Great as always but needed too much luck
A good read,as always, but relied too much on luck to the end. Still a most enjoyable read to the end

Jet Escape is an awesome end to an amazing series. I will miss Jet and hope to see her again in the future. It would be nice if the books were turned into movies soon.

A very selfish character.
I understand the motivation of jet she is a mother trying to protect her child. What I don’t understand callous disregard of the people friends, who die around her and Matt. The author has them trundling along without any acknowledgment of the people who have help them and then were killed. That’s why I say she is a selfish character. She’s also a bad agent. Not the best just mediocre how do you kill an adversary and not check him for vital information, how do you go into a town after being pursued and not realize that there are vulnerable areas such as a bell tower. How do you confront an adversary who has tried to kill you twice and you don’t check him for his phone to find out who he is. These are things that personally take me out of the story and make me shake my head. I gave it a three because the storyline is good not great but I do not like the collateral damage they leave behind. The series is worth reading except for these bits, not sure I will continue you may like it though.

I am struggling with rating this book. I really love the Jet character and her bad "assedness" (not a word?) The author tells a good story, and there's lot of action and intrigue. But there's some reoccurring themes that I'm growing weary of. It always takes quite a few chapters up front to start the story, lots of it is on characters that may or may not be major characters, sometimes seems pointless to me. My biggest problem is that anybody in the book who is a "good Samaritan" and assists Jet in her constant struggles against dangerous people, ends up tortured, dismembered, slaughtered. Just once, it would be nice for somebody to help them and live!
I'm at a crossroads, after reading the first 9 books of the series, do I continue? I have that morbid curiosity to continue, but don't know if I can mentally take it anymore!

Well Jet, Matt & Hannah were definitely in deep trouble during this c hapter of the Jet saga and man they have some very nasty people after them and its only thanks to an inability of the differing faction to work together that gets Jet and co through the mess surrounding them.......and of course there are still forces out for them of which they are not fully aware.
So, Haiti is defo off the bucket list after all the tropubles they faced and I'm not sure how many more "friends" they have l;eft as they seem to get knocked off very regularly.....but.......still an enjoyable read and adds to the flavour of the whole saga, especially with the travelouge that is happening....crickey, if Kosovo is deemed safe then things must be dire.

I thought i was finished with Jet and Matt and Hannah, but i read the first chapter and damn, there i went. It must be like crack cocaine because once you start, you cannot stop. This was a thrill a minute escape adventure like nothing i have ever read. Even more exciting than previous books if that is even possible.You have to root for these poor people. Sadly, anyone who makes the mistake of helping them rarely ends up well, but those are the breaks i guess. As i write this i have just downloaded Jet 10. No idea where it will end, but i cant stop. What a great formula Blake has, and what brilliant characters he has created.

A totally addictive series and very difficult to even put down for me.
Jet is a seriously strong and deadly operative, yet also can show some incredible and tender feelings. I don't understand how to put these together, but Mr Blake manages this apparent dichotomy with ease. I don't want to give you anything as a spoiler, but recommend,if high performing characters a lots of action are your style, try the first of the series. I believe you going to want all 16 books in the series and hopefully another dozen or two will come along.

A fantastic series
I have to admit that I've never seen anyone (real or fictional) have so many people after them as Jet and Matt. Lol! I honestly don't know who I feel more sorry for... Hannah or the numerous innocent people who have suffered due to having any kind of relation with Jet &/or Matt. It certainly makes me dislike the bad guys/gals even more. Get ready for an action packed, intense, and absolutely crazy adventure with this unique family.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

I don’t doubt when you’ve seen too much in the CIA you would be disenfranchised, why look what the Democrats stoup to in today’s world? The life Jet & Matt lead is really deplorable, what they have to do to stay alive? The people after them are some of the worst on this earth. Blake’s description of some happenings is almost too graphic. He eventually gets them to some peace and out of Havana into Kosovo. 5

Always on the Run
Another nail biter... wondering which assassin would get to Jet and Matt first. On the one hand it troubles me to see, even in a novel, the brutality that some people demonstrate to keep their loathsome place in society... But, on the other hand, there are examples of selfless giving and caring from others. Such is life on earth. Jet and Matt appear to be cleaners... ridding us of some of the filth.

lost one star
This book lost one star from the five stars, I normally give this series. The reduction in rating is due to the author, torturing and or killing all the people that help jet and May. I think it’s kind of sad that some of the helpful people can’t live. The bad guys on the other hand can get shot stabbed drowned, poisoned electrocuted and still come back two or three times to do their nasty Deeds. Deeds.

Notice: Library loan. I’ve read quite a few of the Jet series, so it’s okay that I read this one out of order. It’s another great story, with the usual dead bodies, family upheaval, escape from seemingly impossible situations I’ve come to really like. I’m exhausted when I finish one of Blake’s books!

After escaping from a gun battle at a Colombian monastery, Jet must risk all to evade pursuers as they hunt her and her loved ones across South America.
I love this series for continuous action. Jet is always on the move and the reader never knows what's going to happen next or where they're going. The bad guys are B A D. The tension ramps up higher with Jet protecting her daughter, Hanna.

Typical Jet addition. Matt, Hannah, and Jet are being hunted.
At this point they need to use some of the diamonds to have plastic surgery, find an island somewhere to settle, and pay people to bring them whatever they desire, and then they will not have to deal with so much chaos.
Nothing really happens in this book. It all seems to be a set up for book #10.

I actually found myself holding my breath a few times with this book. Amazon offered 3 months of Kindle Unlimited a while back and decided this was the series I wanted to read. They are violent, so some people may not like them. To me they are some of the best I have read!

awesome
An awesome book as all of Robert Blake’s books are especially the Jet series. I’m about to start the 10th in the series and there is no reason to think it won’t be excellent as well.

Too many psychopaths, exceedingly violent
Although I thought that the violence was excessive, I hated putting the book down. Sometimes I had to just to lower my blood pressure. I would play a few games of sudoku and pick it up again.

Good but not my favorite
I can say the unrelenting hunting of Jet and her daughter, incidental to the hunt for Matt, makes the story to have multiple jails visits and a dose of too much happenstance. Still, I love the character (Jet) and her search for normalcy for Hanna.

This imaginative novel has destructive encounter in such locations as Columbia, Venezuela, Haiti and Cuba. There are several pursuers who are sadistic, psychopathic, and sociopaths who leave behind many unfortunates in their paths.

Better
Back up to 4 stars. This book changed up some of the plot and was more interesting than the last two. I'm recommending it.
