Fatal Frenzy by Marie Force #MarieForce #EvaKaminsky @HarlequinBooks

the setup…
As Lieutenant Sam Holland and husband and Vice President-Elect Nick Cappuano prepare for the upcoming inauguration, she’s still recuperating from her physical and emotional injuries sustained from disgraced Lieutenant Stahl’s assault. Clearly suffering silently from the effects of PTSD, Sam wonders if she’ll ever be able to return to the job. In the meantime, her team is grappling with a tough case that appears to be a potential serial killer at large.

the heart of the story
This was a gripping story addressing some very tough issues, including PTSD, survivors guilt and grief. Sam’s path back wasn’t easy and she’s still a work in progress. I liked how her situation was addressed even if her recovery seemed a little fast. Of course, her husband Nick is always the perfect balm for anything that ails you. The inauguration preparation wrapped around the normal chaos associated with Sam’s job. The fusion of that with her role as Second Lady was dealt with much more realistically and there are many heartwarming moments interspersed with the tragic ones, making this a much more interesting and layered story.

the narration…
I listened to the book this second time around and Kaminsky made it even better with her storytelling skills and voice distinctions.

the bottom line…
I’m still in love with this series and looking forward to the next phase of Sam and Nick’s lives. We were also left with a sense of coming political intrigue, just enough to leave me wanting.
