    About this audiobook

    "“A MASTERPIECE OF THRILLER AND MYSTERY. Blake Pierce did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page.”
    --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)

    ALMOST LOST is book #2 in a new psychological thriller series by USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose #1 bestseller Once Gone (Book #1) (a free download) has received over 1,000 five star reviews.

    When a divorcee vacationing in the British countryside puts out an ad for an au pair, Cassandra Vale, 23, broke, still reeling from the ruins of her last placement in France, takes the job without hesitation. Wealthy, handsome and generous, with two sweet children, she feels nothing can go wrong.

    But can it?

    Treated to the best England has to offer, and with France out of sight, Cassandra dares to believe she finally has a moment to catch her breath—until a startling revelation forces her to question the truths of her tumultuous past, her employer, and her very own sanity.

    A riveting mystery replete with complex characters, layers of secrets, dramatic twists and turns and heart-pounding suspense, ALMOST LOST is book #2 in a psychological suspense series that will have you turning pages late into the night.

    Book #3 in the series--ALMOST DEAD—is available for pre-order!

    • 3/5
      The storyline was better than book 1 but Cassie remains a weak and pathetic mouse.
    • 5/5
      Cassie still finds herself living with a rather complex family although at the beginning they are all smiles and very friendly. Her broken psyche and low self-esteem lead her to take wrong steps and assume wrong things about a relationship with her employer who is a compulsive liar. As in the previous book, she is highly dependent on her meds and when she doesn´t take them she is almost delirious and sees or hears things that are not there. The children in the family also hide their secrets and the plot will only totally unravel at the end.

      The main character - Cassie - seems to end this story much more self-centered and reliable and definitely in search of healing from her past issues than before. Great entertaining!

      Now this is one crazy story for this poor, young, just trying to make it girl Cassandra Vale.
      After leaving her previous employer, Cassandra meets up with a friend who recommends a job for her with a family she worked for at one time. At first, Cassandra balks, as she is so not ready for another nanny position, but circumstances force her to call, and of course she ends up taking it. And this leads to one heck of a crazy, crazy ride. Not to mention, there is still backlash surrounding her from her previous job.

      I don’t want to give too much detail as it would be easy to give away too much since at this point both books so far are too intertwined. I enjoyed this book more than the first and I’m definitely looking forward to book # 3.
