Blind Trust + Giveaway

Lyla Fox knows she has a reputation at the SNAP Agency to impulsivity, but when she receives a threatening letter from a man she helped put in prison, she can’t stop herself from going all in to find out why he’s coming after her. Unfortunately, she’s going to need the help of the one person who questions her reckless choices more than anyone else.

Explosives and weapons specialist Nicolas Garcia agrees to help Lyla in order to keep her safe, but her recklessness continues to be a major concern, especially when her investigation into a conspiracy puts a target on her back. Dealing with bombs is dangerous. Working with Lyla is proving to be just as treacherous — to both the mission and his heart.

Natalie Walters closes out her SNAP Agency series with a ban with this nail-biting story of a deadly government conspiracy, an unlikely couple, and an ending that will leave you breathless.

My Review:

I’m gobsmacked into speechlessness — maybe — over this grandest of all grand finales! I mean, if you have to end a series, this is the way to do it. There are so many moving parts, and references that reach all the way back to the prequel.

I’ve read the entire series in order, but I think you could jump in here, though you’d miss some of the fun of the ever evolving team dynamics. Don’t get me wrong, they are hilarious and touching in Blind Trust, but if you’ve been with the gang from the very start they are that much more. The banter and teasing are off the charts and kept me grinning even in the tense times. And though this third book is all about Lyla and Nicolas, Kekoa has to be my favourite character. He takes over every scene he’s in. The man doesn’t know how to do subtle and Walters gives him the chance to shine once gain. 🙂 This is me, Cheshire grinning.

Another plus for reading the series in order is that we’ve had two books worth of watching and wondering about Lyla and Nicolas. Are they friends? Or enemies? Frenemies? For sure they are two stubborn people who clash wills at every opportunity. But I could feel the undercurrents sizzling below the surface right from the start and that tension has been mounting and I love how Walters finally brings them together in this epic series conclusion.

The suspense is tense and dramatic and kept me riveted. So many pieces to pull together and there were some jaw dropping moments along the way. My heart rate might not ever be tickety-boo again! Political intrigue, lots of danger with a high stakes end game.

I enjoyed listening to the audible version of Bind Trust. Morgan Hallett did a wonderful job of breathing life into these characters.

  3. I’m here to say that I’m about 1/3 of the way through Blind Trust and Natalie Walters has knocked It out of the park! If you don’t win it, get it from your library or buy it. She’s done an incredible job with this series finale! (not entering).

  7. I haven’t read a single book by Natalie yet, and I have at least one book of hers on my shelf (wearing the cone of shame here, lol)! I really, really need to play catch-up 😂

    1. Bwahahaha — the cone of shame used in a bookish reference. I love it. Not that you feel you have to mope around with it on, mind you. There are just so many books and only so much time. I still don’t understand why God didn’t create an eighth day for reading. 🙂 Good luck, Trixi!

      1. I’m so happy you “get” me Kav! I agree with the eighth day for reading….wonder if that would even make a dent in all the books I need to read?? LOL!

        P.S. I STILL have yet to dip my toes back into suspense books…yikes! What does that say about me? I have a whole shelf dedicated to suspense books & their authors….they make googly eyes at me trying desperately to entice me to pick them up. 🙄 *Sigh* (I thought you might like the laugh)

      2. I don’t know how you can resist those googly eyes! If you’re not careful those suspense books are going to try to lure you in with more menacing tactics. Bwahaha. A blow to the head by a flying tome. Or a vicious paper cut by a book with malicious intent. Best to pacify them by reading just one. 🙂
