–Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)
WATCHING (The Making of Riley Paige—Book One) is book #1 in a new psychological thriller series by #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose free bestseller Once Gone (Book #1) has received over 1,000 five star reviews.
22 year old psychology major—and aspiring FBI agent—Riley Paige finds herself in a battle for her life as her closest friends on campus are abducted and killed by a serial killer. She senses that she, too, is being targeted—and that if she is to survive, she must apply her brilliant mind to stop the killer herself.
When the FBI hits a dead end, they are impressed enough by Riley’s keen insight into the killer’s mind to allow her to help. Yet the killer’s mind is a dark, twisted place, one too diabolical to make sense of, and one that threatens to bring Riley’s fragile psyche crashing down. In this deadly game of cat and mouse, can Riley survive unscarred?
It is also a standalone series, and you do not need to have read the Riley Paige series to jump into this series–which starts at the beginning!
An action-packed thriller with heart-pounding suspense, WATCHING is book #1 in a riveting new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night. It takes readers back 20 plus years—to how Riley’s career began—and is the perfect complement to the ONCE GONE series (A Riley Paige Mystery), which includes 16 books and counting.
WAITING (The Making of Riley Paige—Book 2) is also now available!

Love the chAracter development, kept me intrigued!
Did not Like to be left hanging at the end of the book. Having to buy another book is irritating!
This was an excellent novel and I would read every book written by this author if his books were on Kindle Unlimited. I simply could not put it down and it really kept me guessing which is exceptionally rare.
I have read most of the books in the Riley Paige series. I found this prelude to be rather disappointing. I did like the introduction to her relationship with Ryan, though.
Quite different
Want a read that keeps you guessing? This is it. With just enough detail to make you question so many characters motives till the end. It does have an ending that should make you smile.
Insomnia inducing!
Trite and unbelievable
Can’t pass on a Blake Pierce book!!
This entire series is just excellent.
I thought the book was well written and the story line well developed and suspenseful.
This book was just ok. It told the backstory of the main character featured in a series. I could forgive some of the dumb things she did because of being young. It was not very realistic because she was young. They would not have let her be so involved.
I have become a huge Blake Pierce Fan and recommend him to all my friends. He has a way of keeping your interest in his characters enough so you are anxious to read the next book in the series
This is an intriguing read that kept me wondering what would happen next.
This series is intriguing and fascinating. Always look forward to the next installment.
a suspenseful mystery with a surprising and original ending
Okay it held my attention
Definitely going to follow the series.
It was good, not great!
Kept me interested and left me wanting to read the next book in the series
