The Collector is the second book in The Seven Gates series by author Rae Devine.
Dark. Addictive. Exquisitely cruel.
Winter settles over the club of shadows, and with it comes The Collector.
Lucien Vale – billionaire art dealer, hunter and thief of beautiful, broken things – once sold his soul for power. Now the Devil commands him to retrieve a forbidden artefact stolen centuries ago by a Gatekeeper who dared to defy Hell.
The trail leads to Eighth Gate, ruled by the Devil’s bride.
Bella Blackwood. Gatekeeper. Queen of the Damned.
A woman whose darkness answers his own.
Lucien enters out of curiosity.
He stays for obsession.
But the underworld has rules, and Bella enforces them without mercy. No mortal man touches what belongs to Hell.
As loyalty deepens and desire blurs into something more dangerous, the artefact’s truth threatens to fracture the fragile hierarchy of the Gates. To claim it would mean stealing her soul. To deliver it would mean surrendering his own.
And when Lucien makes his choice, the Devil answers with consequences far more intoxicating than redemption.

The Collector is an intense novella. The world-building Rae has accomplished is phenomenal; you are immediately drawn into the dark and intriguing world she has created.
It brilliantly blends the paranormal elements with all the spice a reader could want, while still making Bella and Lucien two characters with many interesting layers and lots of depth. And who have chemistry with each other that feels like it will jump off the page.
This is one to read if you enjoy dark romances and are looking for something quick to read, as it’s a novella, so it may be shorter than a novel, but still packs a punch.
