When "Raine" insists otherwise, however, he spies on King to affirm, and sees him planning something with Eda and Lilith, soon realizing the Clawthorne sisters want to imprison him again. At first, he sees King reject the idea of imprisonment, and regains his prior confidence, until he hears King aspire for a more "permanent solution". Unaware that King is referring to redeeming him, the Collector believes King is in favor of his imprisonment. Dejected from what he has seen, "Raine" then informs him that Luz and her companions have also returned, and shows him the group. Upon seeing this, the Collector decides to play a "new game". [9] Making new friends When Luz helps him and Eda escape the nightmare he has trapped them in, the Collector is worried King might hate him for it. He tries to make amends by playing with him and his friends, but after being beaten in all the games and explaining to Luz how everyone lied to him, including King, he claims that he doesn't care if King never considered him a friend, only caring that he found the last Titan and that he's his friend now, even if it's just through pretend. After venturing through the islands and demonstrating to the Collector how King, Eda, and Luz became friends, King realizes he was right all along and that the Collector is just a powerful yet misunderstood kid who only wanted friends and someone who would understand him. Eventually Miranda tries to last thing the thinks might free her: seducing Clegg. After a disastrous sexual encounter, Clegg loses all respect for her, revealing the extent of his neurotic mentality in the process. Yet he begins to force Miranda to pose for nude photographs for him; these offer the only sexual gratification he can experience. Soon, though, Miranda develops a cold which becomes a severe chest infection, probably pneumonia. Clegg refuses to get a doctor, fearing discovery, and Miranda's condition worsens. Clegg keeps repeating that what eventually happened to Miranda is not is fault. The Collector takes Hunter, Camila, Willow, Gus, and Amity away- turning them and Lilith into puppets- and traps Luz, Eda, and King in nightmares. However, Luz manages to free herself and shortly after, frees Eda and King as well. As he watches them reunite, he vents to “Raine” that their plan is not working. He reveals that King is a titan and that the Boiling Isles titan is still alive. “Raine” convinces him to play with the three and the Collector does so.

Alan Pryce-Jones of The New York Times wrote of the novel: "John Fowles is a very brave man. He has written a novel which depends for its effect on total acceptance by the reader. There is no room in it for the least hesitation, the smallest false note, for not only is it written in the first person singular, but its protagonist is a very special case indeed. Mr. Fowles's main skill is in his use of language. There is not a false note in his delineation of Fred." [14] Hayden Carruth of the Press & Sun-Bulletin praised the novel as "brisk" and "professional," adding that Fowles "knows how to evoke the oblique horror of innocence as well as the direct horror of knowledge." [2] At first, the Collector doesn't seem to think much of Luz, just as he does with any other mortal characters. However, two months after the Day of Unity, he knows much about her and her adventures through King, showing annoyance that he only allows Luz to hold Francois and mild anger when Belos informs him she's returned to the Demon Realm to stop him. These would imply that the Collector is jealous of Luz's relationship with King. [9]Clegg didn’t really plan anything bad and, until the very end, counted on the love of the kidnapped. He spent almost all his money on it, furnishing a room in the basement in the way that Miranda might like: books about art, elegant furniture, paintings, dresses ... The story involves intrigue, terror and some truly Bad Guys. Capital B! The assassin is a horrible person! Notably, the "collector" that imprisoned the Owl Beast seems different from the one later seen, appearing extremely tall with a crescent moon on their face, and a sadistic personality. This may imply that, despite being credited with the same name and voice actor, the collector who transformed the Owl Beast is another individual, given the two appear different from each other. The Collector, unknowingly being manipulated by Belos as he possesses Raine, watching Luz and her companions.

After Philip obtained the Collector's tablet, he made a deal with the Collector: If he helps Philip eliminate all life in the Demon Realm, then Philip will set him free. He showed him the Draining Spell, a spell that allows him to do just that. The Collector occasionally talked to him in secret. After years of scheming with him, Belos betrayed the Collector, using the Titan's Blood to return home instead of freeing him. Belos threw the tablet into the same pit where the Golden Guard corpses were stored. Although saying he’s not angry at Belos for dropping them in the pit after being released, the Collector nonetheless splatters him against a wall when playing a game of tag. Whew, for a moment there I thought I was right – but no, I am not!!! Thinking that this book had been written by some other author!!!! Crazy right???? But as a more than rabid fan of NORA ROBERTS, from reading her first book many years ago, I have become very familiar with her writing style, plots, characters, etc….and for me, THE COLLECTOR just did not make me feel or think it could possibly be a NR book. a b Carruth, Hayden (22 September 1963).

Clairvoyance: The Collector can enhance his own eyes to view great distances or cover his eyes with his nightcap to observe other places outside his field of view. The Collector forces Luz, Eda, and King to play his favorite games, unknowingly endangering their lives, but becomes frustrated when he’s beaten in all of them. Upset, he starts to cry and reveals to Luz how he was imprisoned in the first place and reveals that every friend he had has lied to and betrayed him. In an attempt to get him to see the error of his ways, Luz, Eda, and King takes him on a tour of places that helped them bond. At The Owl House, they explain how they grew close. At the Grudgby field at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics, he sees students hiding behind the bleachers and tried to befriend them, but they run away in fear.

When professional house-sitter Lila Emerson witnesses a murder/suicide from her current apartment-sitting job, life as she knows it takes a dramatic turn.

King once more hears the Collector's thoughts; he is talking to himself and expressing doubt that Belos will uphold his end of the bargain. The Collector desperately tries to convince himself that the Emperor is his friend, but notes that the two of them have spent centuries "playing [Belos'] game", and angrily states he wants to play a new game. [8] Starting a new game Ugh! I hated the main characters with a passion! The females were sooo superficial (gotta buy tons of shoes while in Italy! I should have bought that purse/bag when I had a chance). GAG me. Lila Emerson, professional house-sitter to the well-heeled crowd and an up and coming author of YA werewolves pnr books, witnesses a woman being pushed out of a window that she had been “spying” on..oops, sorry she does it her books research….with binoculars. When Lila Emerson an unsuspecting writer and professional house sitter, is a witness to the brutal murder of a man and woman in a high rise across from where she is staying, she is pulled into a whirlwind of the upper echelon of a family dynasty. As the police end up at a dead end and then there is another torturous murder in the same family, she is approached by Ash Archer, the elder brother one of the decedents for some answers.

With the police investigating, the simple verdict suddenly wasn’t what it had initially seemed – Ashley Archer, a handsome artist, was involved in some way and Lila found herself telling him, a complete stranger, what she had seen. Her best friend Julie vaguely knew Ashley but Lila suddenly found herself in a danger so immense, so terrifying that her previous self-defence skills, taught to her by her father, a retired Lieutenant Colonel could well be needed. But would they be enough against a crazed and evil killer?The characters are so uninteresting, boring and bland. Lila and her best friend (not going to give things away but how these two connected and became friends…………unreal…unreal!))))) love shopping, shoes, perfume…yes all those things we all think about!!!!!She house-sits because she’s an army brat and likes to move around and also doesn’t do commitment or forever……She knows out to get people to talk to her – for her research of course – because she’s kind and sweet..but wait she’s also fearless and independent….
