Blake pierce never Fails !!
this is the 11th book in one of his series. I'm his biggest fan ...love all series by Blake. This book got a 5, just deserved it for this book. Riley, is an amazing FBI agent. This story puts you there, grips you, tightens your chest, and you not only won't but can't stop reading. I'm officially a part of Riley Paige's life lol. I can't wait for book 12, out in March. Just love all Blake's series. The only thing that I am bothered by is the price went up, but I understand why, and it won't stop me lol.
Don't let time run out!
Blake wrote an excellent and timely book. It was well written and kept me intrigued throughout the story. The Riley Paige Series is awesome! This particular story is about a serial killer who buries people in the sand and when the clock runs out, another victim will be buried. Meanwhile, Riley is trying to find time in her life to be with her family, date, and find a killer. A difficult combination to deal with as she still suffers PSTD. You will like this book!
An awesome mystery.
Blake Pierce is an amazing murder mystery writer. I never get tired off reading his books. I'm always thoroughly enthralled in his mysteries and never disappointed. I'm glad that that Riley and Jennifer have become friends along with their working relationship, and that they both have dark secrets that further develop their bond.
Buried my head
Really enjoyed the book buried my head into it and couldn't pull myself away. Very nice read. Really enjoy the twists and character development in each of the books.
Another good one
A fast paced thriller that you'd expect from Pierce. I miss the kind games from Hatcher though. I wish their had been more build up and suspense surrounding Jenn's situation.. It has made her look as if she is not as fierce of a character but instead is more of a victim when in past books Pierce had us scared Jenn was a force to be reckoned with against Riley until Riley could learn to trust her as an agent and partner. I'm hoping that'll change in upcoming books.
I like how the story had plenty of twists that kept ...
Unbelievable method of killing in this book. Blake Pierce always finds another strange way to commit a murder. I like how the story had plenty of twists that kept me from figuring out why the murderer chose to kill his victims in such a cruel way. This was a different approach to a murder mystery.
Sand Terror
Fast paced, hidden anguish, and Enlightenment. Rielly and Jen get closer and Bill is still struggling with PTSD. Beautiful Sand Timer left at each murder site.
A Good Read
This book was exact what I've come to expect from this series. It was good, and enjoyable but a bit predictable. I had decided to leave the Riley Paige world behind for a bit, but the teaser of future plot twist, in the next book, drew me in...
I want the Riley Paige mysteries to go on until she is 75!!!
Riley Paige mysteries are gripping and hard to put down. Each time I finish a book, I am anxiously awaiting the download of the next
Five Stars
great read.
