HER LAST WISH (A Rachel Gift FBI Suspense Thriller—Book 1) is the debut novel in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 1,000 five star reviews.
FBI Agent Rachel Gift, 33, unparalleled for her ability to enter the minds of serial killers, is a rising star in the Behavioral Crimes Unit—until a routine doctor visit reveals she has but a few months left to live.
Not wishing to burden others with her pain, Rachel decides, agonizing as it is, not to tell anyone—not even her boss, her partner, her husband, or her seven-year-old daughter. She wants to go down fighting, and to take as many serial killers with her as she can.
A serial killer strikes in the Virginia area, targeting women who seek fertility treatments. As Rachel enters his sick and twisted mind, she struggles to understand his motive, or the connection between the victims.
Worse, the case strikes too close to home, bringing up memories of her own fertility treatments, and her failed mission to have a second child. As she seeks insight from a diabolical, jailed serial killer, she immediately realizes it’s a mistake. Can he see right through her?
Can Rachel keep her secret and keep her deteriorating health at bay long enough to finish the job? Can she fulfill her own bucket list before she dies? And can she keep herself from descending down the dark hole of her own traumatic past?
A riveting and chilling crime thriller featuring a brilliant and flailing FBI agent, the RACHEL GIFT series is an unputdownable mystery, packed with suspense, twists and shocking secrets, propelled by a page-turning pace that will keep you bleary-eyed late into the night.

Her Last Wish
3By judyfl941Usual excellent writing, however, I do not like to be left hanging at the end of a story requiring you to purchase the next book. I want the full story in one complete volume. My only complaint about my favorite author.Ending?
4By tutto fashadDidn’t realize the story was over; thought it continued.Nearly read in one sitting.
4By nelliddickClean. Intriguing story & plot. Tear jerker at times. One of the best short reads I’ve read. Would be a 5star, if there had not been so many misspellings, grammar errors, or maybe spellcheck/autocorrect changes. Hard to believe the author and editor missed seeing them and correcting; so my theory is autocorrect.Errors+misspellings
1By DrnkbethAll of the mistakes in the book made it impossible to focus on the book. Page after page...Great writing
5By mimirandyI have read 22 books so far but Blake Pierce. He has such fascinating characters and his books are hard to put down!Good
4By Kelly129834It was a good book, but was expecting a different, more cliff hanging ending knowing that there are sequel books. Also, many grammatical errors.Her last wish
4By Ralphnun1Excellent thriller!!! No real ending though unless you order the next book and that I don’t like.Her Last Wish
5By kathywamsleyGood book would recommend it to others. Interesting story line. Thanks kHer last wish
5By chmoeeGreat mystery novel by Pierce. Got you so you couldn’t put the book down until the end. And sort of leaves you hanging at the end so you have to read more of this author ! Great writing!The story is really a good idea, however…
4By ThilmCoSince I read ebooks, it was clear that the publisher did not finish editing this book before putting it up for sale. As I was having to navigate around wrong punctuation and missed words and letters I was also wishing the story had been flushed out a bit more. Deeper character backgrounds and a lot more research into the particulars. Having family in law enforcement, in the FBI, and as a military veteran myself, I definitely noticed inconsistencies along the way. Overall though, I was compelled to finish the book. Not sure I want to continue the series, though, I’d like to find out what happens with Rachel.
