The Collector by Vi Carter

Vi Carter created a mood in THE COLLECTOR that grips the reader from the first paragraph.  I’ve read a lot of dark mafia romances, but this is the first one with a “collector” and just that role creates a menacing air.  Then putting the character of Nicholai in that role adds to the darkness.

What I really felt in this book was Nicholai as a lone wolf.  He was attached to no one.  People that knew him, knew that things weren’t good if he showed up.  Even so he collects Mila as instructed, but shows that although he often kills people and gets rid of their bodies for a living, he’s not really a mean person.  

Mila knows too much.  She knows what it means when The Collector comes but she is strong and spirited.  She doesn’t sit and accept her fate.

This book is really mesmerizing in the way The Collector has his routine, then has it disrupted by Mila.  I loved the whole story - even the “wet work”, but especially how the romance developed.  Read it!
