5 stars!!
Amazing books,
amazing author!!!
I know
I'm breaking a book-reviewer rule here not writing a review for each book of
the series but I have my reasons:
1.
I'm lazy :D
2.
They are soo good that I didn't even stop between books to write about them. It
was one after another. They are addictive, still feel the
hangover.
3.
I'm lazy :p
Ok,
so I fell in love with Marie Force's books when I first read The Wreck. Then
the Treading Water Trilogy made me a Marie Force addict. I've read all
her books and I love them all. This series was in my TBR list forever but I
really don't know what made me wait so long to read them. Marie Force never disappoints.
I've become a Fatal junkie. These books keep you reading -nonstop- until the
end and then you want more, more and more. I have read similar books but in
most of them I could determine who the killer was. In the Fatal series I NEVER figured out who the bad guy (or girl)
was. I love the fact that at some point in the book you say Ha! I have this figured out, he/she
killed her/him because this, this and that... yippie...
...and
guess what, you are so damn WRONG! She writes in a way that you can't pinpoint
the mastermind behind the chaos until she decides it's time for you to know.
Sometimes the bad guy comes out for the first time when you are more than half way through the book. Cool! ... I
know. Let me just say I was never bored.
The
main characters are Samantha Holland and Nick Cappuano. Sam is a badass,
kickass Detective Sergeant, later Detective Lieutenant. She takes very
seriously her job. Her life hasn't been easy; her mother left, her marriage
failed, had four miscarriages, her quadriplegic father's shooter is nowhere to
be found, and after a glorious night with Nick, she never heard or saw
him, not until six years later when
Nick’s friend Senator John O’Connor is murdered and she is in charge of the
investigation. Nick is 6 feet and 4 inches of HOTNESS and also, he is his
Senator friend’s chief of staff. His parents were both teenagers when they had
him so his grandma took care of him in her way but something was missing and he
found it when he spent a night with Sam. But Sam never returned his calls. After
six years they reunite and the connection they felt years ago was there, buzzing
and vibrating like time and distance never happened.
If you
like thrillers and romance you are going to love this series. Sam may be a
badass detective but when off duty, she enjoys wearing Manolos and Jimmy Choos
and some Vera Wang. And you also are going to love the other characters. They
are so funny!! I have to admit that ok, Nick is hot and I love his character
but I have a soft spot for Freddie Cruz. He is effing PERFECT! He is funny and smart but very humble. And there is Chief
Holland, Sam’s dad. The guy is quadriplegic but he’s still a brain. Gonzo,
McBride, Malone, Farnsworth… funny and loyal. Stahl… HATER! Scotty... you gotta love him!
So,
basically in the five books - and one novella - available, you’ll see how Sam
and Nick’s relationship develops and faces new challenges in each book. Other
characters, like Gonzo, Cruz and McBride tell their stories when their life
suddenly changes. All of the books are so interesting. I don’t particularly enjoy
politics or even try to understand it but Marie Force made it easy to read
because she’s an amazing storyteller.
I CAN’T
WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK!!!!
PS. I didn't mention above the latest addition to the series... FBI Special Agent Avery Hill. *drool* I hope to "see" him more often from now on. <3
