I couldn’t wait for Kekoa’s story in Natalie’s SNAP Agency series and Fatal Code did not disappoint. It is one of the best Romantic Suspense novels I’ve read this year.
Elinor’s team is one step away from a defense contract when she finds pseudo codes in her deceased grandfather’s journals. Posting one online for help from the cyber community just put a target on her back. The problem is—she doesn’t have a clue.
Kekoa was placed strategically in the apartment next to Elinor. He’s supposed to find out whether or not she’s selling company secrets. The emails are coming from her account. The problem is—he’s attracted to her and doesn’t want to believe the evidence that seems to be right in front of him.
The stakes are high in this adrenaline fueled book as things aren’t quite what they seem. Can Kekoa keep Elinor alive long enough to see if their relationship can grow into something real?
I received a copy of this book courtesy of Baker Publishing Group and this is my honest opinion of the book.

I really enjoyed this page-turner from Natalie Walters. I thoroughly enjoyed this multilayered story that weves a layer of history into the romantic suspense. Kekoa is a great hero and Elinor is a great nerdy heroine. Loved that her quirk was science jokes on her tshirts. Both are isolated in different ways and have to chose to trust each other. Add in mystery and a bit of suspense and this was a truly enjoyable read.

This is a great read.
A grieving aerospace engineer unknowingly begins a deadly chain of events when she tries to unravel more of her deceased Grandfather’s secrets surrounding his nuclear energy research in the 1960’s.
A former navy cryptologist lives next door and is drawn into the web of death and deceit thanks to his current job.
There are many twists and turns as the truth is discovered.

Fatal Code is the second installment from Natalie Walters's series, The SNAP Agency. I thought it was really good and am giving it four stars.

I really enjoyed this book it was fast paced, unpredictable, twisty and kept me guessing. I loved the premise as I haven't read many books like this before and I loved the characters. A great read.

I've been reading Christian romantic suspense for 25 years (heavy on the romance was just fine with me as a high schooler!), but somehow I'd never read Natalie Walters until I picked up Fatal Code. I couldn't put it down. The author has a great mix in her core crew of characters, which reminded me of Lynn H. Blackburn and Dee Henderson. After a chapter to get adjusted to the dynamics between the characters, since this is the second book in the series, I was completely enamored and ready for the story to pull me through. And it didn't stop pulling until the end. I'm already looking forward to the next one in the series to spend more time with those characters. Kekoa begins the story determined not to get involved in any romantic entanglements like his coworkers are experiencing (Lyla and Garcia begin the story with some very clear unrequired love that was a fun way to introduce those characters). But then you have the woman he is supposed to be watching and this whole issue of nuclear espionage and aerospace engineering (living in Houston and with family who worked at NASA, I loved this angle!).

I'll definitely be chasing down all of Natalie Walter's backlist and adding her to my list of favorite suspense authors. For anyone who wants a clean, suspenseful (but not triggering or gory) read with plenty of romantic angst and sweetness, Fatal Code is a good choice.

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.
