Riley Paige Mystery Bundle: Once Gone (#1), Once Taken (#2) and Once Craved (#3) Kindle Edition
The #1 bestselling series by USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, with over 5,000 five-star reviews!
“A dynamic story line that grips from the first chapter and doesn't let go.”
--Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Once Gone)
In ONCE GONE, women are turning up dead in the rural outskirts of Virginia, killed in grotesque ways, and when the FBI is called in, they're stumped. A serial killer is out there, his frequency increasing, and they know there is only one agent good enough to crack this case: Special Agent Riley Paige. Riley is on paid leave herself, recovering from her encounter with her last serial killer, and, fragile as she is, the FBI is reluctant to tap her brilliant mind. Yet Riley, needing to battle her own demons, comes on board, and her hunt leads her through the disturbing subculture of doll collectors, into the homes of broken families, and into the darkest canals of the killer’s mind. As Riley peels back the layers, she realizes she is up against a killer more twisted than she could have imagined.
In ONCE TAKEN, women are being murdered in upstate New York, their bodies found mysteriously hanging in chains. With the FBI called in, given the bizarre nature of the murders—and the lack of any clues—there is only one agent they can turn to: Special Agent Riley Paige. Riley is still convinced a former serial killer is out there, stalking her. But she knows her ability to enter a serial killer’s mind is needed to crack this case, and she just can’t refuse—even if it will push her over the edge.
In ONCE CRAVED, when prostitutes turn up dead in Phoenix, not much attention is paid. But when a pattern of disturbing murders is discovered, the local police soon realize a serial killer is on a rampage and they're in way over their heads. The FBI knows they will need their most brilliant mind to crack the case: Special Agent Riley Paige. Riley, recovering from her last case and trying to pick up the pieces of her life, is at first reluctant. But when she learns of the grievous nature of the crimes and realizes the killer will soon strike again, she is compelled. Will her obsessive nature take her too far, this time, to pull herself back from the brink?
Dark psychological thrillers with heart-pounding suspense, the Riley Paige mysteries are a riveting new series—with a beloved new female protagonist—that will leave you turning pages late into the night. Books #1--#17 in the series are all available, as are books #1--#6 in the prequel series (The Making of Riley Paige). Complete bundles are also available of each series.
“A masterpiece of thriller and mystery! The author did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side that is so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success. The plot is very intelligent and will keep you entertained throughout the book. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page.”

- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2021If you enjoy a smart, brave, intriguing but still human FBI agent, read a Reilly Paige book. I often complete One Character series but I bounce between two or three series at a time as I get bored with the same characters over and over. I started with the first " Making of Reilly Paige" book. I read the second immediately after, then the third and haven't read anything else since. Great surrounding characters and the stories very enough to not seem bland. Blake Pierce is a fantastic storyteller!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2020Seriously engaging from the very beginning! The audience is immediately caught up in the excitement and intensity carries throughout the series. I've read 4 of the books so far without stopping & have even intention of carrying on through the remainder of the series.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016Riley Paige has the unique ability to anayze a crime scene and formulate a profile of what exactly drives a serial killer to kill. She's so good at it that she is hardly at home. It cost her the break up of her marriage. It is taking it's toll on the relationship she has with her daughter. And eventually she was caught herself in process of rescuing a captive of a serial killer. She was severely tortured and injured and now has to struggle with the resulting constant fear of her forced captivity long after she herself got rescued.
In book 1 of this series the need for her assistance in dealing with a new serial killer with the habit of displaying his victims after death in beautiful. natural surroundings as if a doll, caused BAU to recall her back to service before she is really up to it. And then there is her niggling suspicion that the freak who held her captive previousy, is not really dead. On top of that a senator is determined to get her fired. A great start to the new series.
With book 2 Riley is struggling to cope with her demons derived from having been caught and tortured by a serial killer. Her boss and colleagues simply don't believe her that the mentioned serial killer might be alive. Then her daughter April gets kidnapped by the very man nobody wanted to believe was still alive.
This happen midst the investigation into a bizarre case where another serial killer tends to leave his victims suspended in the air by chains.
The second confirms the promise of the first that the Riley Paige series are going to be one heck of a good series to follow. Highly commended
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2016Another excellent book. The author has created characters one can like. She keeps the reader's interest. I do wish more care was put in the editing as the missing words and misspellings are an irritation.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
I always start Blake’s books looking for a very good way to entertain myself and to discover a new exciting thriller. This book started nicely but it turned to be a low challenging not smart type of thriller. Hopefully the next one on Riley’s series will overcome the low level suspense and intrigue this one showed.
