Books ReviewedAsk LuvemBooks about Elle Gray
- Where should I start?
- If you're new to Elle Gray, The 7 She Saw is a strong entry point: it opens the Blake Wilder FBI Mystery Thriller series and has earned over 21,000 Amazon ratings at 4.4/5, indicating a large, satisfied readership. If you prefer a private investigator setup over a federal one, I See You launches the Pax Arrington series and carries a slightly higher rating of 4.5/5. Both are series openers, so either gives you a clean start without missing prior context.
- What's their writing style?
- Elle Gray centers her fiction on female investigators — a private investigator in one series, an FBI agent in another — suggesting a consistent interest in women working within or alongside law enforcement structures. Her stories sit at the procedural end of the mystery and thriller spectrum, grounded in casework rather than supernatural or cozy elements. The strong ratings across both series point to a readable, direct style that prioritizes plot momentum and character continuity.
- Books we've reviewed
- LuvemBooks has reviewed two Elle Gray titles to date. I See You (Pax Arrington Mysteries Book 1) is the series opener following private investigator Paxton Arrington, rated 4.5/5 across nearly 7,000 Amazon ratings. The 7 She Saw (Blake Wilder FBI Mystery Thriller Book 1) launches her FBI-focused series and has the larger Amazon footprint, rated 4.4/5 from over 21,000 ratings.
- How do her books compare?
- Both reviewed titles are series openers featuring female protagonists in investigative roles, but they differ in institutional setting: I See You follows a private investigator, giving it a more independent, street-level feel, while The 7 She Saw puts an FBI agent at the center, which typically brings larger-scale cases and a federal procedural structure. The 7 She Saw has drawn a significantly larger readership by Amazon rating count, though I See You holds a marginally higher rating at 4.5/5 versus 4.4/5.
- What genre do they write?
- Elle Gray writes in the mystery and thriller genres, with her two reviewed series spanning both: the Pax Arrington books are categorized as mystery, and the Blake Wilder books as thriller. Both series are investigative fiction with female leads, making her a consistent choice for readers who enjoy crime fiction centered on women solving cases.
- What should I read after The 7 She Saw?
- If you've finished The 7 She Saw and want to stay with Elle Gray, I See You is a natural next step — it opens a separate series with a different protagonist (private investigator rather than FBI agent) but should appeal to the same readers drawn to female-led investigative fiction. Alternatively, continuing within the Blake Wilder FBI series with Book 2 would keep you with the same character and case world.

4.4/5
The 7 She Saw launches Elle Gray's Blake Wilder FBI Mystery Thriller series with a protagonist haunted by personal tragedy, an investigation into three murders in a deceptively idyllic Washington coastal town, and a serial format that has since grown to over thirty installments — making this 2020 debut a foundation worth understanding on its own terms.
