Fatal Chaos (Fatal, #12)

by Marie Force

Escaping DC during the dog days of summer is one of the smartest moves Washington metro police lieutenant Samantha Holland ever made. Beach walks aren't quite as romantic with the Secret Service in tow, but Sam and her husband, Vice President Nick Cappuano, cherish the chance to recharge and reconnect--especially with a scandal swirling around the administration. No sooner are they back home than a fatal drive-by shooting sets the city on edge. The teenage victim is barely older than Sam and Nick's son, Scotty. As more deaths follow, Sam and her team play beat the clock to stop the ruthless killers. With Nick facing his greatest challenge--one that could drastically change all their lives and even end Sam's career--will the mounting pressure deepen or damage their bond?

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.There aren't many long-running book series that I still love like I did from the first book, but the Fatal Series is one of them.  

In this installment, Sam and Nick are being hounded by the fallout from the President's son trying to force the Cappuano's out of his political way while at the same time Sam tries to save her beloved city from a drive-by murderer.  Sam is up to her eyeballs in dead bodies, suspects and jealous, angry men in her own department.  But as always, Sam handles everything with her own version of grace and charm.  Her snark, temper, and loyalty make it impossible to not wanting Sam to catch her man, woman or whoever happens to be the bad guy in this particular book.

In typical Fatal fashion, the book is full of sexy times between Sam and Nick but equally packed with the suspense I've come to love with this series.  Marie Force always seems to keep this series on the pulse of the current political and social climate. Her writing and these characters make it impossible to put the book down until the very end.
