Riley Paige viene accettata nella dura accademia dell’FBI, ed è determinata a mantenere certamente un profilo basso e a lavorare sodo con i propri colleghi. Ma non è destino, infatti viene scelta per aiutare i propri mentori a tracciare il profilo e dare la caccia ad un serial killer che ha terrorizzato la nazione. Riley si domanda che sorta di killer diabolico userebbe un camper per catturare le sue vittime?

E quale sarà la sua prossima mossa?

Riley non ha tempo per commettere errori in questo mortale gioco del gatto col topo, con il proprio futuro in ballo, e con un killer a piede libero che potrebbe rivelarsi più sveglio di lei.

Death by barbed wire sounds horrendous , does it not? I gave this book three stars because there were quite a few typos--too many to ignore. Otherwise, the author's writing mechanics were good. I love to see 'between you and me' used correctly in a sentence!

Thank you, Mr. Pierce, for a good read.

Loving this series more and more

[Iván · Rating 2 out of 5]

Una vez más me ha parecido un libro ok. No digo que sea un libro malo pero la narrativa que usan a veces me confunde y me desespera un poco al escuchar las mismas palabras como el: "trago grueso y...". Otro de mis problemas es con Riley y Ryan y las decisiones que toman respecto a su relación, no me hace sentido porque alguien quiere seguir en una relación cuando no tienen nada en común y sus intereses están tomando caminos totalmente diferentes.

Por otro lado, también puedo entender por que el personaje de Riley a tomado ese camino, con la familia que le toco y los traumas que pasó desde el primer libro. Riley es de esos personajes que no me caen bien pero me entretienen al ver la manera en la que trata de resolver el caso. Aunque algo que también me causa conflicto es que siempre se tiene que meter en problemas y esta a punto de que la maten o le pase algo.

Getting better

The books keep getting better and jake and Riley continue to develop as characters, as does their bond. Riley still seems to be immature and it seems like she’s always getting tossed out of the academy and let back in. I find that hard to buy. The author needs to add additional maturity to her character so we can see her brilliance instead of being told about it. Overall it was a really great read with an interesting premise. I’ll continue on.

What does it mean to keep getting thrown out of the FBI Academy training program, when, even to the top of the Organization they know that Riley Paige is special and is helping to solve cases that would otherwise might go cold. I like seeing Riley grow and become the profiler she will become in the first few books I read in Riley Paige Mystery. I started reading Riley Paige couple of years ago and have been reading other of Blake Pierce's books since then. I have my favorite Jessie Hunt and then Blake Pierce and then there are others, just look up Blake Pierce and see what strikes your fancy. To get back to Riley and Jake. Riley finally goes to testify in Lanton against the Professor she looked up to who killed her best friend and roommate, Trudy, and her other friend Rhea who Professor Hayman killed thinking he was fulfilling his friend and Professor Zimmerman's plot in his book. So we find her testifying in his case and he has pleaded guilty and tried to say he was not trying to kill her, its a wild day in court. Then we find Agent Jake Crivaro taking Riley with him to help solve the next case he was on. This is getting interesting to me because it is showing Riley growing up as she is young and just finished college and growing as an Agent. I cannot wait to get back to the regular Riley Paige books. Good reading. I highly recommend this book.

I was given an advanced copy for an honest review and was in no way compensated.

Mr. Pierce comes up with the most inventive ways for his serial killers to commit murder. BARBED WIRE is nasty and these victims die a gruesome death. Not for the feint of heart. These are the early days of Riley Paige while she was still Riley Sweeney with raw talent for hunting the bad guys. I love to see her growth and to see how Mr. Pierce is developing her character. Once again she is partnered with Jake the FBI living legend. He is doing his level best to teach how to get the best from her gift but Riley being Riley is her own worst enemy. She has much to learn and Jake will ultimately get the best from her. They make a dynamic team and won't rest until this "Barbed Wire Killer" is stopped.

I am enjoying this series with such tremendous delight and am so looking forward to the next book. I hope Mr. Pierce continues this inventive streak....he's just so good.

AUDIOLIBRO

Dice la reseña : «¡Una obra maestra del género del thriller y misterio! El autor hizo un trabajo magnífico desarrollando a los personajes psicológicamente, tanto así que sientes que estás en sus mentes, vives sus temores y aclamas sus éxitos. La trama es muy inteligente y te mantendrá entretenido durante todo el libro. Este libro te mantendrá pasando páginas hasta bien entrada la noche debido a sus giros inesperados.»

muah ha ha ha ha ... muah ha ha ha ha ... me río de Janeiro !!!

La primera parte, lo de meterte en las mentes de los personajes es lo único cierto y ... TE HARTAS !!! ... qué cansina es la chica, que estúpido el chico y qué indeciso el Crivaro ...

Respecto a la trama, éste me ha parecido absolutamente ABSURDO y de la resolución ya mejor ni hablo.

Seguiré con la "otra" saga que tienE, porque tengo todos los Audiolibros, pero ya veremos cuando ...

[Meredith · Rating 4 out of 5]

I do love the characters, the stories, the dialogue, so much so that I have just bought the fourth book in the series. Once again, Riley finds herself drawn into the hunt for a serial killer or killers by her now-mentor FBI agent Jake Crivaro while she continues to second guess her instincts, her romance, and her career path. I get so immersed in these books that it's difficult for me to put them down. I would have rated this 5 stars but this is three books in a row where Riley is face-to-face with the murderer and nearly dies. I also wish her editors would be a little more careful in making sure that the names are consistent throughout (in one case a Senator has one name and then later on he has different one just one time, and then back to the original name - just as one example).

[Mama · Rating 4 out of 5]

Third in a series after #1 Watching and
#2 Waiting

Great read except for all the mistakes in the electronic version through Libby. The editing seemed nonexistent.

In this 3rd book, Riley Sweeney is a trainee at the FBI academy in Quantico, and she marches to her own beat. She has been in the clutches of killers more than once in the 1st two books of the series.
But she has instincts that enable her to step into killers' shoes, and she has to learn to bridle herself because she's in training.
She has multiple irons in the proverbial fire, and she and her fiancé Ryan Paige are working on their relationship as they adjust to being apart while she is at the academy.
I realized that Mr Pierce has written many books about Riley Paige. But they haven't married yet, in this one...

[Cindy · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5. I have listened to audio of all the Riley Page books and now am going back to listen to all the Making Of books. This one didn’t quite do it for me...it just seemed like there were a few gaping holes. And I’m really tired of the Riley/Ryan drama...it’s so over-the-top. She is so unsure of everything it’s annoying. Through all the books she’s on the outs with her superiors but in these, she’s a brand new intern who seems to think she should have the same respect as seasoned agents. It’s just not realistic.

[Shanna Houston · Rating 4 out of 5]

Riddled with editorial issues and at one place it even changes a characters name; still a good storyline and fun quick read.

Riley Sweeney has begun an 18 month training to become an FBI agent. Will she pass the training and become an agent?
Agent Crivaro has been brought in on a strange serial killer case involving barbed wire- “the devil’s rope”. He made need Riley’s help. Can they work together to find the killer?

Page turner and put on the coffee

Normally When I'm reading a book If I get interrupted I can set the book down And come back to it without a problem.This book Any Interruption That I got no matter how small Irritated me To know end. It's not that I couldn't put it down It's that I simply didn't want to I wanted to keep going To see what the next page had to say Blake Pierce Is amazing.

[Julie Pruitt · Rating 5 out of 5]

So glad I happened upon this author!

This is the 3rd book I’ve read by Blake Pierce and I am so glad I found his works! He writes a lot like another favorite of mine, Mary Higgins Clark. The “Making of Riley Page” series has been good suspense and quick to read. Looking forward to book 4!

[Donna ~ The Romance Cover · Rating 4 out of 5]

These books are incredibly addictive and as you can see from my reading list, I am reading them at the rate of knots. I have been devouring this series and every other series this author has written. What I will note, is that the books seem to be getting shorter at the same price point and the editing leaves a lot to be desired. However, the stories just bring me back for more and more and more.

[Donna · Rating 5 out of 5]

An exciting series

I love the story of Riley Paige becoming an FBI agent. I loved this book and learning more about her father.
I'm not sure who edits this author's work but he needs a better one. The story is exceptionally addicting but editing will help. Still giving it five stars.

[Fiona Cleary · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent book as I love all of the Riley page books such an excellent series where I feel like I know the main characters really well; the author is brilliant. One issue is that with many of the kindle books the typos are very frequent and this book was probably the worst. I can ignore it because I really enjoy the content but it is very frustrating.

[deborah s conner · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a great story and was told very well, but the spelling, grammar and words that were out of place were very frustrating. I am not sure if you have a proof reader or not, but that would surely help us to get through the book better. Your story line is wonderful, but grammar and word placement need help. Debby Conner

[Elmy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was as good as first one. But what still bothers me, we don't get much information from the killer himself after he got caught, his thoughts. I also liked the first book for main character reading the book about mind of killer and that he has this ability long before killing. Why did some people choose it? It would be interesting if it got development.

[Lizzie Aquino · Rating 5 out of 5]

Muy bueno, definitivamente me quedé enganchada por la trama, y las escenas de lucha, uff, exquisito.
Nuevamente, elogio al autor por tremenda obra llena de suspenso, emoción, intriga y sobre todo, el sentido de justicia y la dosis de imprudencia que la protagonista tiene, haciéndola ver más humana y que ella también puede cometer errores

[Glo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Twisted

The black man k went in multiple directions. At one point I thought they’d solved the case and it was too easy. Then it went off n a different direction. Overall I enjoyed it there were several typographical errors, by t you was able to figure it out.

[Bob · Rating 2 out of 5]

Really more the proofreading and editing. There are so many words in this book, it's distracting from the content and communicates the author and publisher are rushing to pump these series out faster than they can support. Very unprofessional.

[Susan Stewart · Rating 3 out of 5]

I find it interesting watching Riley Paige grow and mature. I’ve read the first book in the Riley Paige series, “Once Gone,” and I like understanding how she came to that place in her career. However, big however, the amount of typos is so distracting that I have trouble recommending it.

[Federica · Rating 3 out of 5]

will the pattern always be the same: riley risking her life at the very end of the story and ryan being an a*hole until the very end of the story?

still, i like these mistery stories, mostly for the plot twists

[Stacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really love this series (and any of Blake Pierce's books for that matter) but can we all agree that Ryan is a bit of a dick? If I had made a whole romantic evening like that and the response was "what the hell is going on" I would have chucked him out!!

[Tracy Jaegers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it

I feel. so close to Riley. I've read the whole series and feel like she is now an old friend.

[valerie smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent

Another riveting book. I really enjoyed this book had me reading until early hours. Gutted I have to wait until August for the next in the series. Roll on August

Love this series...

Intend to read all of Blake Pierce’s books, especially the Riley Page series. I love the feisty, headstrong main character.
