Shelves: science-fiction

4.5 (Rounded up because I love SKQ’s writing).

So, here we are, Season 2: Meet Wraith.

She stalks the bedrooms of the rich and famous, stealing back the life energy they’ve bought, so she can give it to those who need it. She hates what she is, and like Lirium (from the first season) she struggles to balance the good and bad, while lying to her friends and colleagues.

When her father is killed, she’s out for payback on the debt collector who killed him. Then she meets a debt collector working for ...more

It's done... the second season is over and I'm sad. I waited until the entire season was complete before I started it because I knew I just could not wait between episodes. And while I'm sad it's done, I am so happy with these stories.

I don't usually write reviews, I'm not a writer and I never know what to say about the books I read. I just know if I like them or not (or maybe LOVE them). These stories fall into the "love" category. I won't give a synopsis. If you're reading this you already kno ...more

Shelves: science-fiction, dystopian

This was a wild and crazy ride from start to finish. I started off a bit skeptical when the plot of the story started to develop but the author really managed to develop a good story here and lay the groundwork for the future seasons.

While reading the first season is recommended it isn't entirely necessary to enjoying this sequel.

Now to the story.

Wraith is a great main character and easy to like. Despite having the same abilities as official Debt Collectors she has very mixed feelings about the ...more

I received copies of the individual episodes in exchange for an honest review. As I read all episodes, I wanted to review the season as a whole.

I read both season 1 and 2 episode by episode and I just have to say that Susan can really pull of the episodic format. Each episode has enough story, lots of things happening and best of all no cliffhanger endings. The story is fast paced, with lots of story and events happening.

Beside that there's a great world and interesting characters. I would recommend the Debt Collector series to everyone who loves a good sci-fi/ urban fantasy series.

Season 2 has a different main character then season 2, while that might sound weird, it totally worked. I loved Wraith as a main character as much as Lirium of season 1. Wraith was a great character and it's amazing to see how much she grows throughout the season, she learns so much about herself and other people and I loved who she became at the end. She has to do a lot of difficult and hard things, but she does them for the right reasons and at the end she has what she needs to fight back and she does. Just like Lirium she might be an anti-hero, but she has her heart in the right place and she does things for good reasons. She is a complex and interesting character and I enjoyed reading about her this season.

The side characters are interesting as well, although some really had me doubting about their loyalty for a long time. It's often unclear who's on Wraith her side and who not and it really kept me guessing up till the last episode concerning some characters. And with most characters it's not black and white, they have their motives and sometimes they don't have a choice or they actually do things for the right reasons even if they are bad things. It makes for complex and interesting characters.

There is some romance in this season and some sex, but it's not the focus of the story at all. It's more like a side plot that advances a little bit in every episode. There are two potential love interests and it even get's to a point were it feels a bit like a love triangle and while for one of the love interest there isn't really a happy ending I did like how it all worked out. It didn't feel like Wraith had to choice, it just worked out.

There are some cameo appearances of Lirium in this season and it was fun to see him again and how his story tied into Wraith's story. There was even a side characters from season 1 that played a part here again and I think he might be even more important in later seasons. Parts of Lirium and Wraith their stories have some similarities, both are anti-hero character and both learn some of the same things and land in a similar situation. But while there are some parallels, season 2 still adds new things and is a fresh story while also building on the overarching story.

Season 2 adds a lot in terms of world building and I love how everything from season 1 ties in with this one and while you can read them as standalone I would recommend starting with season 1. This season again shows how dark the world is and the life energy trade and the unfair things that happen. It's also all about the same organization who's doing bad things and in this season it feels like we get a part of the bigger picture, things make more sense and fall in their place.

At the end of season 2 is a great ending, it wraps things up and ties up most of the lose threads surrounding Wraith, but it also leaves enough room for future seasons and some plot lines which are part of the bigger plot still remain. Some problems get solved, but it's more the small things, the bigger things are left till the end of the series.

To conclude: I loved season 2 of Debt Collector! It has a different main character than season 1, but I really enjoyed Wraith as a main character. It furthers the plot from the first season, while also introducing some new issues. I really like how these seasons tie into each other, while still feeling a bit separate at well. Susan does the episodic format really well and this is a great series! can't wait for the next season! ...more

I was a skeptic for the serial format--until I tried it. Being a busy mom/worker bee/reader/writer/blogger etc I didn't think I could "waste" my time on a book that wasn't even CLOSE to done. Silly me. It turned out to be the perfect in-between read for me, for when I have 30-45 minutes of time that I want to read, but don't want to get sucked into a full-length novel. Plus, I always had a new episode to anticipate. Well, until now. Because Season Two is in the books.

Plus, I always had a new episode to anticipate. Well, until now. Because Season Two is in the books.

Alexa "Wraith" Sterling has lived a double-life too long. By day, she's the anti-life-energy activist owner of Sterling Cybernetics, fighting the good fight to end energy transfers from poor people to wealthy "high potentials"--essentially literally 'cashing them out' when their potential earnings outstrip their personal debts. It's a horrific new reality, and resulted in the the early demise of not only her mother, but her father as well.

So, anyone can understand why Alexa would want life energy transfers to cease, but Alexa's terrifying secret, that she was born adebt collector, is one she does not want to see the light of day. By night, Alexa dons the debt collecting persona of Wraith and preys upon people who illegally purchase life energy trades in order to enhance their youth, appearance, or just for a high. Wraith is a mean mama jamma, terrorizing the wealthy, life-stealers and paying out to sick kids---well, until she can't anymore.

And, definitely not once she falls on the radar of a fringe group of debt collectors, called Gehenna, who want to render themselves immortal by eternal collection of humans. By turns, Alexa is pressured, with life or death consequences, to undo the good work of her anti-debt collection non-profit, Lifetime. The Gehenna collectors, headed by Molloch, will get Alexa's compliance, or kill her--and all those she loves. Alexa find allies where she can, but she's continually choosing between bad and worse options, always a few steps behind the well-orchestrated plan to de-regulate life-energy transfers and create an open season for debt collectors to ascend into the role of demigods, essentially.

Throughout, Alexa seeks to save her loved ones, and herself, but mostly to shut down Gehenna and its criminal activity. Working within the Gehenna system isn't really feasible; the debt collectors don't trust her, and surviving each more harrowing experience in their captivity is a challenge even this high potential/debt collector is hard-pressed to manage. And, frankly, lots of other people would have simply walked.

Not Alexa. She's a warrior in corporate skirts. She may have been dealt a raw hand, but she bluffs and bets her way to the best victory she can. And, we're all the better for this maverick willing, not to buck the system, but to tear it all down if it means saving the world from Gehenna overlordship. If I were lost in a dystopian future, I'd want Alexa by my side.

There's a good bit of steam, and a love story, but mostly there is an amazing story of endurance and doing the right thing, even if it costs you everything. ...more

I have to go into this review advising anyone who is considering to read this series to read the seasons in sequential order. There are spoilers all along the way as the series progresses and the history of the Debt Collector world is much easier to consume when stories are read in chronological order.

There are spoilers all along the way as the series progresses and the history of the Debt Collector world is much easier to consume when stories are read in chronological order. This story is fast-paced, action packed and full of romance.
Season Two focuses on the life and adventures of Wraith, a badass, adrenaline fueled, female debt collector with a complicated family history who conceals the truth of her identity from just about everyone who knows and loves her. The reason why she does this becomes clear very early on in the story, when it is revealed that her family's mission goes against almost all that it means to be a debt collector.
Wraith's struggle to reconcile who she is with her lifelong mission is what drives this story arc, she is seeking to find ways to fulfill her need to collect life energy while finding ways to use her collecting ability to help the greater good. Wraith has a chance encounter with members of Gehenna, an illicit group of Debt Collectors intent on using the life energy transfer system to their own advantage and the chaos of season two unfolds from there.
The journey that Wraith takes will force her to act in ways that go against all of her beliefs in order to save herself, the people that matter most in her life and the legacy that her family has devoted decades of blood and sweat to build. She will question who she is and all that she knows in order to figure out how she can stop a plot that will risk thousands of lives while barely managing to hold onto her own life.
This series is a page turner that will make you feel every emotion on the spectrum as you read along. You will be hard pressed to do much else beside read it from cover to cover as soon as you read the first page. Susan does a terrific job of creating this intriguing, futuristic, dark world where your life always has a price, and danger lives all around. You will love this season and the entire series. Happy reading! ...more

Before starting this season, you really need to read all of Debt Collector Season One. There are many things that happen in Season Two that connect back to Season One. It will make Season Two more meaningful as you're reading through.

Season Two follows the life of Wraith, a debt collector that is conflicted about how to balance her personal and public lives. The story takes place in the same world introduced in Season One, but with a different perspective. In the public eye she is known as Alexa ...more

Addicted! That's what I am. I'm addicted to Susan Kaye Quinn's The Debt Collector series. I read Season One: Lirium a couple of years ago and have been biting my nails ever since, waiting for the release of Season Two: Wraith.

Wraith is the daughter of an anti-collector activist tycoon who was cashed out by a debt collector. But he never knew the truth about his own daughter: that she is a debt collector too. By skin-to-skin contact she can drain the life energy from one person and give it to ano ...more

Fascinating Serial

Quinn is a remarkable author. I’ve read almost everything she has written and the variety coupled with a consistently high standard of her words, plots and characters is astounding!

For this serial, read season one (Librium) first but you will certainly be drawn to read Wraith as well. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

I didn't like this season as much as season one. I liked Wraith, but I wasn't as attached to her as I was Lirium, but I think this mostly had to do with the plot, and especially the love triangle. I hate those so much, but as that's a personal preference, I hardly hold the author responsible--any author who uses one in their book is pretty much guaranteed to lose me. That aside, I also thought some of the plot was kind of implausible. I do like the direction the series as a whole seems to be hea ...more

The plot thickens, as they say, in the second Debt Collector season. Wraith is an intriguing character, complex and very human. She's a public figure, and that is not much of an advantage for her. I felt sorry for her, but by the end of the book she's developing a spine of steel. I enjoyed that this book provided more detail about the society that uses debt collectors and thinks that's a good thing. It's chilling, for sure.

Wraith was born with the ability to transfer life energy from one person to another. Unlike most collectors, she's been using her talent to steal from energy addicts and give to those in need.

Her world is torn asunder when her father is murdered by a debt collector. Wraith struggles to find balance between her collector activities and the corporate responsibilities of managing her father's tech business.

Like Lirium in season 1, Wraith is a dark protagonist haunted by her deeds as a collector. ...more

I like the author's note at the end talking about how hard it was to write a woman anti-hero because of the expectations we have for women characters. I felt like this thoughtfulness permeated the serial. It's not exceptional or mind-shattering, but it is good, fast-paced, and well-written.
