Review: Best one in an amazing romantic suspense series
Rating: 5 out of 5

Another excellent addition to what is a fantastic romantic suspense series. Despite being 6 books in in less than a year of story time where an incredible (and somewhat unbelievable) amount of stuff has happened to the hero and heroine, Nick and Sam still feel fresh and interesting, and their evolvement as a couple and now a fledgeling family is something readers can be emotionally invested in. The Fatal series (and especially this book) has the perfect mix of sizzle, sweetness, humour, policework/suspense, and drama to be one of the most well-rounded series out there. One thing Ms. Force excels at is forging and developing strong, believable connections between her characters that bring the story to life: as readers, we can experience Sam's relationship with her partner Freddie, her deepening friendships with other females in her life, the bonds of sisterhood, the joy of being a parent, etc. as if they were our own. The series started out on an already-high note but has gotten better with each book as Ms. Force has grown as an author and her writing has gotten tighter and more polished without sacrificing the snark that makes Sam such a loveable and kickass heroine.Definitely recommended for Fatal series fans--it's perhaps my favourite so far!-- and also for fans of romantic suspense looking for a solid set of books featuring the same (incredibly and loveably perfect) couple and enough murder and mayhem to satisfy even the most bloodthirsty of readers.
