Description
FBI Special Agent Ella Dark has studied serial killers from the time she could read, devastated by the murder of her own father. Her encyclopedic knowledge of killers, though, is put to the test when a woman barely escapes from the car of a serial killer, and Ella compares it to past cases. But this killer may just be determined to do the one thing Ella never anticipates: to stray from his predecessors.

Blake Pierce did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page.”

5By jenkkaiAnother wonderful read!Girl Hunted
4By JacquieMoon1I enjoy your writing and I have now gone onto the third series. I agree you could use a better proofreader, and I am beginning to find the characters redundant. I believe I may go back to reading different authors for awhile. Continuing to write, but try one with a different character type. Thank You for the pleasure of reading some good, but sometimes obvious endingsSame o same o
3By Nrwuv2shopNot very exciting. Not much thrill for me.Slow Reading
3By SaintsbugI love Blake Pierce’s writing! My favorite series is Jessie Hunt. I was excited to see the Ella Dark series come out. As it is a good book, I feel it takes me forever to keep reading. I find it mirrors Riley Page series with the convicted serial killer helping her solve crimes. Same situation with Ella Dark. I’m a committed reader and will finish every book in the series but it won’t be my first choice to read.Can’t get enough Ella Dark!
5By Jerianne FoyElla Dark is such a relatable character. Most of the time I am cheering her on and in awe of her intelligence; occasionally, I am berating her for what I feel are questionable actions. Blake Pierce books never disappoint. A book that I get caught up in and stay up too late to finish. I cannot wait for the next one!GIRL, HUNTED
5By crazy lady 57Fantastic! Fast paced with enough twists to keep us guessing. I didn’t want to put it down. Another great series!!! September 2, 2021 Crazy lady 57It’s heating up!
5By Lesli_SilvaElla Dark is an FBI agent with an eidetic memory for serial killers. She remembers the names of killers, their victims, and the details surrounding their cases. Ella uses this skill to help search for killers with her senior partner, the much respected Mia Ripley. In Girl Hunted, Ella makes the foolish decision to make an in-prison visit with Tobias Campbell, the one killer who nearly killed Ripley. He is a master of manipulation and is so dangerous he is kept in a separate wing of the prison in solitary confinement. Ella’s visit is short-lived, as Tobias dismisses her without answering any of her questions, but what he does say to her haunts her throughout the next case. (Their interaction reminded me a little of Riley Paige and Shane Hatcher from the Riley Paige series.) When Ella and Mia return to work they are on the hunt for a Zodiac copycat. Although Ella’s actions help close the copycat case, her visit with Tobias Campbell has long reaching consequences. The end of this book opens wide the possibilities for future entries. I am looking forward to reading where they go.Well paced.

5By Alb224Ella Dark is my new favorite FBI agent!! I received an ARC of “Girl Hunted,” book three in this series. This meant I wanted and needed to read #1 and #2 to learn the back story on Agent Dark before checking out this new release. I’ve read all three books in the last six days!! Ella Dark, an FBI Data Researcher, has studied and retained most details from the killings of the most notorious serial killers of all times. Because of her expansive knowledge she’s been asked again to join seasoned agent, and partner in prior cases, to track a possible serial killer who appears to be modeling his murders after the Zodiac Killer. While trying to solve this case Dark also tries to uncover the author of letters she discovered from her late father’s belongings that she has saved since his murder when she was just a child. Additionally, Agent Dark will start down a dangerous path after she initiates communication with a criminal from her partner’s past that she’s been warned not to go near. “Girl Hunted” ends with the need to know what Ella Dark will encounter next and will she be prepared for the evil that lurks around the next corner? When reading any of Blake Pierce’s series, I definitely recommend reading them in order. You don’t have to, of course, but the background information does carry over from book to book and truly enhances the storyline. I’ll be (impatiently) waiting for the release of book four in this series!!!!
