Enjoyable From Beginning To End

4.5 out of 5 stars

This is the first book of Eisler’s that I’ve read and I can tell you that it definitely will not be my last. I can’t tell if The Killer Collective is a continuation of any other series or if there are characters in this that were introduced in other novels – but I’m okay without knowing.  Eisler did a fantastic job describing each character and not leaving a new reader like me in the dark. 

Livia Lone might be one of the best characters I’ve read in a long time.  She has a fascinating backstory that Eisler gave to us like an IV drip.  I knew that things happened to her but we find out about them drop by slow drop to the point where I realized quickly that her backstory was going to be just as fascinating of a story as the full story arc.

The story itself dragged me in within the first few minutes of this audiobook.  I was absolutely hooked. I have a friend who works a similar job to Livia and within the first hour of the book I’d already reached out and told her that she needed to check this book out.

I realized while writing this out that I couldn’t really dive into a lot of the specifics since Eisler does a great job in weaving intricacies into the story without making them feel like they are important but later you find out that they are.

Overall, a fun as hell read that I absolutely flew through.  Just know if you enjoy big, bold, action-packed thrillers – The Killer Collective will be right up your alley. Eisler wasn’t high on my list before (my fault) but he is now.  I love that he narrates his own books – he has a great voice and is able to add in some detail and character traits into his readings that another narrator would miss.
