I couldn’t put it down! Great prequel to the other series I started by Blake Pierce. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. A great read you won’t regret!

Intriguing. Enjoy the character, interactions, and the multigenerational discussions.

Interesting character development Sets direction for additional books to be written

There were many errors in names and grammar. But it had a great story line and action.

I’ve read just about every book series by Blake Pierce and I’m starting the Riley Paige series again. And it’s just as good as the first time I read it. There are a few clerical errors ( Mr. Hayman calls Riley Paige instead of Sweeney in the library after she was attacked by Leon ) a couple others but I’m a little too detailed. I love this author and how empowering the heroine is. Riley Paige makes me proud to be a woman and inspires me to be better, but knowing that we all have our past trauma or current trauma that we can all relate to Riley.

These editors needs to be fired

Didn’t put it down ONCE!

I enjoyed the book.

However, there were many times the wrong name or pronoun for characters were used.

Great story a few errors. Can teach students in College to be careful.

Great read. Easy to read, and always kept me turning the pages, setting on the edge of my seat.

It’s a great prequel to the Riley Paige series. The story has been alluded to in the series so it was great to read the full story.

This book has potential but really needs an editor. There are parts that are jumbled and don’t make sense because people are referred to as “he” and “she” to talk about one single person. Some parts are too unrealistic and blatant. You can also only use “shocked” and “shuddered” so many times in a chapter before you really need to choose some other descriptive terms. The ending felt so rushed out of nowhere. At one point the main character sees and talks to her professor in the library and presumably less than an hour later calls his office and it’s written like they’ve not seen each other all day. The main characters name also gets a different last name of another character towards the end. All in all not a bad book, but could have been so much better

Just an ok book.

I happened upon this book at random and decided to give it a shot and I was instantly hooked. The author did a beautiful job at pacing plot, conflict, and creating strong character development. Hands down, one of the best thriller books I’ve ever read.

This book really kept me on the edge of my seat really wondering who the killer was. I didn’t see the end coming and i love that most about this book! I can’t wait to read the next one!

If you like mystery,this is a book for you, you will never guess who did it!!!! I didn’t till near the end!

Oooooh noooo!!! How did I guess the killer waaaay too early in this book? Then I was off and on with him. At the ending events, I was right on. He was just too dang nice I guess. Glad Riley was saved by FBI Agent. We need more of her, and thankfully we are getting it. Great suspense.

The book overall was thrilling and suspenseful but that tends to be broken when the characters don’t have the right names. At one point right after the first murder there was a point where it was “Rhea said” in an active conversation and my first thought was ‘wait is this supposed to be a ghost story?’ Then for a MAJORITY of the book the main characters name isn’t Riley Paige, it’s Riley Sweeney, and the the supposed to be love interest was Ryan Paige. It was a running joke that Riley wouldn’t remember him or his name. Riley’s brief stint with drinking too much after Trudys murder didn’t make sense. She only drank wine before this, why that drink? Why did she start drinking out of depression only now? I hope these errors can maybe be edited and fixed one day because then it would be an amazing read.
