The Toy Collector: The Russo Mafia, Book 1

Why we recommend it

A Russo Mafia opener that leans hard into menace and obsession, this one is built for readers who like their antiheroes dangerous and their tension blade-sharp. Expect a possessive captor whose fixation blurs every line, a heroine pulled into a world where collecting people is a way of life, and a slow, simmering dread that never quite lets go. Dark, claustrophobic, and unapologetically intense.
