Y’all! This is a knockout. In a world where feelings are outlawed, Emma Thorne is the Council’s deadliest weapon—until one stolen tear awakens love, grief, and rage she can’t unfeel. Suddenly, the sterile hum of New Geneva is shattered with raw, electric humanity.

Emma is fierce yet fragile, Evan is the spark that ignites her rebellion, and the Council is chilling in its antiseptic perfection. French’s writing is cinematic—you hear the neural hum, taste molten emotion, and feel every pulse of danger.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Bold, addictive, and emotionally charged. This isn’t just a dystopian thriller—it’s a sensory experience that makes you grateful for every messy, beautiful feeling.

"I wasn't sure what to expect from The Emotion Collector, but I loved it. The more characters I met, the more characters there were to love and others to try to understand their motivations... Once I started, I didn't want to stop. I love novels that surprise me, and I was surprised at the twists and turns that Richard French threw my way."

"The Emotion Collector: Awakening totally surprised me—in the best way. The concept is unique, the world-building is vivid, and the characters feel layered and real. I loved how the story blends mystery, adventure, and emotion-based magic without ever getting confusing or slow. Every chapter ended with me saying “just one more,” and suddenly I’d finished the whole thing."

"The Emotion Collector: Awakening is a beautifully written exploration of emotion, consciousness, and control. This book offers both intellectual stimulation and emotional resonance, a rare and rewarding combination."
