The Collector

Emergence, Book 1

By: Kelly Lynn Colby

Narrated by: Brianna Roberts

When the cocoon becomes too tight, the next step is emergence.

Fauna Young owns a small computer repair shop. She lives in a townhouse downtown. She loves to dance with her two best friends in city clubs. From the outside, Fauna’s life looks like any other young professional’s in bustling Houston.

On the inside, Fauna hides a secret. She can read people’s emotions as well as intense memories impressed on everyday objects. She calls it her curse, and she’s never found anyone else like her. Until Fauna uncovers a statue pieced together with multiple impressions. Hopeful that she’s finally found someone like her, Fauna tracks down the artist, only to find his mutilated corpse.

With a serial killer on the loose targeting people like her, Fauna might have ended her solidarity, only to cut her life short. Now, she must work with a skeptical homicide detective to catch the madman before she becomes the next victim.

A Must-Listen

I absolutely loved this book. I could easily understand and relate to the supernatural elements and they blended perfectly into the modern setting. The story was exciting but not overly complex and kept me wanting more. This is thanks in large part to the brilliant narration by Brianna Roberts. I've been a fan of her work for a while and this is by far some of her best. The story and narration combine perfectly and draw you in in a way that makes you feel like you're there. I was laughing and hurting right along with Fauna as I listened. I will definitely be getting the next book once it comes out.

Couldn't pause it... listened straight through

This book kept me engaged to the last page!! Can't wait for the next books!

Great Story and Great Narration

The story was intriguing and the narration was great! I listened to the whole thing over just a couple of days!

Imagine having the gift/curse of psychometry.

Imagine having the gift/curse of psychometry. Touching something and feeling another person's emotions and possible thoughts. Yeah, I don't wanna.

This was a great, thoughtful book. Not only did she write a great compelling story. She put thought in so many details that make it something you can almost feel. Kelly is a great author.

interesting main character.

This story about a woman with special abilities starts a little slow, but it catches up with action and connections that kept me reading. The slow start is understandable because this is the first book in a series.

The story came to life.

This book was intriguing and different from other books I’ve read/listened to. It took me a while to listen to the first half, but once I got about half way through, I couldn’t stop listening! The story kept escalating and I had to know what happened next, the narration was amazing and really made the story come to life.

This story was narrated by Brianna Roberts and she did a fantastic job! She brought each character to life and I was able to easily visualize the different personalities. With each person having their own voice/accent allowed me to know who was talking and play the whole book in my mind like a movie. It was amazing!
