a old superstitious grandmother.

However, even with the same old story it still held my attention and I truly enjoyed this book. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Want to Read saving…. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. Other editions.

Start your review of The Collector The Collector, 1. This book deserves a strong 3. Josie always liked it when she went it visit her grandmas house with her mom and little sister Anna. But when her little family was forced to move in, her life changed forever.

Her grandma has some very strange rules. Never leave your windows open after dark. No dolls in the house. Never, ever go by the house in the woods. For a middle grade novel it was quite creepy and eerie. Great Halloween read for anyone who wants a spooky but super easy book to re This book deserves a strong 3.

Great Halloween read for anyone who wants a spooky but super easy book to read. BUT with it being a middle grade novel it has little to no character structure, little to no detail, and is such a simple and easy read that it could easily be finished in no time at all. It’s also quite predictable. For a young reader or a very frightened reader I could see this book being a really scary read.

With that being said though I still really enjoyed it. That could just be because it has a certain character that has a certain ability that I absolutely LOVE in books But you’d have to read it yourself to find out what that is!

I loved that the author didn’t hold back and delivered a truly spine-chilling tale involving all the things from our nightmares. It was a bit rushed in places, but the mystery definitely made up for it. This is one book that horror enthusiasts shouldn’t miss! Jan 13, Amber J rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Ages Lovers of scary stories and quick reads.

I don’t think I read all of them, but I probably came impressively close.
