FBI Agent Ella Dark, 29, is given her big chance to achieve her life’s dream: to join the Behavorial Crimes Unit. Ella has a hidden obsession: she has studied serial killers from the time she could read, devastated by the murder of her own sister. With her photographic memory, she has obtained an encyclopedic knowledge of every serial killer, every victim and every case. Singled out for her brilliant mind, Ella is invited to join the big leagues.

But when a killer strikes in the swamps of Louisiana, Ella soon comes to learn that the real thing is nothing she could expect. Face to face with a real murder, a real killer, and a real ticking clock, Ella realizes she can’t rely on her knowledge. She must learn to trust her instinct, and allow herself to enter the dark canals of a real killer’s mind. If she gets it wrong, her career is at stake.

And so is the next victim’s life.

Will Ella’s talent be an asset? Or the source of her downfall?

A page-turning 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 flipping pages late into the night.

Ratings and reviews

I learned things I didn't know about some of our infamous serial killers. Kept me interested in storyline..although some readers might be bothered with the detailed description of the killings

Officer Madeley going into the diner late at night A SUV out back to long, waitress is concerned about Agent Dark at the prison, questions on pranks she’s getting He has connection inside, wraps truth in secrets, a game. Is she a player, she studies the minds of serial killers. A chilling look of a twisted killer and his game Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

The characters were interesting and events unpredictable most of the time (even when you know a lot about those serial killers referenced in the story). Good enough to be a movie! As for the audio side of things: I could not stop listening. Loved it and really hope they keep this narrator. Wish they would use her for all Blake's books then I might llisten to more of her works. Have already pre-ordered book 2, can't wait!
