Once Buried

Seriously a person who buries people alive? Who does that? A psycho that is what. Again Pierce doesn't disappoint. We get to see more of Riley, some more of Jenn and more of Bill. We get to learn more about Jenn which is nice. We have typical Riley, after all she has been thru with Hatcher she still has some issues to work thru. I mean we have Peterson then Hatcher, I would have issues too. This one did not disappoint I feel like the farther we go the better they get!!!!!

In all the books of this series there is a serial killer and the murders are horrible but for some reason this book and the way the victims were killed resonated the most. Like a lot of readers I become part of the story with the characters and just the thought of what they went through was beyond horrifying. We also get to know Jenn a little better and find out a little of her past and how it is affecting her life now...will be interesting to see how this plays out.

3...A bit of a step down but only due to the overall dramatics this time around! The case was cool and unique, and our newest detective's secrets are slowly leaking! Can't wait to see where that alone leads...

I couldn't put it down. The suspense of not knowing gets me every time. Right when I think YES it's that person BAM nope it's not. And just like that I'm reading till 2 in the morning. Then only thing that really gets to me is the retelling of the last books and crimes. Yes I know if you pick up this book before you've read the 11 others then you'll have some clue what's going on but.... This is a series book read them in order!!! And I'm really liking this Jenn character a lot i can't wait to dig into her past. Once again I'm hooked... If you need me I'll be reading the next book!!!

When Riley Paige, along with her partner Jenn Roston are summoned to investigate two back-to-back murders, where the victims were buried alive; she decides this may the perfect time to lure her former partner, Bill Jeffreys, out of his PTSD. She recommends the same to her boss, Brent Meredith, who grudgingly agrees.<br /><br />The case is bizzare.<br />The victims are buried alive in sand - and the killer leaves behind a 24-hour hand-made enormous hourglass, filled with sand, marking the countdown to his next victim.<br />What could possibly be his relationship with sand?<br /><br />As her team literally race against time, Riley has to deal with a dark secret that Jenn is harbouring.<br />Is Jenn in trouble? Will she be made to lose her job with the FBI?<br /><br />Will Riley be able to solve the case in time to prevent yet another murder? <br />With the locals not on her side, as always, and superiors in the bureau who wait for her to fail, there’s a lot for Riley at stake.<br /><br />This series only gets better with time!

In this novel, FBI Agent Blake Pierce hunts for a serial killer who buries people alive. She does this with the help of a team of FBI Agents especially Agent Bill and Agent Jenn. All the while searching for the killer, all the three agents have to fight the demons of their past that continuously haunt them.<br /><br />After watching 12 seasons of the TV show Criminal Minds, I can say I was pretty much familiar with the working of the Behavioral Analysis Unit or BAU of the FBI. This story has the appropriate amount of thrill and suspense but I think this would be the first and last of Riley Paige Mystery that I read. After watching a lot of the same on TV, its just too much for me.<br /><br />Still the whole Riley Paige Series (as I guessed after reading this one) would surely be worth reading.

Book 11 in the Riley Paige series gives us the much-anticipated "secret" background on young Agent Jenn. She indeed does hold some dark secrets, and Jenn has entrusted Riley with them. As a team, they make a great pair. Jenn needs to learn the way Bill has learned that she needs to trust Riley's instincts. In this installment, a killer is leaving sand timers marking every 24 hours another murder will take place. The sand timers are the only clues, and Riley is quickly frustrated with multiple dead ends. Just when I thought they had the murders solved, yet it's another dead end. Blake Pierce adds more and more pressure to his character Riley's life--how much can she handle?

<strong>Blake pierce never Fails !!</strong><br /><br />this is the 12th book in one of his series. I'm his biggest fan ...love all series by Blake.<br />This book got a 5, just deserved it for this book. Riley, is an amazing FBI agent. This story puts you there, grips you, tightens your chest, and you not only won't but can't stop reading. I'm officially a part of Riley Paige's life lol. I can't wait for book 13 out in March. Just love all Blake's series. The only thing that I am bothered by is the price went up, but I understand why, and it won't stop me lol.

<strong>Another good one</strong><br /><br />A fast paced thriller that you'd expect from Pierce. I miss the kind games from Hatcher though. I wish their had been more build up and suspense surrounding Jenn's situation.. It has made her look as if she is not as fierce of a character but instead is more of a victim when in past books Pierce had us scared Jenn was a force to be reckoned with against Riley until Riley could learn to trust her as an agent and partner. I'm hoping that'll change in upcoming books.

I have listened to every book my library carries by Blake Pierce. They are all excellent. They keep you enthralled from beginning to end. All her books show the ptsd side of being in law enforcement. When I get out of this mood I am in to listen to books i will read all of Blake's ebooks available at my libraries. These books show the family part of law enforcement and how heart wrenching it is to be away from family, having to juggle a career you love with love of family.
