Ratings and reviews

Danger, suspense, thrilling and totally engrossing, this book delivers. I think my headphones were glued to my ears. This was definitely an exciting story. The story handles the escape of prisoners and follows the ones on death row and how they react upon their escape from the prison. It mostly follows John Kradle a man convicted of killing his family. One prison guard Celine Osbourne especially has it in for John Kradle because of events in her past. Although he professes his guilt she refuses to believe him. Celine along with the help of a con man minimum security inmate called Keeps pursue John relentlessly. That is until Celine figures out that maybe John Kradle is telling the truth and she has helped him with information which could cause another murder. Can she stop it from happening? Is John Kradle innocent or guilty? Meanwhile the group that caused the Jailbreak is causing havoc in other areas as are the other escaped death row inmates. Will the town ever feel safe again and how much blood will be spilled in the Nevada desert? This was a good book, it addressed the inmates personal lives and why some of them were murderers, how they thought and the deadly events they would put in place to ensure their freedom. It will be thrilling and sad, it will make you think about the correction system. How secure are the prisons and how corrupt some of the officers. How many of the prisoners are innocent? How many are psychopathic murderers and extremely dangerous. I enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it. Thanks to Candice Fox for writing a thrilling story and a great job narrating it. Thanks to MacMillan Audio for publishing it and for NetGalley for making it available for me to read.
