Fatal Truth, the last book in the Desert Shadows series was very intriguing and I hated to see it end. Emma Fortier and Liam Harper have been through so much as a powerful couple. The chemistry that they share together really shows through this story. They really take care of each other even in intense moments. This time they’re trying to shed light on a cult that’s also a human trafficking ring. It’s full of conspiracy and they want to uncover the truth behind it. I was on pins and needles as their team worked together to gather all the information that they needed to bring the culprits to justice. I really liked how El Risco turned out with helping them in the end.
If you’re in the mood for a mind blowing suspenseful story, then you need to read this book. I highly recommend it. All opinions stated here are my own.
Favorite quotes: “It was her calling, this life she’d chosen. A calling that would never leave her, no matter how hard she wanted it to leave her.”
“I’m done chasing monsters and writing thrillers while I live them.”
