Book excerpt: A two-book mystery bundle by debut author Ava Strong and #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce, author of ONCE GONE, a #1 bestseller on Amazon with over 1,000 five star reviews! Here is a bundle of the first books in two different series—the Ilse Beck FBI Suspense Thriller series by Ava Strong and the Adele Sharp Mystery series by Blake Pierce—all in one convenient place. This bundle offers a great introduction to each series with over 100,000 words of reading. In NOT LIKE US (Book #1) by Ava Strong, FBI Special Agent Ilse Beck barely escaped a serial killer in the Pacific Northwest—and now, he is hunting her again. Or is he? Beck, a niche expert in serial killer survivors, has faced many monsters, and seen shocking cases—but this one may be the worst of all. Nothing can prepare Ilse for her new patient, a survivor from a near murder by a serial killer. The patient, paranoid, believes she is still being watched by the killer. And when the killer claims a new victim, the FBI needs Ilse’s help to solve it. This case and this killer, though, strike too close to home for Ilse’s comfort. When she realizes that she herself is being targeted, the trauma of her own past comes full circle. Can Ilse use her brilliant instincts to enter the mind of this killer and stop him before he strikes again? And will she save herself? In LEFT TO DIE (Book #1) by Blake Pierce, FBI special agent Adele Sharp is a German-and-French raised American with triple citizenship—and an invaluable asset in bringing criminals to justice as they cross American and European borders. When a serial killer case spanning three U.S. states goes cold, Adele returns to San Francisco and to the man she hopes to marry. But after a shocking twist, a new lead surfaces and Adele is dispatched to Paris, to lead an international manhunt. Adele returns to the Europe of her childhood, where familiar Parisian streets, old friends from the DGSI and her estranged father reignite her dormant obsession with solving her own mother’s murder. All the while she must hunt down the diabolical killer, must enter the dark canals of his psychotic mind to know where he will strike next—and save the next victim before it’s too late. Dark and suspenseful crime thrillers, the bestselling ILSE BECK and ADELE SHARP series are unputdownable mystery and suspense novels. With compelling and perplexing psychological thrillers, rife with twists and jaw-dropping secrets, they will make you fall in love with their brilliant new female protagonists, while they keep you shocked late into the night. Books #2 in each series series—NOT LIKE HE SEEMED and LEFT TO RUN—are also available.
