Only His

Sadie Price #3

by Rylie Dark

ONLY HIS (A Sadie Price FBI Suspense Thriller) is book #3 in a chilling new series by mystery and thriller author Rylie Dark, which begins with ONLY MURDER (book #1).

Special Agent Sadie Price, a 29-year-old rising star in the FBI’s BAU unit, stuns her colleagues by requesting reassignment to the FBI’s remote Alaskan field office. Back in her home state, a place she vowed she would never return, Sadie, running from a secret in her recent past and back into her old one, finds herself facing her demons—including her sister’s unsolved murder—while assigned to hunt down a new serial killer.

When a young woman is found mauled by a bear—the second case in one week—the authorities chalk it up to a desperate animal, driven by hunger to attack. Nature, as far as the locals are concerned, can be as cruel a killer as any murderer.

But Sadie isn’t convinced. She suspects a serial killer, and when she realizes both victims were young women living alone in cabins, she takes it upon herself to visit a string of isolated, desolate cabins in the wilderness, including one with particular significance—her father’s.

When a third woman is found, Sadie knows she is the only thing standing between this diabolical killer and his innocent, next victim.

But in the forbidding wilderness, in the thick of winter, can Sadie reach the woman before it’s too late? And can she stop this killer all while unearthing the ghosts of her own family’s past?

An action-packed page-turner, the SADIE PRICE series is a riveting crime thriller, jammed with suspense, surprises and twists and turns that you won’t see coming. It will have you fall in love with a brilliant and scarred new character, while challenging you, amidst a barren landscape, to solve an impenetrable crime.

Reviews

I called the bad guy this go around, which is both exciting and a bummer at the same time 😂 but I was most intrigued by the development of the over arching storyline that’s between each book. I’m excited to see where it goes.

[mikey · Rating 1 out of 5]

this one was painstakingly bad. like i predicted the killer the second he appeared bad. there was really not even an attempt at a clever reveal in this book, at least the others tried. it follows its own format to a t every time, and it's bored and tired.

[Night Runner · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am working on the review for this book and series. I did enjoy the series overall but it was serial killer after serial killer in each story all within a very short time period. My review will be copied on all of the stories with a minor variation based on the story line.

The MCs always lose their weapons and each story has them near death. The answers are always stumbled on and the police work was not relevant. To top it off, no evidence can be used to prosecute as the h never followed rules of evidence.

Go in by yourself in a TSTL way to get killed or obtain evidence without a chain of custody... Check!

Make assumptions and ignore obvious signs that you are with the bad guy... Check

Go into bad areas without backup and without telling anyone... Check

No need to worry though as the bad guys will not get a trial.

I do think that the author has talent and hope that she gets lots of feedback to improve the stories overall. She does not use the standard bad guys and adds unique situations and locations. Work with a Detective to learn about the basics of evidence and what will invalidate it.

I will look for other stories by this author.

So this is book three in the Sadie Price FBI series, and it’s got that mix of dark thriller and emotional drama that Rylie Dark is known for. Sadie, the main character, is an FBI agent who’s still dealing with a lot of trauma from her past — her sister’s murder — and this time she’s stationed in Alaska. It starts off with a woman found mauled by a bear, but of course, Sadie suspects something more sinister. Turns out, she might be dealing with a serial killer targeting women living alone in the wilderness. What works is the atmosphere — the Alaskan setting is cold, remote, and kind of haunting. It gives the whole story that tense, isolated vibe that makes thrillers like this so addictive. Sadie’s personal struggles also add emotional weight; she’s not just solving crimes, she’s trying to heal herself in the process. The pacing’s pretty quick — it’s a page-turner — and if you’ve read the first two books, you’ll appreciate how Sadie’s character keeps developing. That said, it’s not perfect. If you’ve read a lot of FBI thrillers, the “serial killer in the wilderness” thing might feel a bit familiar. Some readers have pointed out that the series leans on that formula — one serial killer after another — and some of the side characters don’t get as much depth as Sadie does. A few parts feel a bit rushed or stretched in terms of logic, but that kind of comes with the genre. I’d give it around 3.5 to 4 stars. It’s tense, emotional, and atmospheric, even if it follows some familiar beats. It’s a solid pick if you like fast-paced thrillers with a strong lead and a good dose of psychological depth.

Sadie has to face the fury of nature as the bears seem resolved to attack humans who decided to live in their area in Alaska. Is it just a simple bear attack or there is more lurking behind it? Nobody seems to believe in her idea that someone is setting people up to be murdered until there is proof of that, then the real chase begins with many twists and turns. Her last encounter with her father also does not go as planned, will he ever wake up and be able to tell her the truth about Jessica's disappearance?
Only His has a good plot, although used in other stories, but is well-written and provides good entertainment for the reader.
As a member of the author's ARC team, I downloaded a free copy of this book through BookFunnel and this is my honest opinion.

Another great book!! Dark has a seriously DARK imagination!! And this one wasn’t the craziest!!! But I loved it!! Quick read, but it’s less than 200 pages so you can pretty much read it in a day!! Not too many typos so maybe new editors or somebody got the boot?!? I don’t know, but this author doesn’t deserve to have her work marred by typos that editors are paid to catch!! Otherwise I love & highly recommend all of Rylie Dark’s work!! Keep up the good work & I’ll keep reading them!! I DO seriously want Sadie to get together with Logan already, & I’m missing Deputy Jane in this book!! But I love Caz & there’s a few new folks that are sprinkled in throughout!! Overall, Read. This. Book. Y’all!!!

Another marvelous read

## This was very different with the bear attacks which made it even more interesting. Agent Price suspects foul play. Even though she doesn't have everything right, she knows she's onto something. Of course once again the Sheriff doesn't believe her. However, once the tox screens are revealed, he can't dispute the evidence and gets on board. I enjoyed seeing the Sheriff so jealous of the male attention Price gets. It's funny. He doesn't want to like her but can't seem to help himself. Well done. Looking forward to the next book although tbh five bucks seems high for 155 pages (this book).

Only His - Rylie Dark
A Sadie Price Series Book 3
5 Stars

A bear is attacking the locals and her dad is finally about to give her some answers on her sister's death..... Or not.

This is another amazing instalment in the story of Sadie Price. I couldn't put it down the trill of the story, the constant guessing and then the OMG of who had done it.

The ending gives you enough answers to be a happy reader but leaves enough unanswered that I am keen to move on to the next book.

Rylie Dark has some amazing skills.

[Ellen White · Rating 4 out of 5]

With the folder the sheriff had given her
Even the wrath, and frighten she wanted answers
Cabin, her father, over decade, since sister died
Discrepancy in report, wanting the truth
Before answering he falls into cardiac arrest
Someone she almost dated, nor even as a suspect
Would she get answers, the reasons she was back in Alaska
A good riveting, well flowing plot, one will enjoy reading
Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Another book in the series where we don't find out what happened to Sadie's sister. Just a few tidbits here or there and then her father dies- the one with the possible answers. I however am done.

This books finds women mauled by bears in Alaska and it looks like someone is leading them with trails of food to the victims. The answer was obvious to me.

[Lindsay · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved listening to another one of Sadie’s cases. Looking forward to the book her and cooper finally get together. Excited for the next book where we hopefully come closer to finding out what happened to her sister, Jessica.

[Laura Poppenwimer · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a hard series to put down, just want to keep reading on and on. The plots are still fresh and interesting and the character interactions are even deeper. The pages fly by and before you know it you are to the end, but also know there is more to come in the next book.

It was predictable and at times unbelievable, but I still enjoy the characters…

the murder was carefully plotted but i could guess who it was the moment the character entered the story

Only three more books in the series half way done so excited

This series is becoming boring.
Same old stuff. It just happens in a cold place.

J'ai beaucoup aimé l'intrigue avec les ours, et il y a eu de l'émotion dans ce tome. Vivement la suite

Really enjoyed!

I really enjoyed this, but am frustrated at the lack of knowing the story within the story. It was a good book though.

[Sherlyn K. Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brand new book and ONLY HIS had me flipping pages from beginning to end non-stop!

And with that ending, where is BOOK 4, I need it NOW! Rylie Dark is an awesome author that writes with finesse, amazing plot, wonderful characters that you can fall for, and it all takes place in the majestic state of ALASKA! What is bear attacks just outside from Anchorage, but 3 in 2 days, is very unusual! Not normal! And ONLY HIS THEREFORE TELLS EXACTLY WHY IT'S NOT NORMAL! Enjoy this book! It's Great!
