Book Review- The Collector by K.R. Alexander

I picked up The Collector randomly in the library because the cover caught my attention. I hadn't read a horror book in a while and figured, why not? Seeing a doll on the cover, the obvious thing that came to mind was Annabelle. So, I was glad that the book turned out not to be an Annabelle copycat. It had it's own simple story that kept me intrigued to see how it would end. The book definitely reminded me of the horror movies of today in terms of the formula and pacing Alexander followed, and I could easily see this being adapted, even if it was just for Disney channel or Netflix. The characters were all general horror stereotypes, nothing that amazed me. This isn't a dig, though. Like I pointed out earlier, the book is simple, as it is middle grade. It's easy to follow and enjoy quickly. The book's ending was decent enough, again nothing special.
Overall, I give the book 4 out of 5 stars. While it wasn't anything groundbreaking, I was really entertained throughout reading it. So, that earns The Collector its grade.
