Prison Break
Shootings, prison break, carjackings, and murders…
Just another Monday at Blake Wilder’s office.
With the dissolution of the Black Cell unit.
It seems that the change that FBI agent Blake Wilder dreaded has been forced upon her.
Still reeling from the aftermath of the shakeup, Blake packs up and attempts to adjust to her new reality.
Upon arrival at the new office, the team receives an alert about escaped convicts from a prison transport traveling from Indiana.
At the scene of the crime, the team finds one dead guard and a ton of bullet casings.
Three inmates have escaped, and the rest of the prisoners in the transport have been rounded up.
While searching for the missing convicts, the team follows a trail of car-jackings, murders, and full-blown chaos.
What’s the connection between the prisoners and who were the masked men that helped them escape?
Deception, betrayal, murder, and full-blown mayhem.
It seems there’s simply no rest for the wicked.

This isn't the end of the series but this is the last of the audiobooks that I have, so the rest will have to wait until I can get them all, unfortunately.
I really enjoyed this series although I must admit to getting really frustrated with Blake Wilder, also with Elle Gray's writing, I guess. The same things were repeated in every book, such as her stomach Aching etc. I know very petty of me. lol But also, She all but bullied all of her suspects which was irritating at some points. It bothered me most when the subjects were innocents.

Prison Break is Book #24 in the Blake Wilder FBI Mystery Thrillers series by Elle Gray. This is a binge-worthy cocktail of high-stakes suspense, emotional depth, and relentless twists. Across the sprawling series, we follow Blake Wilder (a fiercely intelligent FBI agent with a shadowy past as well as a personal vendetta) as she hunts killers, unravels conspiracies, and confronts the ghosts that refuse to stay buried.
What made this series stand out for me was the great balance of grit, intrigue, and emotion. The cases are sharp, fast-paced, and satisfyingly unpredictable, but it was Blake’s personal journey - her resilience, vulnerability, and razor-sharp instincts - that hooked me and had me completely invested in her and the outcome of each story.
If you love strong, complex heroines, morally tangled mysteries, and a series that keeps upping the stakes without losing its emotional core, then this is sure to be your next obsession.
A gripping, fast-burning thriller series that’s as much about justice as it is about survival - and it was impossible to read just one.
Happy Reading…

Their first case is 3 violent prisoners have escaped and they are tasked with finding them and bringing them in.

Another Terrific Blake Wilder Adventure
Politics, most people find it an abhorrent career choice. Changing your mind and tactics on the whim of the changing winds, not for Blake, doing the right thing whether some is watching or not, that’s how she lives and works. She gets that her job is to protect the public and not political hacks. It starts out, No Way and then we get a little sliver lining before Blake, Astra and her team break out their super powers and save the day. Love this series.

very sad
Both Blake and Astra seem harsh and aged somehow.
Stripped of her team as a result of Senator Hedlund’s machinations, Blake ponders her options until a new opportunity-and dangerous assignment-arises, keeping her team intact and removed from the hierarchal chain of command.
A prison escape is the assignment, the escapees dangerous felons.

Prison Break(Blake Wilder FBI Mystery Thriller Book 24)
OMG!!!!!!!! This book was amazing, it had a lot of twists and turns. It really seems to show how a very dangerous and manipulative prisoner can get what he wants from innocent people. I was truly amazed how far people will go to please and convict. I can't wait to read the next book.

Another great read, but...
I found this book to be too predictable. Elle Gray is one of my favorite authors, and the Blake Wilder series is one of my all-time favorites. However, this book was the easiest to predict of the entire series. Still a great read and I can't wait for the next in the series.

Prison Break book 24 of Blake Wilder FBI Mystery Thriller
As usual this book was excellent. From the beginning of the book to the end I was on the edge of my seat to see how the story was going to carry on. I was not disappointed. I look forward to reading the rest of her books. Only hope she will write more of this series, 28 books do not seem like near enough. This is not the only series I have read of hers. I have also read Sweetwater Falls, they were all very good.

Family
I just finished book 24 in this series. These characters have become friends...family. I will miss them. I love stories that hold my attention for that long, but truly hate for them to end. Maybe in a couple of years I can revisit...starting with book 1. Very much worth it.

Some of the best!
As I started to pivot towards this genre, it was Elle Gray that pulled me in. Since that time, I have explored many different author's work. Ms. Gray has always been a top notch author. The Blake Wilder series is one I'll never tire of.

Amazing
Another amazing case for Blake and the team, I honestly felt a little sad for them at the end of their last case when they were all stood down, but thank DD Church for taking them to a higher level. However I would like to see Blake find a good man.😊

This book in the Blake Wilder series is not my favorite. The story was kind of blah. It didn't have the usual "kick" to it. The "banter" between Astra and Kaminski was tiresome and what would be illegal (sexual harassment) in real life.

I do enjoy these stories and the side characters that go along the way, but sometimes I think that Blake needs to retire and open her own shop.of highly sought out resource for the various government agencies and for the private sector that at times needs help too.

Blake dealing with job security is just like any other job, except more dangerous. Dealing with the different powers that be only adds more stress. Her love of jazz and Scotch says it all.

Nothing compares
How Ms. Gray does it is beyond me. She captivates her readers with such brilliance and knowledge it's astounding. As always, I am looking forward to #25 with a mix of anticipation and deep regard!

July 31, 2024Not the author’s best work. The ending was quite blah.. nothing to look forward to at all in upcoming books. After an exciting story line it feels like it just fizzled out in the end.
