Blind Trust, the final book in the SNAP Agency series by Natalie Walters, releases next Tuesday – and this is a book you need! Here’s a summary:
Lyla Fox knows she has a reputation at the SNAP Agency for 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 Nicolás 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.
Blind Trust is the best book in the SNAP Agency series, and if you’ve been reading along, you know that’s saying something! Lyla and Garcia really shine here, and Walters uses this story to weave together all the threads she’s been tugging since the beginning of the series.
These both played large roles in making Blind Trust both a fun book to read and one that dealt with the heavy issues of terrorism and fear with a balanced hand. I’m not interested in fluffy books; I want to learn something when I read, but the best stories for me teach me while I’m lost in the story itself, and that’s exactly what Walters does with Blind Trust.
Actually, it took me far longer than usual to read this book; partly because I really didn’t want to say goodbye to Kekoa and the gang, but also because I kept backing up and rereading. That’s really rare for me, but I kept thinking of things and making connections and going back a bit to read again. Finally, as I neared the end, I could tell that the events of Initium were critical to Blind Trust, and I put the whole book down to go reread the prequel short story since it had been a while since I’d done so. Then I backed up again.
That might seem weird, and it is unusual for me, but it was also perfect for Blind Trust. You won’t want to miss a single reference, so take the time to start at Initium and work your way through the whole series, even if you’ve read them before, because you’ll get so much more out of them this way. I’ll be doing that again soon, because even though I know how it all wraps up now, you can never have too much Kekoa or Lyla.
If it seems weird that a supporting character takes up so much space in the hearts of reader-fans everywhere, then you haven’t met Kekoa yet – but you should, because if you know, you know. What I loved about this particular book is that Lyla nearly reaches that same kind of stardom in my head. She’s sassy and snappy and fierce but also full of love and goodness, determined to help anyone she can. Lyla makes a perfect female lead, so when you set her up against Garcia and throw hunky Hawaiian Kekoa into the mix, it can’t be anything but fantastic.
So for all of these reasons and more, you need to read Blind Trust. Grab your copy today – it releases everywhere in just one week!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
