Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:

Women are turning up dead in the rural outskirts of Virginia, killed in grotesque ways, and when the FBI is called in, they are 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 a frantic race against time, she finds herself pushed to her limit, her job on the line, her own family in danger, and her fragile psyche collapsing.

Yet once Riley Paige takes on a case, she will not quit. It obsesses her, leading her to the darkest corners of her own mind, blurring the lines between hunter and hunted. After a series of unexpected twists, her instincts lead her to a shocking climax that even Riley could not have imagined.

A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, ONCE GONE marks the debut of a riveting new seriesâ??and a beloved new characterâ??that will leave you turning pages late into the night.

ONCE TAKEN (Book #2), ONCE CRAVED (Book #3), and ONCE LURED (Book #4) are now also available… (plus d'informations)

I quite enjoyed this book, but I'm not really tempted to keep reading the series. The notes at the end mention Blake Pierce is an avid reader of crime fiction. This doesn't surprise me, as it felt like she's thrown the plots from a number of established authors into a blender and churned out fan fiction instead of trying to create her own style. The characters have some depth to them, but the plot is let down by Paige's impossibly lucid insight when presented with little information, and her colleagues' lucid stupidity when faced with a wealth of it. An early example is her partner Bill admiring her brilliance for suggesting the FBI look for connections between the children of two mothers murdered by the same killer. I didn't dislike the book, but I'm glad I didn't have to pay anything for it. Scribd has book two as an audiobook I might give it a listen if I can’t find something else to sink my teeth into. ( )

Los cuerpos de mujeres asesinadas grotescamente están apareciendo en las afueras rurales de Virginia y, cuando llaman al FBI para pedir su ayuda, no tienen respuesta. Hay un asesino en serie cuya frecuencia está aumentando, y saben que solamente hay una agente lo suficientemente buena para resolver este caso, la Agente Especial Riley Paige.
Riley se encuentra en un permiso pagado, recuperándose de su encuentro con su último asesino en serie y, frágil como está, el FBI está reacio a aprovechar su mente brillante. Sin embargo, Riley se suma al caso, necesitando luchar contra sus propios demonios, y su búsqueda la lleva por la subcultura inquietante de coleccionistas de muñecas, a los hogares de familias desintegradas y por los caminos más oscuros de la mente del asesino. Mientras Riley profundiza en el caso más y más, se da cuenta de que está enfrentando a un asesino más retorcido de lo que había imaginado. En una carrera frenética contra el tiempo, se encuentra presionando sus límites, su trabajo en riesgo, su propia familia en peligro y su frágil psiquis colapsando.

This is not starting out to be a spectacular reading month for me...or maybe I am becoming too critical. At any rate the 1 star I gave this mystery (???), police procedural (???) ...again, was extremely generous. Meet Riley Paige...Special Agent with the FBI and her p_ _ _ _ _whipped, lapdog partner, Bill. We learn right away that the case was given to Riley because "she is the best agent the FBI has", or...to hear them tell it...EVER HAD! If that's truly the case...Heaven Help Us ALL!!! I'm pretty sure that she hates the entire male gender. She spent 75% of her time handcuffing and questioning men that had done nothing wrong except be born male and breath air. I borrowed a thought from another reviewer that expressed my feelings for this book SOOOO much better than I could and I totally 150% agree with. "She had the sole authority to assault, arrest, and violate the rights of anyone she might FEEL to be guilty with impunity makes this more of a super-hero comic book than a legitimate novel for adult readers." Thank you, Steve...whoever you may be, for summing this up so beautifully. I also liked the reviewer that suggested it be read in the bathroom and the pages used for an entirely different purpose.

La narración (audiolibro en Español) está bien. Aunque no me gusta su interpretación de las voces. La edición tiene varios errores de frases repetidas.La historia es intrigante, pero exaspera ciertos eventos que parecen ridiculos como ocurren. ( )
