Review: Fatal Identity by Marie Force
Fatal Identity by Marie Force (Fatal #10) Released: July 26, 2016 Romantic Suspense Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi This is book ten in the Fatal series, and the first book I've read.

I really enjoyed this book, and could follow what was happening even though this was the first I've read - however, I could also tell I've missed out on a lot of back story and dynamics.
