Fatal Code (The SNAP Agency Book #2)

Fatal Code The SNAP Agency #2 By Natalie Walters Her grandfather's death has rocked her world, making her feel abandoned, but at least Elinor Mitchell has her work and her grandfather's notebooks. And when she survives a near accident thanks to her neighbor, one of her grandfather's notebooks is almost lost in a muddy puddle. In the six months he's been living in his apartment, Kekoa Young hasn't really communicated with his next-door neighbor, but an inattentive bicyclist changes all of that when he nearly runs her down. Preventing a fall is the most interaction he has had with her to date, and then his less than stellar rescue of her notebook brings her to tears. Ouch! When Kekoa learns that he is suppose to keep an eye on Elinor because his previous investigations skills (cryptography) have cast doubts on Elinor and her loyalties. There is just one problem Kekoa doesn't believe Elinor is guilty of selling company secrets to competitors or foreign governments even though his work that pointed SNAP in Elinor's direction isn't wrong. As Kekoa deals with proving Elinor's innocence she discovers that she needs Kekoa's skills in helping her understand the hidden message in her grandfather's notebooks. But soon the two mysteries seem to be overlapping as danger seems to be lurking around the corner. Are the two related even though nearly six decades separate them? Fatal Code gives one an insight into Kekoa by sharing parts of his history. An incident in his past caused Kekoa to leave home and family behind. Kekoa is an interesting person - caring, intense, focused, and loyal. Elinor is a fairly private person who seems to trust people but only so far due to her relationship with her parents. Fatal Code doesn't ignore the other members of SNAP and I have to admit I love Lyla's character. She is sassy, intelligent, capable, and caring. Her relationship with the other SNAP team members is interesting. If you haven't read the previous book or novella in the series you can read this book and still follow along with no major problems. But I really think you will enjoy this book more fully if you read Lights Out (book one) and Intitium (series prequel novella) first. I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion, all thoughts expressed are my own.

I am absolutely in love with the SNAP AGENCY series and could not wait to get my hands on this newest one. I was not at all disappointed as it is the best one so far. Telling the story of Kekoa, the gentle computer giant from Hawaii, was brilliant as he is a favorite character with a mystery in his past. I have wanted to know more about Kekoa since book one and this book definitely satisfied my thirst for knowledge about his background. In the latest story, Kekoa is tasked with finding out who i

I thoroughly enjoyed my second visit with the SNAP Agency team in Natalie Walters’ Fatal Code. I loved the action and intrigue that kept me turning page after page. The team from the first book is back, this time focusing on Kekoa, a tough, but tender guy who knows his stuff around computers. Walters shows her love of all things Hawaiian in this character and his expressions and actions. I found this entertaining and fun. His romantic interest is a very likable character named Elinor who has information that may be placing her in danger. She is cute, nerdy, and a perfect match for Kekoa. I love Walters’ writing – a perfect blend of romance, suspense, intrigue, and humor. I consider Natalie Walters one of my must-read authors. In this book, she does not disappoint. I was given a copy of this book by the publisher. All opinions are my own.
