About this ebook

NOT LIKE US (An Ilse Beck FBI Suspense Thriller—Book 1) is the debut novel in a new series by mystery and suspense author Ava Strong.

FBI Special Agent Ilse Beck, victim of a traumatic childhood in Germany, moved to the U.S. to become a renowned psychologist specializing in PTSD, and the world's leading expert in the unique trauma of serial-killer survivors. By studying the psychology of their survivors, Ilse has a unique and unparalleled expertise in the true psychology of serial killers. She had no idea, though, that she would become an FBI agent herself.

Nothing, though, can prepare Ilse for her new patient, a survivor from a roadside brush with 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?

A dark and suspenseful crime thriller, the ILSE BECK series is a breathtaking page-turner, unputdownable from the first word. A compelling and perplexing mystery, rife with twists and jaw-dropping secrets, it will make you fall in love with a brilliant new character, while it keeps you shocked late into the night.

Books #2, #3 and #4 in the series—NOT LIKE HE SEEMED, NOT LIKE YESTERDAY and NOT LIKE THIS—are also available.

I didn't particularly enjoy this book and towards the end, during the anti-climax (I don't want too much away ) it was too far-fetched taking into consideration all the circumstances. The book was free, so I'd say read the book and draw your own conclusions. Some may love it, I just didn't...

Not Like Us is the first book in the Ilse Beck FBI Suspense Thriller series and is a good start to the series. I enjoyed this thriller. The characters are interesting and the story has danger and suspense. I did find that the end dragged on a little too long. I read and reviewed this book with no obligation. 3.5 stars

I finished in one day. But, I would advise you to keep the lights on while reading on your Kindle! Twists and turns I didn't see coming. Great author!
