3.5 hearts

I enjoyed the first book <strong>Saving Mercy</strong>. It felt pretty realistic even with some paranormal aspects.  The couple, Cain and Mercy, show up a bit here in <strong>Capturing Fate</strong>.  The main characters are Dolan and Daught.  The situation was dark, and some horrifying events occurred.

Dolan, like Cain,  has genetic capabilities and works for the FBI.  I had a hard time getting started in the story.  Dolan didn't seem to have a partner, and doesn't show his talents much.   He seems to not have much luck with his work and seems kind of ineffective.

I also didn't feel very connected to the characters, and didn't feel much personal growth happened.  Unfortunately, we don't get much depth on Cain or Mercy, so it helps to have read the first book.  It isn't necessary but I might have enjoyed the first part more if I had read <strong>Saving Mercy</strong> more recently.

When Dolan meets Daught, it's insta-love.  We get plenty of "we can't be together" because of the professional association angst which all seems weird.  Finally, they are able to get together and then things blow up.  At this point, things pick up.  Dolan continues to work alone and takes a long time to get anywhere.

I really liked the way things wrapped up.  I finally got a better connection to the characters, especially Daught. She was in a horrible position and handled herself well.

A thrilling and good story by Abbie Roads. I really enjoyed the suspense element of the book. Kept me on the edge of my seat.

This is the second book in the Fatal Truths series. It features FBI agent Dolan Watts. Dolan spent his childhood in foster care and now spends his adulthood hunting down hardened criminals, pain has been his one constant through the years. Confronted by a malicious new enemy who revels in mind games, Dolan begins to doubt his own perceptions. This leads him to seeking psychiatric help.

This brings psychologist Daughter Dawson into his life. There is an immediate attraction between them. They begin to see connections that bind them throughout their pasts. When Daugher confides in Dolan both of them are thrust into danger. They make the decision to live apart for two years because it would be detrimental to Daughter’s career if they were to be in a relationship while he is a patient.
Just when they are able to get back together their lives are shattered. It is a roller coaster ride of a story. There are a lot of intriguing twists and turns that keep the reader engrossed in the book. I highly recommend this book. I am looking forward to additional books in the series.
I was provided a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review of the materials.

I loved everything about Abbie Roads' Capturing Fate. It will be a hard book to write a review on, however, because I don't want to spoil any of it.

In short, Dolan Watts is an FBI agent keeping his eye on an incarcerated serial killer, who seems to be heavily influencing copycat crimes from his prison cell. His work brings him into the orbit of psychologist Daughter Dawson, who is herself connected to the killer. Their attraction is instantaneous, but fate intervenes. The bulk of the remaining story is dedicated to them finding their way back to each other and dealing with the additional surprises that find them along the way.

The book is split into two parts, and it also touches on the storyline of an earlier book in the series. I did not read that earlier story (Abbie Roads is a new favorite for me), but I got the impression that the two books run parallel rather than sequentially. The knitting together of the two stories is done a little less smoothly than I would have liked, but by the time the second part of the book got going, I'd forgotten that little gripe.

I would say that this story does well described as a romantic suspense with a touch of supernatural thrown in (just a teeny bit). It also has shades of Frankenstein, King Kong, and Pygmalion. I really hope there are more to this series, and that's all I'm going to say.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion. Thanks!

Capturing Fate is a psychological thriller that will keep you guessing. Abbie Roads does a great job building the suspense. The mystery starts right from the start when Dolan an FBI agent who is undercover working as a guard in a prison witnessing prison employee letting a serial killer out. But when he reports it the prison proves the serial killer is in his cell. Bodies start to pile up and every time he reports it it is if it never happen. The FBI thinks he losing it and orders him to see Clinical Psychologist Daughter (weird name but she was adopted). Daught herself was at the prison for a job interview and found out she was the daughter of a serial killer. Dolan see Daught for 2 years as his therapist. When her family is killed the first person she thinks of calling is Dolan who comes to comfort her and their relationship begins. Daught is kidnapped from Dolan by Ferol who is trying to create the perfect human who all look like Dolan. He has 19 men who he experiments on located on an island. What follows is mystery, drama and danger. Great book. Kept me at the edge of my seat.

Received this book as an ARC from Netgalley for an honest review.
