I was disappointed in this series. Riley Paige is a female FBI agent with their BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit) chasing serial killers. For some reason, you can only write a strong, smart female character if you make everyone else ..... stupid. I mean, it's the BAU, it's the elite of the elite, and she's the only one who can solve a crime or do ANYTHING? And, she constantly runs off and does stuff without backup, which is just stupid. And, by the third novel she's already committed some police brutality in every novel. You pull your gun on someone and beat them up for basically, nothing, and you are going to get fired. It's a little ridiculous. And.....it's the BAU, in this novel, there's a guy with a chain issue. The BAU doesn't have to go to some jailhouse home schooled psych guy to tell them what the chains mean. And.....what's with all this "Riley just knows things". She should know things based on her training, experience, and instinct. Not some magical way she just "knows". If you are going to write about a smart character......be smart about it. ### ⭐ Really undeveloped *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2016* Who could possibly give this book more than one star? I didn't read the first book in the series and am glad I didn't. The writing jumps over too many details and is too simplistic. The situation just had no reality. It only took me through chapter 2 to give up on it. Please authors, we know it's easy to publish ebooks but you have to at least try to use decent story development skills.I recommend everyone pass on this author. We have a right to receive much more for our money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Needs Better Proofreading *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016* I really like Blake Pierce's book. I have read 4. One little criticism. I wish she would get a better proofreader. I am put offby grammatical errors. It just puts a bit of tarnish on her books. Will still read her books. They are great. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/104539122-once-taken-a-riley-paige-mystery-book-2](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/104539122-once-taken-a-riley-paige-mystery-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
