Goodreads Synopsis:

Just how far will a grieving mother go to right a tragic wrong?

Camille Gardner is a grieving—and angry—mother who, five years after her daughter’s death, is still obsessed with the privileged young man she believes to be responsible.

When her rash actions attract the attention of a secret group of women—the collective— Camille is drawn into a dark web where these mothers share their wildly different stories of loss as well as their desire for justice in a world where privilege denies accountability and perpetrators emerge unscathed. Fueled by mutual rage, these women orchestrate their own brand of justice through precise, anonymous, complexly plotted and perfectly executed revenge killings, with individual members completing a specific and integral task in each plan.

As Camille struggles to comprehend whether this is a role-playing exercise or terrifying reality, she must decide if these women are truly avenging angels or monsters. Becoming more deeply enmeshed in the group, Camille learns truths about the collective—and about herself—that she may not be able to survive.

MY THOUGHTS:

This book is totally worth the hype! It’s filled with jaw dropping moments, ethical dilemmas, and heart pounding twists.

Early on, I got vibes similar to The Chain by Adrian McKinty and if you enjoyed that book, you MUST pick up The Collective!

I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough and this is one of the few books that I was willing to lose sleep over because I just couldn’t put it down! It’s one I will definitely be recommending to friends and family and is perfect for people trying to get back into reading because the pace is nonstop, the content is just over the top enough, and the execution is flawless.

If you’re looking for a book that you can’t put down and will really make you think, pick this one up now!!
