In 1964, a group of scientists called the Los
Alamos Five came close to finishing a nuclear energy project for the United
States government when they were abruptly disbanded. Now the granddaughter of
one of those five scientists, aerospace engineer Elinor Mitchell, discovers
that she has highly sensitive information on the project in her possession--and
a target on her back.
SNAP agent and former Navy cryptologist Kekoa
Young is tasked with monitoring Elinor. This is both convenient since she's his
neighbor in Washington, DC, and decidedly inconvenient because . . . well, he
kind of likes her.
As Elinor follows the clues her grandfather
left behind to a top-secret nuclear project, Kekoa has no choice but to step
in. When Elinor learns he has been spying on her, she's crushed. But with
danger closing in on all sides, she'll have to trust him to ensure her
discoveries stay out of enemy hands.
Natalie Walters sucks you into the global race
for space domination in this perfectly paced second installment of her SNAP
Agency romantic suspense series.

Thoughts:
Fatal
Code
by Natalie Walters is a nasty treat of a hunt for a cyber code that is left by
the heroine’s now deceased grandfather. Because of this, Elinor, the heroine,
is focused on her science project, Van Gogh, but someone keeps attacking her
asking her to release the code. Of course, she has no idea what they are
talking about. From then on, the story features numerous attempts on her life,
but enters the handsome Kekoa, her neighbor, who jumps into her protect and see
what the real threat is all about. The story is unpredictable and original
while still carry moments of familiarity to readers of the romantic suspense
genre. The romance is also pretty normal for this genre. Sparks and emotions
start to fly as Kekoa has to observe Elinor. My favorite part is near the
beginning when Walters has the SNAP team sitting in a conference room, and they
are teasing one another. The familiarity and joyful talking between the team
members is a nice touch. I enjoy seeing this side of these trained soldiers. Overall,
Fatal Code by Natalie Walters is an enjoyable way to spend a day. I would
highly recommend fans of romantic suspense to pick up this novel and any of her
other books. You won’t be disappointed.
I received a complimentary copy Fatal Code by Natalie Walters from Revell
Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
