Fatal Reckoning, A Fatal Series Novel Kindle Edition

by Marie Force (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars (4,175)

When tragedy strikes, a cold case suddenly turns hot—and deadly.

A peaceful morning is shattered when Washington Metro Police lieutenant Sam Holland’s beloved father succumbs to injuries from an unsolved shooting while on duty four years ago. As the community rallies around Sam and her family, one thing becomes crystal clear: her father’s death has turned the unsolved case into a homicide—and it’s on her to bring her father’s killer to justice. But the case has been cold for years…until an anonymous tip that’s too shocking to believe leads Sam down a dark and dangerous path.

Her husband, Vice President Nick Cappuano, knows if she can’t solve this case, it will haunt her for the rest of her life. She’ll need the strength of their bond to pull her out of the darkness before it’s too late, because as the missing pieces rapidly fall into place, Sam realizes the truth might just break her all the same—and that her father’s killer isn’t done yet…

    This book of the series is a culmination of the things that have happened previously, and is so emotionally charged I couldn't put it down. I am so glad their story continues in the state of series. I love books that follow a couple through their life and encompasses the life's of their friends and family.

    I started reading the state of series of books and realised they were a continuation from the fatal series. I am so glad I started reading these. The audio books that go with these by Eva is so great it brings the stories to life. I am a big fan of J D Robb's Eve Dallas series, so much so I re-read. I am looking forward to Marie's series just as much, I have bought the audio books for that purpose. After these I will be looking at other books by Marie.

    ExcitedLy I have read all the Fatal Series, having received the novella 'One night with you' free and I definitely think 'Fatal Reckoning' the latest Marie Force book is the best so far. Several key vital issues and themes are concluded. XThe phenomenon relationship between Sam and Nick continues to be hot and sensual despite the many problems and setbacks they face. But essentially they face them together.

    I cried when I read that Skip had died in his sleep and also at the out pouring of love for him at his funeral service. The eulogy by Sam and Scotty's speech were outstanding and I continued to cry. But will Sam ever solve her father's shooting now that it has moved to homicide?

    I also cried again when Sam was cross examined at Stahl trial when she had to recount how he had twice tried to kill her. The first time by trying to strangle her and the second time by brutally torturing her in the basement where previously a group of teenagers had been murdered.

    These Fatal Series book have taught me the importance of family and that love can conquer hate and evil. I recommend that before reading Fatal Reckoning that you go back and read the whole series.

    While reading this latest masterpiece by Marie Force, I had an epiphany of why I read every one of her books. So many times while reading a book, a voice in my head often chants a mantra - "come on already, get to the good stuff." When reading books by Marie Force, I have realized that voice is quiet, because every line Marie writes is the "good stuff"....Every. Last. Word.
    Fatal Reckoning is the latest release in Force's Fatal Series and it's a doozy. In fact, I don't think I'm stretching my review to say this is the best book so far in the series and that is saying a lot since the entire series is extraordinary to begin with. I won't bother with a synopsis of the plot, you can get that from other reviews or the book blurb about this book. What I will say is read this book. You won't be sorry. If this is the first book in the series you're considering....you may want to start at the very beginning with Fatal Affair and enjoy the bliss of working through a great series. ...Or you can read it as a stand-alone as all books in the series are. Either way, you will never be disappointed with a book written by Marie Force. Mostly you're just gonna be totally captivated.

    I love the Fatal series and was eagerly waiting for Fatal Reckoning. Spent the first nine chapters in tears at the poignantly written aftermath of Skip's death. Got caught up in the twists, turns and bombshells as the story of who was responsible for his shooting was investigated. Cried again for tragic loss for other victims of violent crime. Anxiously turned the page everytime a new thread in the investigation was pulled. Fell deeper in love with other characters who stepped up for Sam and did the work she couldn't. Felt everyone's deep anger and betrayal as the investigation came to a close. Cried again. I'm exhausted and emotionally drained. Can't wait for the next book!!!

    5 stars are seriously not enough for this gut-wrenching, heart-stopping emotional roller coaster of a story but I'll be honest it was that good I'm not sure there are enough stars in the universe to do it justice.

    Wow, seriously I am blubbering from the first chapter and even though I knew it was coming it's still damn hard to read, 14 books in and this series is like family, every character holds a special place in my heart and Skip Holland was the glue that held everything and everyone together, now it's going to be up to Nick to step up and become the glue or I'm worried this gorgeous family may crumble.
    This book was so hard to read as news spread about Skip each and every person affected by his passing were so devastated, but I just had to keep reading one, this was for Skip who is one of the most memorable characters I've had the utmost pleasure to read and two I needed justice, we all need justice for Skip, so no matter how many tears fell, no matter the tissues strewn all over my desk I couldn't look away, my heart was breaking over and over but I had to keep reading Skip Holland deserved everyone to be completely enthralled in this book.

    That was the most epically, emotional, amazing story I've read so far this year, as an avid fan of Marie Force and especially her Fatal series I knew this one would be gut-wrenching I wasn't fully prepared for the shocking twists, I had wondered about some but not the full extent of the Sh.t Show that unfolded.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Fatal Books Ever!!
    Reviewed in the United States on 1 April 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I knew this book would be AMAZING but it is truly beyond amazing!! We have come to know and love Sam & Skip (her dad) in all of the many fatal books and their close relationship is one that if you don't have with your dad you would envy. I have this kind of relationship with my dad and even though I haven't lost my dad, you can't help but feel Sam's pain and that you are losing one of the own members of your family. Speaking for myself, I feel as if Sam & all are part of my family and that I lost a dearly beloved member myself. So knowing that Marie was having to write this book after the loss of her own dad (who Skip is based on a lot) is just unreal. This book gives you both the heartbreak of the loss of the dearly loved Skip but it also gives you hope that Sam will make it through the loss of her first best friend and confidant.

    I cried so much thru this book because the storyline of Skip's death, Sam's reaction, as well as the family, was just heartbreaking. I'm so VERY glad that Marie didn't rush thru and try to just get over Skip's death and allowed this book to focus on it throughout the whole book and gave us all the resolution to Skip's case. I NEVER saw that coming. Marie did an amazing job of keeping us guessing and I just love that.

    This is an amazing series and I just love Sam & Nick. They are true soulmates and even though I'm a cynic on love (after being burnt twice), Marie draws me in to where you want this kind of love for yourself. You'll not only get amazing romance and love between Sam and Nick, but there is suspense in every book in the series. Marie does an amazing job keeping the readers invested and the characters and the stories fresh. If you haven't read the Fatal series, you need to start this series. It will be one of your best investments EVER in books!!

    Marie force is definitely a “force” to be reckoned with. She has created a world of Sam and nick that is amazing and all consuming. I have never looked more forward to a book from a series releasing and feel the need to devour it immediately. Sam and Nick are my relationship goals. I feel so connected to them. Marie force has created a masterpiece with the these characters and all their lives encompass. It has love, suspense, romance, along with a bad**s cop who doesn’t put up with anyone’s crap. You would think after 14 books in a series, you would be tired of them. I can honestly say I am more involved and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

    Sam and nick have been on quite the journey in their lives. They have been shot at, tried to be blown to pieces, “stahlked” (nice play on words, huh?), been debated and everything you can imagine in between. Their story started out hot and it has disintegrated my kindle as I’ve read more and more. Their love is strong enough to make it through any of the circumstances. This book was especially meaningful because it focuses on her dad. He has passed away and I cried buckets and buckets. She does what she always does and closes the case. In between, you will cry, laugh and swoon over the interaction between all the important people in her life. Nick is always there for her, along with the kids and close police personnel she works with. An amazing book I highly recommend - starting with the first in the series of course.

    This book resonated with me more than any of her books. I lost my dad a couple of years ago and i went through every emotion that was described with Sam. It was an amazing tale of rebirth and dealing with death in the best way you can. Even at the end, she states so many true statements about death and dealing with life after a loved ones death. Amazing, spectacular job Marie Force! I cannot day enough good words about this book! Go buy it today!!
