THE SOUL COLLECTORS
Now available! By the time you read this, chances are I'll be either missing or dead. Whatever you do, don't come looking for me. Making people disappear is what they do best. They're experts at hiding things: the living and the dead. The truth. This is what I know for sure. They'e known to strike in daylight but more often they wait for darkness, like vampires. They work in pairs. If they come for me—no, not if, it's a matter of when—when they come for me, I'm sure they'll bring a small army. They won't kill me. They want to bring me back to that place they call home. It's where I belong, they say, to atone for my sins. You need to know everything that happened.

WATCH THE TRAILER
REVIEWS "The Soul Collectors by Chris Mooney is a dark and complex thriller, disturbing in parts; the book will scare, entertain and chill you to the core. I found the characters both enjoyable and believable; Darby the main heroine of the story is an attractive, intelligent woman and even though she has reached the age of 40 shows no signs of slowing down! Supported by an imaginative cast of supporting characters, Mooney has allowed Darby to take the lead without being overbearing—a clever balance. One thing is clear, the book will have you on the edge of your seat and if you do read this at the dead of night, make sure you have a good light on and all the doors and windows are locked! The prose will grip you and the violence will shock your very being. The "Soul Collectors" are brutally horrific, Mooney sparing no punches with his atmospheric encounters. A dark and often disturbing tale not to be missed—Highly recommended." —Milo's Rambles "For those with the constitution for it, particularly crime and thriller fans, The Soul Collectors is recommended. The plot moves at a swift but always engaging pace, the detail is deep without over-indulging pedants among the readership, and the human drama is arresting throughout... Mooney shows himself to be a fine writer and a deserving Edgar®-Award nominee." —BookGeeks.co.uk "A thriller that deserves its own genre: "Chiller"; The Soul Collectors is a deeply disturbing, morbidly fascinating, intensely absorbing and ultimately frighteningly realistic tale of extreme violence and the impact it has on the minds of both the perpetrator and the victim. A taut, tension-filled chiller that ensnares you and makes your mind grapple between fear, repulsion and a peculiar obsession to see the outcome; Mooney gives a masterclass of how to provide devilish shivers and blood-curdling thrills. There is an abundance of terrifying adjectives we could throw at this title and they'd all stick. Like being dropped 80 feet in 6 seconds; it will simply leave your heart in your mouth and your brain high on adrenaline. Superbly scary—and absolute must for thrill-seekers." —The Truth About Books "What a book! What an opening! If you like crime, mystery, gore and a female lead character who seems to have it all—including the looks of Angelina Jolie no less—except for a man, then this is the book for you. The book jumps straight into the action and the pace rarely slows so there's plenty of incentive to keep the pages turning, especially if you're a thriller lover like me. I found the characters likeable and believable and the plot a tad scary, just remaining on the cusp of believable... a fantastic read." —Robyn Bateman on books "A compelling story that will keep you up past your bedtime." —Karin Slaughter  |
