On the day of her wedding to the Crown Prince, Aveline is cursed for helping the wrong person. Not entirely a ghost, she is in between, having no control over what form she takes at any given moment. To break it, Aveline is forced to turn to the man she helped: the ostracised Magic Collector.

Sebastian, known to everyone else as The Magic Collector, is shrouded in mystery. His castle disappears, sometimes for months, and then reappears without warning. Curious about him and his collection, Aveline pieces together that he, too, is cursed. As romantic feelings blossom, she is determined to free Sebastian as well—but there are dark costs that expose even darker secrets.

Equipped with the horrifying truth, Aveline is left with two choices: abandon the man she loves, or everyone she is trying to return to.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite reads this year!

    This is what I love about reading — finding books that make me fall in love with stories over and over again.

    I adore this book A LOT, the characters are all so close to my heart especially Aveline as I find myself so much in her. Sebastian is kind and warm and I love, love him. Leo, Maud, Meredith are all wonderful people as well! And Solas and Luna are adorable!

    Ah, I love this book so much that I NEED to have the physical copy of it on my shelf! This story and its characters will live rent free in my head for a long, long time — possibly forever.

    I love this author’s command of words. It was a very easy read. The story kept me turning pages until my phone fell on my nose!

    There is nothing I did not like about the story or the writing style. I will definitely read this author’s work again!

    This book is probably one of my favorites. The world building and storyline were incredible and I loved the chemistry between the characters. I don’t say this a lot but this will definitely be a book I come back to.

    I would have to say, I’d give it a 5… however, I am not so good with keeping up with the mental pictures. It’s so good but I just can’t help think that seeing this in as a movie…it would be way more better (I don’t think that’s grammatically correct) a movie would do it justice.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy with a Positive Message
    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024
    This is a fun fantasy novel with clean romance. What stood out to me most is the depth of the characters and relationships in the story. I love that this book is all about personal growth for the characters. This particular theme is well done throughout, and it makes the story feel more realistic that the characters are struggling with things that are so relatable. The overall concept is creative and exciting. A very enjoyable read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Earnest Romance in a Time-Travelling Haunted Castle
    Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2023
    This is a special book, one that I could easily read again. Where to begin? The Magic Collector has some clever callbacks to Howl’s Moving Castle and Crimson Peak, using character names like "Edith" and "Lottie", and borrowing familiar phrases from those stories. The author freely credits these comp titles as inspiration, but TMC doesn’t feel like a retelling. Originality and breathtaking twists and turns make it enchanting in its own right. I claimed an advance reader copy of the Magic Collector. All opinions are my own.

    I like that the author acknowledges the strangeness and the inconsistencies of a ghostly existence. Ghosts can lightly touch one another; some can move objects and some affect nothing at all. Even if not all of it is explained (and it shouldn’t be) the characters question these phenomena as we do, piquing curiosity without slowing the plot. I love a good mystery. The tragedy of the Blaise family unfurls gradually, giving us little clues in the lead-up to the reveals. You can savour Infalt’s writing, it doesn’t rush you along and you can't help but feel something for the characters.

    Speaking of the characters, the two leads are incredibly endearing and responsible. They bond over their shared struggles and a sense that they can’t live for their own happiness. It’s incredibly cathartic to journey with them as they begin to reveal their vulnerabilities to each other. Sebastian is a bit more grounded than Howl; less prone to dramatic outbursts, though he still has his moments of doing silly things to protect his pride. Aveline must come to terms with the fact that it is OK for others to want love, and for her to want it too. She’s not quite as obsessively tidy as Sophie Hatter, though she brings some order to the crumbling castle.

    Having Leo, Maud’s son and Sebastian's ward, running about the castle is a nice touch. I’m sure anyone courting with children around will identify with the leads as the boy frequently interrupts them at inopportune times. The secondary characters are real scene-stealers. I love Maud, Meredith, Jeanette and Edith. There is so much sass here. Sebastian absolutely should listen to Maud all the time because she is always right. Meredith’s OCD over her library books is entirely understandable. I imagine Florence Pugh’s throaty voice when I read Jeanette’s no-nonsense lines.

    Content Warnings: Graphic descriptions of injuries.

    A perfect read for anyone who enjoys gothic fantasy with sweet romance and a tense journey to a happy ending.
