A definite must read book and series

What began with a request for help from the police department of an obscenely wealthy "town" that had three very gruesome murders, the investigation quickly lead the team towards a few different possibilities, but most weren't prepared for where the leads ultimately took them. It's definitely another intense, extremely complex, and intriguing case for these awesome Agents.
I have to say that I'm really, really unhappy with Ms. Gray right now. I of course loved this book, but that ending was just cruel! I dislike cliffhangers more than anything, and now I (& everyone else!) have to wait until February for the next book! So not fair!! I still love all of your stories and series though. Lol!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

In the authors note in the back of the book, Ms Gray says that if the book stayed with you after the final page to leave a review and fuck did it stay with me. I’ve been reading more and more books where rich men are raping young, innocent, underage girls. It’s scary to know that this isn’t fiction anymore in our world, the only thing fiction about it, is the fact that they get caught!! The Epstein files has really put it front and center and I hope more people realize this shit is happening everyday!!

A Must Read !!

I have one word for this book, WOW ! There are so much going on in this book. I absolutely could not put it down 5+ stars ! If you do not read the Blake Wilder series, you should definitely start, this book pulls so much together on the entire series. I absolutely can’t wait to read the next one. Also, you should definitely check out all of Elle Gray’s books , she has several wonderful series.

Riveting

With each new story on Blake and her team we seem to be drawn deeper into their lives, emotions and thoughts. I am saddened about the change between Blake and Sonny but I am not the Author so it isn’t up to me to steer the story. So looking forward to the next chapter in their lives.

Highly recommend

This in the author is a great read and will always keep you guessing

and there is always something unexpected. I hope the next book releases soon because I really really really really want to know how it ends. Make sure to read some of her books and support an independent author.

Unbelievable, shows that a parent will not stop till they get justice for their child. Angie Chase, said it perfectly, in her review.

Unbelievable that it was a female, but mom had in her own way got, payback for her daughter and others.
What is Sonny for Kit doing, Blake has been pushed over the edge enough.

I'm still a firm believer that it's the Senator.

3 stars is being generous

I usually like this series but this book rubbed me the wrong way. First the story line itself. If you are going to go around arresting criminals, you definitely don't get to pick and choose who you arrest. The Blake character was likable in the beginning but now she is becoming very much unlikable. Her story line with Sonny was promising but seems like yall are trying to move away from that. Your ruining the series and the characters. I'll see where the next story goes but if Blake gets any worse then the next book will definitely be my last. Really about tired of her character any way.

Absolutely genius, once again Elle Grey pulled it off!

The Kill List is absolutely spell binding and filled with twist and turns you don’t see coming. The books about Blake Wilder are so good. I stop everything else I’m reading when one of these comes out. And now I’m going to have to wait again before the next one. They are the best reads ever. You cannot go wrong picking these up and reading them over and over again.

Blake Wilder

I totally loved this series. Blake, her team old and new. It’s a melting pot of personalities that you come to love along with the suspense of Great Crime Fiction!!!! Always love the sprinkles of humor. As always I will be waiting for the next book to continue the journey with Blake and her team. Of course her sister Kit too.

The Kill List - Review

This is a review for book 34 of the Blake Wilder FBI Series by Elle Gray. If you read her books you know they have twists and turns and this one does not disappoint. This one takes an unexpected turn but i hope it gets "Fixed". You sit back and wonder how Elle comes up all these ideas, but all I can say is keep them coming. Thank you.

Blake's Story Continues!

Again, loved the twists and turns. I can't get enough of Blake and her team. I will honestly say I'm proud that Blake is coming out of her emotional shell and not taking any s#&%. I can't wait for the next book!!!

This was a great story about Blake and team going after who is using young girls and going after them with lots of suspense and action and prominent men are involved. This was an awesome story and how this is happening every day to young girls.

This is a great series!

The team that Blake leads are fully fleshed out characters and the plot lines are both a thrill ride and gut wrenching. This is one of my favorite series and I read a LOT of books.

This book was outstanding! With 2 important cases, 1 personal and 1 assigned, Blake & her team were diligent in their investigation. I was left breathless at the ending and can't wait for the next installment.

Still the best

The stories and action are intense and hopefully not all true but this world holds some terrible terrible people, sorry to say. Only one left anxious to see what lies ahead but sorry to see the end.

no ending

Well written but an incomplete ending. The KILL LIST story was interesting, the story of WILDERS sister could have ended better.

Cliff Hanger

Another great book in the Blake Wilder series! The end is definitely a cliff hanger though, and I can't wait for the next one!

exhilarating at every turn!

What can I say….every step of this storyline was action packed. It makes you question everything and need to keep going to the end .
