Riley Paige Mystery Bundle: Once Gone / Once Taken by Blake Pierce
4.0
The description of this series intrigued me and I wasn't mistaken. These books are dark, intense and interesting. Riley Page is an FBI agent who had been abducted and held by a serial killer prior to the series starting. She has PTSD and is on leave until being called into consult on a case. Riley isn't sure that her abductor is actually dead so flash backs and strange things happening always lead her to conclude that it is him back and ready for revenge.
In Once Gone, Riley is helping to hunt down a serial killer who poses his victims like dolls, she has a hard time convincing the powers that be that she is on the right track but her partner has her back. Riley has always had an uncanny knack for getting inside a killers head.
In Once Taken Riley is hunting a serial killer who kills with chains. She also meets an interesting character who is in prison for murder but has become an expert on the mind of murderers. She turns to him for help at the recommendation of a colleague, but what she finds may require more than she is willing to give. Its a quid pro quo situation and Riley thinks that he sees her maybe a little too well.
Both books are well written and interesting and I liked the narrator however the narrator is British and these books take place in the US which I often forget while listening. I have to keep reminding myself this is the FBI, its US not England, that would be my biggest fault with this recording. Although I do really like the narration and the ways she portrays the different characters.
