Once Pined (A Riley Paige Mystery—Book 6)

In this his 6th entry of the Riley Paige series, Mr. Pierce takes us out to Seattle, Washington, where a serial poisoner has taken root and will not stop until Riley can figure out the who and why. A delayed type of poison complicates the timeline and the local FBI and police resent her presence compounding her problems. Riley being Riley doesn't care who's toes she steps on as long as she can catch this killer and finds herself in trouble and once again she gets suspended but doesn't let that stop her. In the meantime she is dealing with issues on the home front with her daughter and ex-husband and the new addition of Jilly to her family, so life is never dull.Mr. Pierce always delivers a well developed mystery that never disappoints. I highly recommend this series.

Another great Riley Paige book. Blake Pierce is a great author who causes me to lose a lot of sleep and even be late to work sometimes because I can't stop reading. I love all his series but I'm really fond of FBI agents and serial killers. And as a healthcare worker myself this serial killer and the description of the rehab staff at the facility Riley went into was dead on to some places i've had the misfortune to work. I live in a small town in NC and we've had an angel of death or two here. It's scary to think that sweet caring coworker is killing people and no one has a clue.

I LOVE the Riley Paige series. It's stark in it's reality, no bars are holded, thus bringing a sense of panicked, scary, realism to her books. They keep me up at night to carry on reading, as well as worrying about the monsters out there who could get you. :)I have followed Riley's character development throughout the books, watching her grow into herself, realising what her limitations are, indeed what limitations she isn't willing to negotiate on. Facing up the consequences of her actions.In short she is a humble human who feels everything, yet despite it all is able to raise up and being an amazing agent. :)

I would gladly give more stars, I mean I have continued to spend $4-6 per book... however I REALLY wish someone would proof read these books. An occasional grammar error I could understand. There's just so many. I'm only saying so in hopes the next book will be better. I'm a big fan of the character and the story line. Guess I was thinking the writing would improve...

This book kept you suspended from beginning to end. I disliked how Agent Paige and Argent Jefferies were treated by everyone in the Seattle FBI Office when they were requested to come. I liked how things at Paige' home life is turning out. Just praying that it continues.

But I can't NOT read this series.This book may be the best of the series. Riley isn't as whiney as in the previous books. She's coming to terms with the unsettled realities of her life. Her PTSD is still troubling her -- the flashbacks at the most inopportune times, but few other symptoms.I'm not sure that I am pleased with her potentially getting back with her ex. But that might be the best thing for the girls -- both of them.

I don't know maybe it's me, and that I read this series back to back within 5 days, but this story just didn't seem to have the " umph" that the other books did. I wasn't carried away, with the story, even though the others were predictable,(as was this one,) I just wasn't as excited about this one and I had been about the rest. However, I hope there will be many, many more!

Love this series! Riley Paige is such a badass character and the behavioral analysis factor is really intriguing. I haven't been able to stop reading this series since I received a copy of Watching (The Making Of Riley Paige #1) as part of a giveaway in exchange for an honest review. I'm hooked

Brilliant is the best and only word for this novel! I absolutely loved it, found it amazingly hard to put down.

Love the agent riley books although pioson killing was not my favourite but loved it all the same. Cant wait to read the rest,

Love this series. You could read the books alone but makes more sense together. Would highly recommend for a beginner trying to get into reading

Great read

Yet another great 'page turner' Blake has the ability of keeping the reader intrigued right up to the last page. This book, and indeed the previous ones, are exciting and entertaining and I would recommend them to anyone. 📖📖
