WATCHING (The Making of Riley Paige—Book One) marks the electrifying start of a brand-new psychological thriller series by #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose hit novel Once Gone has earned over 1,000 five-star reviews.
Riley Paige is just 22 years old—a psychology major and an aspiring FBI agent when her life takes a terrifying turn. On her quiet college campus, students are being abducted and murdered by a ruthless serial killer. With her closest friends in danger, Riley realizes she may be the next target—and stopping the killer might be up to her alone.
When the FBI’s investigation stalls, Riley’s sharp insights into the killer’s twisted mind catch their attention. But stepping into the thoughts of a murderer comes at a steep price—and Riley’s own fragile psyche may not survive the darkness she must face.
In a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, Riley must confront her fears, use every ounce of her intelligence, and risk everything to stop a killer before it’s too late.
WATCHING is a heart-pounding, psychological suspense novel that takes you back to where Riley’s story began—long before the events of the bestselling Riley Paige Mystery series. Whether you’re new to Riley Paige or a longtime fan, this gripping new series will leave you breathless.
WAITING (The Making of Riley Paige—Book Two) is also available now!
“A masterful thriller packed with psychological depth. The characters are so vivid, you’ll feel like you’re inside their minds, living their fears, and rooting for their survival. Smart, gripping, and full of twists—you won’t be able to stop until the final page.”
