Women are turning up dead in the rural outskirts of Virginia, killed in grotesque ways, and when the FBI is called in, they are stumped. A serial killer is out there, his frequency increasing, and they know there is only one agent good enough to crack this case: Special Agent Riley Paige.
  
  Riley is on paid leave herself, recovering from her encounter with her last serial killer, and, fragile as she is, the FBI is reluctant to tap her brilliant mind. Yet Riley, needing to battle her own demons, comes on board, and her hunt leads her through the disturbing subculture of doll collectors, into the homes of broken families, and into the darkest canals of the killer's mind. As Riley peels back the layers, she realizes she is up against a killer more twisted than she could have imagined. In a frantic race against time, she finds herself pushed to her limit, her job on the line, her own family in danger, and her fragile psyche collapsing.
  
  Yet once Riley Paige takes on a case, she will not quit. It obsesses her, leading her to the darkest corners of her own mind, blurring the lines between hunter and hunted. After a series of unexpected twists, her instincts lead her to a shocking climax that even Riley could not have imagined.
  
  A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, ONCE GONE marks the debut of a riveting new series-and a beloved new character-that will leave you turning pages late into the night.

MISSING LINK》t. briggs & v. stirling by TheBestWall

"Normal blood is a very specific color. This isn't it. This is wrong. There's something in it. Like it was poisoned or something." Felicity paused, the words dying in her throat, her heart pounding. Poisoned-like Scarlett Hawkins. No. She couldn't think about that. Not now. Felicity Elizabeth Briggs isn't normal. Not that being the daughter of two renowned FBI agents was ever "normal" but ever since that frightful day in the lab six years ago when her Aunt Scarlett Hawkins was brutally murdered right in front of her, Felicity has been extra abnormal. She doesn't know why she can see the things that she does, but she isn't alone. After a string of serial murders that occur in her very own boarding school, the FBI arrive on the scene and Felicity is once again reunited with her parents who she hasn't seen in years. Not only that, but since the last time she saw them, they've met and looked over kids her age who are just as abnormal as she is. When a new case involving a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas requires her parents and the other Naturals' help, Felicity agrees to join them and along the way uncovers old secrets from her Aunt's unsolved murder from all those years ago. *updates roughly once a month

Lies - Criminal Minds || Spencer Reid Fanfiction by bekah-x

{Book Two} COMPLETED - SPOILERS PRIOR TO SEASON 12 It's been two and a half years since Melanie Hotchner last stepped foot inside the BAU in Quantico, Virginia. During that time almost everything has changed, including the new BAU in Albany, New York. "You have to heal, Reid." He nodded his head and smiled. "I have. In my own way. I'm with Dylan now." "I know that. But just because you've moved on and you're with someone else, doesn't mean you've forgotten or gotten over what you and Melanie had." They say time is a healer, but not everybody can be healed. The endless respect everyone once held for Melanie is now shrinking, running tension and emotions high. "Profilers. We're logical, observant, fast. We're not sneaky or suspicious or sly or liars, Spence. We shouldn't be doing this. This isn't who we are. And if you're even a shred of the man I fell in love with, you'll realise just how mad this is." But as usual, Melanie's past finds a way of catching up with her, and begs the question; has too much water gone under the bridge for her and Spencer? Old ghosts come back to haunt her and have her running back to what she's always known. "The moment you're perceived as weak, you already are." * * * In no way affiliated with CBS, no copyright breach intended. All rights remaining. Book One: Honesty.

As Long As She Lives (full published version!) by DarcyConroy

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.

Hello Darkness by shauna_philp

Charley Beckett-perfectly sane, normal, Charley Beckett-counts everything. Years since her parents' unsolved murder: fifteen. Bodies she's found dead: three. Puncture wounds on each of their throats: two. People who believe her when she says vampires are to blame: zero. Since her parents' murder, she's tried to get past her hallucinations, PTSD, and her reputation as the little red-haired girl police found screaming about monsters that didn't-surely, couldn't-exist. But there's this story-conspiracy theory-swirling around her small town that says her father was part of a secret government experiment, one that would prove vampires weren't legends at all. And Charley can't move on. Especially when she stumbles upon a dead girl with the same bloody puncture wounds as her parents-and someone follows her home. Left with no one who believes her, Charley breaks into the abandoned facility where her father once worked, desperate to find the truth. But she's not the only one after answers. Victor, a handsome vampire, is there to convince her that not only is she perfectly sane, but he's the only one that can save her from those who seek to abuse her connection to the government's experiments. However, when Victor knows details about her parents' death that only the murderer could, Charley will need to learn to trust herself, no matter how crazy her thoughts may seem. If she doesn't, she'll go from counting bodies to counting her last heartbeats...one...two...three...nothing. "Maybe someone heard my screams or maybe the reaper wears combat boots..."
