The other is a deranged groupie who corresponded with Bundy in prison--and raised her son to finish what Bundy started. To charm and seduce innocent girls. To kidnap and brutalize more women than any serial killer in history. And to lure one obsessed cop into a trap as sick and demented as Bundy himself. . .

My Review
Fear Collector is the first book I have read by Gregg Olsen. I have always been told to read his books, because they are fantastic. Let me tell you one thing...they were definitely right. This book did not disappoint me at all. Fear Collector is well written and well thought out. I was so enthralled with the story that I couldn't believe how much time slipped by. I just couldn't put it down. The world building was well crafted and set up very nicely. I was able to picture everything going on in the story. I felt as if I was there and I loved that about this book.
I also loved how this book switched POVs. Usually I don't like that if there are several, but it worked fir this book. I don't even have words on how I felt being in the head of the serial killer. It was very scary and unlike anything I have read before. The great thing about switching the POVs in this story was that I got the little extra inside scoop on how the characters really felt. I love being inside their heads experiencing everything with them.
Fear Collector scared me to death. I Haven't been able to sleep very well since I read this book. I constantly want to keep my lights on, because it always in the back of my head. The chill factor was definitely there. It continued to get even creepier throughout the story. I couldn't put it down though. I had to know what was going on and how it would end.
This book had so many twists and turns in it that it left me shell shocked. I couldn't believe some of the stuff that happened. I just found out that this was a standalone. I wish it wasn't. Fear Collector definitely left me wanting more. Once I started this book, I didn't want to put it down. Gregg Olsen's writing is impeccable and it just captured my attention. After reading this book, I definitely want to check out his other books. This is a must read everyone!!!!
