I don’t think there are words to express how excited I am to bring you the Release Day Launch for Heather Lyons’ THE FORGOTTEN MOUNTAIN! THE FORGOTTEN MOUNTAIN is an Adult Romantic Fairy Tale, full of adventure and fantasy and the third book in Heather’s The Collectors’ Society Series! It is absolutely incredible and a book you will not want to miss!
After years spent in Wonderland, Alice Reeve learned the impossible was quite possible after all. She thought she left such fantastical realities behind when she finally returned to England.
Now Alice has become a member of the clandestine Collectors’ Society, and the impossible has found her again in the form of an elusive villain set on erasing entire worlds. As she and the rest of the Society race to bring this mysterious murderer to justice, the fight becomes painfully personal.
Lives are being lost. Loved ones are shattered or irrevocably altered. Each step closer Alice gets to the shadowy man she hunts, the more secrets she unravels, only to reveal chilling truths. If she wants to win this war and save millions of lives, Alice must once more embrace the impossible and make the unimaginable, imaginable.
Sometimes, the rabbit hole leads to terrifying places.

If I could give a book a million golden stars, this would be the one. THE FORGOTTEN MOUNTAIN has upped the Collectors’ Society game and once again, captured my attention with its incredible heart, valor, passion, and creativity! In years to come this series will be one I recommend to young and old alike. The brilliance of this story and series is one that should be savored and adored by all the world over.
When THE HIDDEN LIBRARY ended, there was no guarantee or direction as to what Heather Lyon’ ‘had in store for her Society. There was chaos, heartbreak, and pain woven into those final pages and once I got my hands on this story I was equal parts terrified of what I would find and thrilled to finally have another piece of the puzzle. This story does not disappoint. It takes us on a rabbit trail that is shocking and utter perfection- the best next step for the series. The beauty of this series is that there is no way to know what will come next. There are logical next steps for the characters at hand in a big picture sort of way but the details are not even comprehendible until they are penned to paper. The obvious objective is to save the Timelines and stop the bad guy. It could be straight forward and boring in its delivery but instead Heather Lyons continues to weave a world filled with stories of our childhood into something more. The details revealed and the journeys taken in this book are paramount. You have to give this book your full attention lest you miss something important. There are hidden meanings and innuendos every step of the way and it is the details that make this story brilliant.
Alice is ever the literary badass that keeps getting better and better. She has been taken, in my mind, from a young wandering and aimless girl to a strong, confident, and powerful ally. She is determination personified. It is this journey in my mind as I now meet a grown Alice that makes her even better. This woman has seen and experienced the impossible, which in turn allows her to achieve the unthinkable in her task at hand. She is a warrior and a queen; two sides of a coin that is worth its weight in gold.
I will not spoil this story but know that it takes a turn in such a way that is shocking and delightful. More stories are drawn into the fold, more characters to know and love. When truth is discovered, more questions are asked. The emotional depth and passion to this book will have you rooting against all odds, taking the reader to a place we know and love- where anything can happen and true love saves the day. There are twists and turns in these story- ones you might foresee and others that you cannot possibly understand. There is power, magic, and comradery. The truth that is uncovered is shocking and terrifying. It is a bit frightening to know that at this point in the story, anything could happen. There are so many storylines and ideas running amuck that there is no way to predict what happens next. I was shocked as I read to see where these characters ended up. Their destination was not on the radar for me in the slightest and THAT is what keeps this story fresh and wonderful. The possibilities are endless in this world that Heather has created. You see more of characters outside of Finn and Alice- learning about Jack and seeing the world in a new light. You explore new stories and see how things are interconnected in a creative and scary way. And that ending… talk about terrifying, confusing, and sinister.
Each word written in this book is the epitome of a dream come true for every book nerd and literature lover in the world. Watching characters from the beloved classics and the stories of our childhood come to life and battle evil is something that will forever change your perspective of a simple book. This story allows the inner child in me to take heed and know that I can be strong like Alice- evolving into something more than one ever thought could be. It might sound cheesy but this book allows readers to take charge of the world they find in the pages of a book and learn to delve deeper into a story than they ever thought possible. The possibilities are needless and that idea is heady and exciting. I will never read a story the same way again, always wondering what happens to my favorite characters after the last word of their written story. These characters live on in our hearts and I love the idea that they live in our world too!
The van door behind us slides shut. A click signals Marianne’s adherence to my wishes, and then we three descend upon the front door, the crunch of dead leaves and twigs beneath our feet cutting through the uneasy silence the gloom sunrise has brought. In a surprising show of gentlemanly manners, the A.D. moves to open the door. When the handle does not depress, a half smile curves his lips. “It’s locked. But no worries. I can have it picked open in no time.”
“There is no need.”
Darkish-blonde brows scrunch together. “But—”
“Stand to the side, please.”
When he fails to move at my thinly veiled order, Mary not so gently yanks our companion away.
The door before us is thick. The handle is ornate. It is a beautiful door, no doubt chosen specifically to adorn a building as fine as Bücherei. It takes me three strong, measured swings of my war hammer against the handle and its surrounding area to break it apart and permanently scar its beauty. Picking a lock is kind, respectful even. A picked lock can be relocked. I do not wish this door to close behind me. I do not wish to be respectful of Bücherei.
The time for genteel manners is gone.
The A.D. is in danger of catching flies with his mouth as he ogles the door’s remnants. For someone who professes to be so clever, he certainly underestimates ladies far too often.
Stale darkness, oppressive and opaque all at once, looms before us. I am unafraid, though. I am not even taken aback. I believe in the impossible, after all. I have seen, lived the impossible.
I step past the wreckage into the house.
