He abducts young women because he is looking for that special someone to love. When it turns out that these ladies don't love him, either by trying to run away or breaking his rules, he kills them and looks for his next "girlfriend." The whole thing reminds me of the movie, Kiss the Girls, only this is for young adult audiences; they both have killers looking for women that they can fall in love with. Violet and her team are on the case, helping the cops stop this guy before he kills again. The other team members look for psychic clues and Violet helps the police find the bodies of the girls that he has discarded. When Violet gets too close to finding the murderer, the collector decides that she might be the one; the special one that he has been searching for. Can Violet make it through the whole ordeal alive and unscathed? Or will the collector be the last person she sees before she dies? The whole thing is very suspenseful and, there towards the end, I had a hard time putting down the book.<br /><br />The book ends with Violet being threatened by the unlikeliest of people. Even though she has no desire to continue being a part of the team, it seems that the people in charge of them are no longer giving her the option of leaving. They don't have any problems with threatening the lives of the people Violet loves if that's what it takes to get her to continue to use her gifts for them. What will become of Violet now?Eestihttp://socialconditioning.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
