    About this audiobook

    Watching is book #1 in a psychological thriller series by #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce.

    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?

    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.

      Why a British narrator. Couldn't finish. It was unbearably absurd.

      I don’t know if it was the narrator or the writing style but it was just very juvenile and I couldn’t get through it.

      Many parts were too fake, childish sounding. Not sure if it was the author’s fault or the narrator’s but I couldn’t finish it.

      The sound quality is so bad that I couldn't get more than a couple of pages into this. It sounds as if it were recorded underwater.
