A definite must read book and series!!!

This was another intense and suspenseful case for this awesome group of Agents. However, there were a few intriguing and unexpected developments that were a complete surprise to the teams, especially for Blake. I have a feeling that things are going to get really crazy in the next book! It's definitely not a story or series that you'll want to miss!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

Ms. Gray, I have to admit that I kinda hate your face right about now. Lol! That ending was just plain mean!! However, because I absolutely love your work, as well as this awesome series, I guess I will forgive you this time. ;) Thank you for sharing your amazing and incredible talents with us.

I had forgotten how much Blake gets herself hurt, you would think that for someone of her experience and knowledge that she would not put herself in compromised situations and allow the sub to get the drop on her. This is one of those things that frustrate me. On the other had, this book got my confidence back as I'm usually good at figuring the who and the what in the plots but recently, read a book that I did not see the who or the what and I thought I was losing my touch but it turns out that I did not as I got my grove back on this one. I do think the author needs to start wrapping up this series and give Blake and Kit a happy ending.

Double Cross(Blake Wilder FBI Mystery Thriller Book 27)

OMG!!!!!!!! This book was scary and amazing. I Blake sure finds the scariest and nost dangerous cases. This one she is taking on the Arisa cartel, and the are as dangerous and deadly sociopaths. Blake and her team go undercover to catch these guys as well as the outlaw bikers they use as muscle. They catch the bad guys, but Blake is stabbed in the leg. I can't wait to see what kind of trouble finds Blake and her team next.

so riveting

Another great and suspenseful case for Blake and the team along with Sonny and his team. It is also amazing that Blake is finally relaxing and moving into a relationship. I so look forward to their next case with Sonny transferring up to Seattle so they can be together

Wow! The best book in the series!!!!

I have read the entire Blake Wilder series and I could not put this down until the very twisted ending. Seriously, I read this book in one day because you get hooked from the first page. BRAVO!!!! Elle Gray is one of the very best writer of suspense and leaving you breathless when you read the last sentence.

Crazy good!

Typical Blake Wilder fashion all the way. So engaging and intense. But, that ending?? Wow!! Don't skip to the end....it won't mean anything unless you read the whole book. I really didn't see that coming!

This book had Blake and Astra and their team undercover with the drug cartel. Sonny and his team were helping, as well. Lots of action in this book!

I received a digital ARC of this book, and this is my honest and unsolicited review.

I've always liked Elle Gray books, but gotten into reading other authors lately. After Double Cross, I think I'll be getting back to reading a lot of Elle Gray.
