Lucien, a billionaire art dealer is tasked -- by the Devil - with the recovery of a forbidden artifact stolen centuries ago by a rebelious Gatekeeper. Curious, he wants to know more and may found the task challenging, but the dangerous pathway to Hell may threaten the hierarchies and provoke loyalties.
The Collector by Rae Devine is dark, may belong to the paranormal genre while adding some spicy romance to the already packed plot. Paranormal isn´t my genre, but I´ve found the combination literarily attractive and Devine´s writing kept me engaged from the very beginning. There is a lot of ´sin and shadow´ into this story, but the ambiance is skillfully built. An important element in the plot are the detailed descriptions creating perceptive environments so important for the paranormal genre.
The book is relatively short and it can be easily read in one sitting. This was my reading choice, and it was very helpful to keep a fast track of the characters and the very action-packed story.
A special word of appreciation of the cover, with both lettering and the images are in a tensed sync.
Rating: 3.5 stars
