FBI Agent Ella Dark has studied serial killers from the time she could read, devastated by the murder of her own father, and has gained an encyclopedic knowledge of murderers. When a body mysteriously turns up in a body bag, Ella immediately realizes a new serial killer is on the loose—and that he may already be one step ahead of her….

GIRL, BOUND (An Ella Dark FBI Suspense Thriller) is book #19 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 20,000 five star reviews and ratings.

FBI Agent Ella Dark, 29, is given her big chance to achieve her life’s dream: to join the Behavioral Crimes Unit. Ella’s hidden obsession of gaining an encyclopedic knowledge of serial killers has led to her being singled out for her brilliant mind, and invited to join the big leagues.

But this time Ella finds herself in a cat and mouse chase with no way out, and she must wonder if she is hunting—or the one who is hunted….

A nail-biting and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the ELLA DARK series is a riveting mystery, packed with suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you listening late into the night.

Future books in the series are now available.

Is AI writing Pierce’s recent books?

All of the Ella Dark books have seemed to be written using a set formula. It’s as if the first one went over well, so the same story was used each time with different characters, locations and villains’ motives.

The most recent handful of books have been riddled with repetitive/reused words and phrases, an abundance of alliteration, and an unreasonable number of metaphors and similes. Additionally, though the majority of the books cover only a few days worth of Ella and Ripley’s adventures, this book makes reference to Ella’s years and years of experience and sees her talking about her “old age”. It’s as if a stranger, or possibly a computer, made an attempt at writing the next episode using the aforementioned formula.

This one just wasn’t on par with previous books, and although I will probably have to finish the series, I won’t be recommending it, and I won’t be sad if it comes to an end.
