Here is a bundle of the first books in two Blake Pierce series—the Rachel Gift series and Jessie Hunt Psychological Suspense Thriller series—all here in one convenient place. This bundle offers a great introduction to Blake Pierce’s series with over 140,000 words of reading.
In HER LAST WISH (A Rachel Gift FBI Suspense Thriller—Book 1), FBI Agent Rachel Gift, 33, unparalleled for her ability to enter the minds of serial killers, is a rising star in the Behavioral Crimes Unit—until a routine doctor visit reveals she has but a few months left to live. Not wishing to burden others with her pain, Rachel decides, agonizing as it is, not to tell anyone—not even her boss, her partner, her husband, or her seven-year-old daughter. She wants to go down fighting, and to take as many serial killers with her as she can. A serial killer strikes in the Virginia area, targeting women who seek fertility treatments. As Rachel enters his sick and twisted mind, she struggles to understand his motive, or the connection between the victims. Worse, the case strikes too close to home, bringing up memories of her own fertility treatments, and her failed mission to have a second child. As she seeks insight from a diabolical, jailed serial killer, she immediately realizes it’s a mistake. Can he see right through her? Can Rachel keep her secret and keep her deteriorating health at bay long enough to finish the job? Can she fulfill her own bucket list before she dies? And can she keep herself from descending down the dark hole of her own traumatic past?
In THE PERFECT WIFE (A Jessie Hunt Psychological Suspense Thriller—Book 1), criminal profiler-in-training Jessie Hunt is sure she's finally put the darkness of her childhood behind her. She and her husband, Kyle, just moved from a cramped downtown Los Angeles apartment into a Westport Beach mansion. Kyle's promotion has them swimming in money. And Jessie is on the verge of getting her Master's degree in forensic psychology, the last step in her dream of becoming a criminal profiler. But soon after their arrival, Jessie begins to notice a series of strange developments. The neighbors—and their au pairs—all seem to be hiding secrets. The mysterious yacht club Kyle is desperate to join is rife with cheating spouses, and with troubling rules of its own. And the notorious serial killer being held at the psychiatric hospital where Jessie is completing her degree seems to know more about her life than is normal—or safe. As her world starts to unravel, Jessie begins to question everything around her—including her own sanity. Has she truly uncovered a disturbing conspiracy buried within a sunny, wealthy Southern California beach town? Does the mass murderer she's studying really somehow know the origin of her private nightmares? Or has her tortured past finally come back to claim her?

This is the third Blake Pierce Bundle I read with two series starter novels included. I find the novels exceptional reads with varying themes that exploit the authors' abilities to build heart-rending suspense, describe anxiety-inducing situations, and create fearsome, chaotic killers.
In Her Last Wish our main character, Behavioral Crimes Unit specialist Rachel Gift, finds out that she has a short time to live due to cancer, just before she initiates an investigation with the possibility of the killer targeting women looking to begin invitro-fertilization as a means to get pregnant. To complicate matters she can't wrap her mind around her impending death, she therefore decides to keep things secret from her partner, her boss, and her family.
The Perfect Wife is a story about Jessie Hunt who is training to become a profiler of serial killers while she and her husband have moved into a seaside community that embraces the nautical culture as a means to demonstrate status and accomplishment, but Jessie doesn't realize that the move has been a way for her husband to meet new clients, raise his status in his firm, and grab the brass ring that he believes he deserves. Can Jessie keep up with her husband's aspirations?
As always these books are filled with building suspense, horror-inducing situations, and characters that are memorable. The writing is succinct, laser-focused, and every bit as suspenseful as all I've read before. That's why I keep returning to these series.
