Blind Trust by Natalie Walters brings a nice mix of both suspense and romance. Lila Fox and Nicolas Garcia have obviously had a thing for each other since Lights Out. But Nic can’t stand watching Lila run headfirst into danger. When she becomes a target, he steps in as her protector, whether she likes it or not.

I love this story along with the entire series. Lila has always been one of the more fascinating characters. She’s bold, opinionated, and speaks fluent sarcasm – the opposite of reserved Nic. Readers have a front row seat to the inner workings of Nic and Lila’s relationship as they grow closer together while being dragged into an international investigation. Danger and romance blend perfectly together in Blind Trust.  I love how this book ties into the prequel novella, Initium, concluding an epic series.

Be sure to check out Blind Trust, but if you haven’t read the others in the series, start with Initium and read them all.

I received an ebook review copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Move Fatal Code by Natalie Walters up to the top spot on your TBR list and thank me later. I’ve enjoyed the whole SNAP Agency series, from the prequel novel Initium to Lights Out. But Fatal Code might just be my new favorite.

This story centers around Kekoa Young. He’s a cryptologist but gets sent undercover to find out more information about Elinor Mitchell. It looks like she might be selling classified information, but Kekoa discovers there’s a lot more to Elinor, and that she couldn’t possibly be one of the bad guys.

I loved this story from start to finish. Definitely a great pick for suspense fans. The plot flows like a high-tech thriller, with plenty of action to keep the readers flipping pages.  But this story has a great blend of humor, suspense and romance. Kekoa makes an intriguing character with his Hawaiian roots and his larger-than-life personality. Kekoa faces off against all sorts of danger, but also deals with some tragedies from his past. Elinor hides behind her work, trying to uncover the mystery of her grandfather’s notebooks filled with secret codes. But all bets are off when she meets Kekoa who works his way into her heart.

Definitely check out Fatal Code when it releases May 3^rd! You won’t want to miss this one (and you don’t have to read the other books in the series to dive into Fatal Code, but I highly recommend them.)

Lights Out by Natalie Walters is a must-read for suspense fans. Brynn Taylor is a CIA analyst who is tracking a missing person with ties to terrorism, but things heat up when she’s forced to work with the SNAP (Strategic Neutralization and Protection) Agency. Her ex-boyfriend, Jack Hudson, happens to be on the SNAP team. They pair up, dodge danger, and try to piece dangerous clues together to figure out how to keep America safe.  

I love this introduction to the SNAP team! I always enjoy quirky characters and this rag-tag team of analysts and spies brings the story to life. We get to meet Kekoa, the Hawaiian hacker who adds lots of humor to the team, and Lyla, the sassy analyst with plenty to say. The relationship between Jack and Brynn creates explosive tension as they are thrown together and have to deal with their past to keep moving forward in the investigation.

While all the action and suspense make this a fast-paced novel, the author finds time for readers to get to know the characters. My favorite scene is Lyla’s birthday party. Readers will fall in love with the characters while getting a thrilling story.

Oh, and don’t miss the prequel novella, Initium. It gives a lot of details on how the team came together. Definitely check this out!
