Capturing Fate is the second book in the Fatal Truth series. It can be read as a standalone. Somehow, I missed the first book in the series but I was able to pick this one up and read it without getting lost or feeling like I was missing anything. I’ve read other books by Abbie Roads and loved them so I picked this one up without even really paying attention to the description. I was not disappointed. This book sucks you into the story immediately and keeps you turning the pages. Capturing Fate is full of suspense, danger, and mystery as you trace the threads that connect all of the pieces together. I love a gritty, dark, romantic thriller, and this book checks all of the boxes.
I enjoyed this book. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. One of the things I enjoy about this author is her ability to pull me into a story from the beginning. Her attention to details make the story feel realistic. This book is no different. This is a well rounded book that is engaging and entertaining. The characters made the story fun to read. They are connectable and truly made the story for me. This is a story about a twisted serial killer where the bodies keep piling up. This story is full of action you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

Abbie Roads loves Snickers Parfaits and acrylic pour painting. It’s her new obsession. The pour painting. Not the parfaits. Though the parfaits would qualify as an obsession too. She spends her days a mental health counselor always looking on the brightside, but at night she likes to write dark and dangerous things—with kissing and sexy times. She loves reading inspirational quotes and stories about serial killers. She is married to her favorite fellow and they have two cranky old rescue dogs that are not spoiled. Not at all. Okay. Maybe a little. Alright, the dogs are terribly spoiled, but they do give lots of cuddles and kisses in return.
Her first book RACE THE DARKNESS was a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Pick for Fall.

Never Let Me Fall is the third book in the Fatal Dreams series by Abbie Roads. Although you can read this book as a standalone, I highly recommend you read the first two books in the series to get the full back story. This book had me hooked from the very first page. It is action packed with suspense and romance added in. Helen and Thomas are both strong but damaged people, and when they meet things click with them. The chemistry is instantaneous and palpable. This book left me with a book hangover, when I finished reading I found myself thinking about things that happened in it. I love books that bring out strong emotions and this book really fit that bill. I highly recommend this book, series and author.

Never Let Me Fall by Abbie Roads is the thirds book in the Fatal Dreams series and follows the stories of Helena and Thomas and how they become involved in each others worlds and in the end romance blossoms.
Helena has had a hard life being raised by her grandparents, then at eighteen being charged and convicted of murder she never committed, once released she has struggled to let go of the horrors of her past until she meets Thomas.
Thomas is a soul who has also had a terrible upbringing, one too many abusive fights with his step father had rendered him colour blind, but one one sense goes he was gifted another great sense. Thomas has the ability to look into peoples souls and determined if they good or bad. He sees colours in auras and when he meets Helena he sees the most beautiful colours in the whole world and is instantly attracted to her.
This is the first story I have read in this story and although the story flowed I feel I would have had a better understanding of the characters better. This did not distract from the story it was full of intrigue and romance with the two main characters attraction pretty quick in the story.
I loved the twist on the paranormal of the gifts that Thomas had was a real joy to read and the interaction between the two characters was brilliant. I thought the story was well written and the characters where well developed, I would love to read the first two books in this series to see what secrets I have missed in the beginning of this great series.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I have to ask myself how have I not read anything by her before? This was a really great read and although I haven’t read any of the series previously this book was easily read as a standalone. The authors’ writing was exciting and pulled me in straight away. I loved all the different twists and turns and I was on the edge of my seat trying to guess what was going to happen on more than one occasion. I liked the characters Helena and Thomas, they both had a past that was quite horrific but when they meet each other you could just feel the connection that they had. This is quite a dark read I will admit but I still really enjoyed it. I am definitely going to be looking to read more from this author again in the future and I highly recommend this book especially if you enjoy a little darkness to your reads!

I have to say that another trip into this Fatal Dreams series has once again been such a great read. I really like the author’s world she has created and how the couples come together. I found the style to be quite unique and it really grabs the reader from page one. I just couldn’t put this book down.
The chemistry between Helen and Thomas is quite unique. I like how Helen’s past adds to the drama that brings these two together. The way that Helen is like the completing half of the whole for Thomas just really adds to the book. I was on the edge of my seat as the drama unfolded in this book. To see the drama unfold and to see that Helen got her happy ever after was just the cherry on top of the cake for me. I will definitely be reading more from this author and I hope this series!

Never Let Me Fall (Fatal Dreams Book 3) By Abbie Roads. This author knows how to pack maximum punch in her books without it feeling like it’s overwhelming. This book just like the others had me completely intrigued and drawn into its pages filled with a roller coaster ride. It’s got everything I was looking for in a romantic suspense story. Drama, action and twists I didn’t see coming. Throw in characters that are incredible you have a five star story I couldn’t put down. Thomas and Helena are characters I won’t be forgetting any time soon, each one brought unique parts to the story world and I loved each one. I can’t wait to see where this author takes readers next. I highly recommend this book.

Never Let Me Fall is book 3 in the Fatal Dreams series by Abbie Roads. I love the twist she put on paranormal romantic suspense stories. These stories are powerful and leave a lasting impression.
Never Let Me Fall is Thomas and Helena’s story. I love how the author weaves each story. I love the individuality of each story, while still intertwined in the series. It was articulate and immaculate and the attention to detail was mind blowing. I was swept away by these characters and their story. The intensity and intrigue was captivating and I never wanted this story to end.
The talent exhibited on each page is limitless. The pleasure of reading was an exquisite experience. 5 stars.

Never Let Me Fall (Fatal Dreams #3) by Abbie Roads is another great book in the Fatal Dreams series where the legend continues. It is a supernatural story that is full of darkness and suspense, pain and suffering, destiny and love. Each book is about couples that are bound by a legend where they are destined to be together. Where the connection together is life long and undeniable. This series is one of my favourites and is a compelling and engrossing read that you can not put down until you know how it ends. Abbie is very very good at writing something so dark but also so sweet.
Helena is living a life not of her making. Being accused of something she didn’t do but no one believes her. Freedom is not far away but can she survive long enough to get there. Thomas is damaged and lived through a horrific and tragic past by a monster that he has to live with every day.
All it takes is one look, and their lives change in a way neither of them would have ever thought. If only they can defeat the monster that won’t let go. If only they can escape from the dark.
Even though there is a lot of dark content in this story it is one that grips your heart to the point of tears and makes you hope against hope that these beautiful broken people find peace and love in their lives.

“He wanted to go all medieval knight and slay her dragons.”
Never Let Me Fall is the third thrilling book in the Fatal Dreams Series by Abbie Roads. It is paranormal romantic suspense, with so much happening between the covers that you will feel like you are on an incredible rollercoaster ride. There is danger, intrigue, loss, grief, pain, secrets, love, hate, drama, mystery, and a touch of destiny. The story is gritty, raw, dark, and a little twisted in places- which really gives the story an added ‘punch’. There is also a psychological aspect to the plot that is pretty intense. Woven around all this is a wonderful romance full of tender, sweet, moments that really touched me- as well as some red hot electrifying ‘intimate’ scenes that fogged up the screen on my kindle. I have loved every moment of this series, but I think this book has become my firm favourite, as there are so many interconnected details, and overarching storyline that got tied together in this story. I am addicted to Ms. Roads work- her stories/books are not only riveting page turners- they are so cleverly thought through, with so many minute and interconnected details that give this book/series such a spellbinding quality. The addition of elements such as Bear and Fearless’ story and the meaning , and connections, contained in it are just one example of Ms. Roads true genius when it comes to telling a completely captivating story. It’s these ‘extra’ little touches that really sets this book/series apart! In this book we follow Thomas Brown and Helena Grayse as their story unfolds. Thomas is Evanee’s brother (Book #2). He is drowning in pain, having had a horrendous childhood which has left him physically and mentally scarred. When his stepfather kicked him in the face when he was five years old, Thomas lost the ability to see colour- he’s been living in a black, white and grey world ever since. “A life without colour was a life without passion.” It also gave him the ability to see ‘the shadow of death’ which helps him carryout his job at the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. But an unexpected encounter with a beautiful woman brings colour flooding back into his world. There is something unique about her that draws him to her like no one ever before. But circumstances mean she slips out of his life before he can find out anything about her, taking his colour with her. A chance encounter many hours later brings these two back together again. Helena has her own scars from enduring a hellish existence for the past 10 years. She was incarcerated for a murder she didn’t commit- and faced such brutality that she hasn’t spoken in nine long years. She’s finally released and plans to leave the place that represents so much pain- as soon as she says her final goodbyes. This puts her in the path of Thomas, who manages to make her feel safe for the first time in a decade. When her situation has them spending time together, their connection becomes even more apparent and their chemistry becomes harder to resist. She would love nothing more than to surrender to his kindness, and her feelings- but doesn’t feel worthy of him. She fears that once he learns her secret, he won’t want anything to do with her. But with danger stalking them both, will they survive long enough to explore what’s between them? Both will have to confront their pasts, in order to move forward into the future. The problem is, sinister forces have their own agenda/s and both Helena and Thomas are locked firmly in their sights- placing them both at risk. What ensues makes for some intense, adrenaline inducing, emotional, unpredictable, and unforgettable reading! As I have come to expect, Ms. Roads is incredibly clever and so entirely convincing in her detailed explanations, that I fully accepted what she was telling me- the ‘paranormal’ elements became entirely plausible and a matter of fact. I love that about this author, the way she can draw you into her story, delivering unique concepts and then making them seem so real and believable. Her vivid, detailed and descriptive style really helps to sell the story. And her complex, fully realised and endearing characters are so easy to fall for and invest in- which along with the gripping storyline, managed to entice me further and further into the story- all the while, scrambling to figure out what was going on. As always, I can’t wait for the next book from this talented author!

Never Let Me Fall Fatal Dreams book 3 by Abbie Roads Five Stars I am in shocked and a little sick. This story was unbelievable. The thought of living a life like Helen and Thomas lived is frightening. To always be afraid and wondering when it would end. Thomas’s childhood was so depressing and to think that about what his stepfather had planned for him. It made my stomach churn just thinking about it. The author did a great job writing this story. It was suspenseful, painful and in some ways beautiful. The bond between Helen and Thomas grew and was a thing to behold. The moment he realized he could heal her and set to just that was the moment I knee this book was a keeper.

Never Let Me Fall is the third book in the Fatal Dreams series. I love this series; every book has been fabulous and this one is no exception. While it does mention characters from the previous books, it can be read as a standalone. Seriously though, the other books warrant a read, so why not add them to your TBR list!!!
The author has superbly blended romance with suspense and danger in this dark and intriguing story of healing the wounds of the past though love and acceptance. The main characters have deep and complex issues stemming from the pain of past events. Due to the nature of the subject matter, there may be triggers for some individuals.

Abbie Roads has done it again. I am left breathless after Never Let Me Fall, book three in the Fatal Dreams series. Don’t panic if you haven’t read the first two, this can be read as a standalone novel. I would recommend that you read them as soon as you can if you have not because they are equally breathtaking.
Let me just start with the gorgeous cover. Not only eye catching but beyond fitting and makes perfect sense once you read the novel. If I hadn’t read anything by Abbie Roads before I would have picked this up without even reading the synopsis.
Helena, I just loved her. She was a strong woman because she had to be. After being convicted of a murder that she didn’t commit as a teenager she spent years in a women’s prison. Brutal beatings has left her scarred both physically and mentally, and with a lot of healing needed by the time her release date comes.
Thomas had his own fair share of scars. When the two meet on the night Helena gets released from the facility there is an instant connection between the two. Both of them are so broken, but in different ways. Could they each have the pieces that could heal the other?
I just adored the way this book came alive off the pages. Abbie Roads has the ability to paint a scene with her words and make you feel as if you are right there with the characters. Each time I finish one of her novels I feel a great hangover and this one was no different. I can’t wait to see what will come next! Thanks for the great read!

Never Let Me Fall is the third book in Abbie Roads Fatal Dreams series. I have read EVERY SINGLE ONE of her books and I bow my head in reverence … With every book I read, I close it with a hope that she will give us another one in the series … Her imagination, her way of telling the stories, the way she gets into your head, the way she throws you on an emotional rollercoaster … she is a master of masters! Never Let Me Fall is the story of Thomas Brown (the second book of the series was about her sister) and Helena Grayse … when these two meet, EVERYTHING changes, for both of them … At times I take a break from reading and I wonder where the writer takes the inspiration for her stories from … and to think that it is the third story focusing on an ancient legend, the writer doesn’t seem to lack of diversity, the different destinies that the couples have been destined for … please, keep them coming! Just a friendly advice, do please read the books in order … you could say they are standalones that have the ancient legend in common … but I do not think so … you get sucked deeper and deeper with each story and as I said, the second book is about Thomas’ sister … I wonder who will be next and I hope there will be next and I hope that Abbie will also continue her Fatal Truth series in near future!

The third installment in the Fatal Dreams series, Never Let Me Fall, by Abbie Roads continues with its romantic suspense theme. Abbie Roads is highly talented in how she writes these stories. In Never Let Me Fall, the story immediately opens into a scene that makes you hold your breath! Oh my goodness, this book seriously had me on the edge of my seat quickly reading to see what was to happen next! Talk about a page turner!! I felt that the characters were each perfectly flawed. Helena’s past is not an easy one, yet the author handled it with flare without it feeling too weak or overly done. Thomas is enticing, the reader is drawn to him, to his personality and how he interacts. Combining these two characters together was climatic and how they juggle and combat against forces was well played. This story holds its own within the series, but I liked the touch of how there are small, minuscule pieces that overflow from the other books in the series.

Never Let Me Fall (Fatal Dreams #3) By Abbie Roads Rated 4 stars
Thomas’ story drew me in when I first heard about it. A guy who sees black/white and has for years then once he sees a woman…all the colors come to life. Heck yeah! I wanted to read that! Because I know he will want her. She not only adds color but also fills those empty holes he had inside him. Win-win!
I had high hopes for this book. I read the last two books in the series and ab-so-lutely loved them. I am not sure why but this book was a struggle for me. At first I couldn’t connect with the characters. At times the story seemed disjointed and I had to reread pages thinking I had missed something. But it all seemed to flow much better the further Into the story I got. I started to feel the connection and actually “feel” the MC’s bond grow. There is quite a bit of movement in the last half of the book which makes some things come together. It was nice to briefly see Lathan and Evanee as they helped out a bit.
As stated above I loved the others in this series. Heck I am a one clicker of Abbie Roads. But I am sorry. I wanted to love Thomas’ story but it is an okay to good read for me.

Never Let Me Fall by Abbie Roads is an excellent book. The whole Fatal Dreams series is an excellent group of books that you will like to read. This book can be a standalone story but would be beneficial to read the other stories. The tone of the story is a suspense, action, mystery which allows the story to move along more quickly. I was nail biting through parts of the story and wanting to close my eyes at other parts (which is hard to do when you are reading the story). This story is about Thomas and Helena. This is an interesting story as Thomas can only see in black and white, but Thomas can see the human soul (in my opinion an awesome gift). Helena has been in prison for the last 10 years being convicted of murdering her boyfriend. Now Helena has said from the beginning that she was innocent of that crime. Now the paths of Helena and Thomas have been cross and there will be answers to the questions, but will they be able to trust each other is another question that needs to be answered. Will their relationship keep going strong or will fail? You will find that answer when you read this book.

I enjoy how this book pulled me right in from the first word. I also found this to be fast reading with a plot that is engaging. Thomas and Helena are very likable characters that I could connect with. Thomas has a unique ability where he can see into someone’s soul but he sees the world in black and white until he meets Helena. She brings life and more color then he could ever imagine but she also brings a past that could be a threat. I highly recommend reading this book.

Never Let Me Fall (Fatal Dreams Book 3) By: Abbie Roads 5 out of 5 stars
The story Never Let Me Fall (Fatal Dreams Book 3) by Abbie Roads is a wonderful book that I loved reading. It hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It is a story that has action, suspense, and mystery all rolled into a book that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is a page-turning novel. I loved reading about the characters of Thomas Brown and Helena Grayse. Thomas is a man that can only see the world in black and white. That is until he meets Helena. Helena is a woman who has suffered at the hands of others. She has strength and she is a survivor. Even so, if she is cornered or feels uncomfortable with a situation she feels the need to run. When they meet Thomas and Helena both have a connection to each other. She becomes the one person that he can’t live without. He is someone who wants to keep her safe. What will happen when they are targeted and threatened by an enemy? Will they survive? Read this book to find out. This is a story that will have your emotions going up and down all the time. I loved that the story is written with such detail that I felt like I was right there with the characters seeing what they were. This story does include some steamy scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise. I grew to love the characters of Thomas and Helena with each chapter that I read, and I was rooting for them to find happiness and a happy ending. This is an amazingly wonderful book that I would highly recommend reading.

This had me hook, line, and sinker. This book was an unexpected delight. The author has a strong voice and establishes strong characters in a well developed universe. Beginning to end I found the story compelling and honest. I became emotionally invested very quickly and couldn’t put the book down before finishing the last page.

Never Let Me Fall (Fatal Dreams #3) by Abbie Roads was a unique, heart pounding, paranormal thriller, that had me hooked from start to finish.
My first read by this author and for this series. Again, if you know me, I tend to read books out of order, but no worries this book reads as a standalones. And form what I have researched about this original series, so do the other books. That being said, this book isn’t like anything I have read before. It puts a new spin on crime dramas, and that uniqueness adds something more than special and extra, it makes it stand out and memorable.
I love finding these, out-of-box reads; it has taken something has has been done and elevates it into something rare and as I said, memorable. What I liked the most was the excellent balance of good with the dark and twisty. The tone shifts were on point and really brought this tale to life. Our MC was topnotch, well rounded and believable. His emotions were raw and powerful, not only in love but in his ambition to do what’s right.
Overall this book is a solid 5 star read. If the other books are anything like this one, then I’m missing out and need to go back and read the other two books. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will be addicted to this book.

Thomas Brown can’t see color, but he can see people’s true souls. His abilities allow him to work with criminal investigators and deliver justice to families of the wronged. And he’s starting to accept that his life will forever be in black and white…
Then he encounters Helena Grayse, and everything changes. She brings vibrant color to his world, and he brings acceptance and belief to hers. But Helena’s past is quickly catching up with her, and Thomas is in the crosshairs.
As an enemy hidden in plain sight threatens their every move, they’ll have to rely on their love to beat the darkness.
Abbie Roads loves Snickers Parfaits and acrylic pour painting. It’s her new obsession. The pour painting. Not the parfaits. Though the parfaits would qualify as an obsession too. She spends her days a mental health counselor always looking on the brightside, but at night she likes to write dark and dangerous things—with kissing and sexy times. She loves reading inspirational quotes and stories about serial killers. She is married to her favorite fellow and they have two cranky old rescue dogs that are not spoiled. Not at all. Okay. Maybe a little. Alright, the dogs are terribly spoiled, but they do give lots of cuddles and kisses in return.
Her first book RACE THE DARKNESS was a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Pick for Fall.

This book was just as spellbinding as the first one in the series. The characters capture your attention and hold it until the very end. You can read Hunt the Dawn as a standalone, however characters from the first book are mentioned in it, so in order to get the full impact, I suggest reading the first one (plus, you’ll love it just as much).
Lathan is a special consultant for the government in relation to cold cases. Currently he is working on a case involving several murders that he believes were perpetrated by one person. He is insistent that even though the cases seem unrelated, they actually are. As a rule, Lathan doesn’t involve himself much with people, but that all changes when he meets Evanee.
Evanee has had a hard life and all she wants is to save enough money to move out of town. Unfortunately, she can’t seem to shake her past. In the process of trying to run from it, Evanee ends up running into Lathan. She knows she shouldn’t trust a stranger, but there is something about him that puts her at ease. When she begins having vivid dreams, she and Lathan begin a journey together that neither of them expected.
A little intrigue, a little mystery, a little romance, a little drama…what’s not to love!

Race the Darkness is the first book in the Fatal Dreams series. Thankfully this is not a cliff hanger and the story is wrapped up well.
Everything changed for Xander when he was struck by lightning. With increased hearing abilities and the ability to read thoughts, he often helps out authorities as a special consultant. It’s difficult sometimes to manage all of the input, especially in regard to one voice he keeps hearing over and over again. It’s happened for years and his solution has been to drink it away.
On one occasion he finally lets the voice lead him and he ends up finding a girl and her grandmother trapped in a trailer with a mentally ill woman who has been abusing them. After rescuing them, he discovers an unusual connection between himself and the victim, Isleen.
As they spend more time together, Xander learns that Isleen has been having traumatic dreams that foretell the future. And, interestingly, Isleen is the only one that can help him manage his powers. The more they are around each other, the more their bond grows. But then, just as things seem to be going well, someone murders Isleen’s grandmother and then kidnaps Isleen.
This book is full of family drama, a religious cult, twists and turns, and the strange actions that some people take out of a twisted sense of love.
Race to Darkness is the first book in the Fatal Dreams series by Abbie Roads and is a paranormal romance. I enjoy reading Abbie’s books and this one did not disappoint me. This dark story has tales of legends, people with powers and a religious cult that you just want to see the same happen to them. You will find yourself going through a myriad of emotions as you walk along this path with these characters.
Isleen Walker has given up on ever being found. She has endured 8 years of hell and no longer has the will to live and she had made peace that death but event that seems to elude her. Nothing will take her away from her living nightmare. The only thing that has kept her alive this long is the belief in her dreams. Dreams that seem so real and yet so far away.
Xander Stone has a gift but if you ask him it is a curse, but if you want information then he is your man. He uses his gift to help catch criminals but the only way for him to survive is by drowning out the noise in his head. Now he doesn’t know why but he is being pulled towards something and can not stop himself. What he finds at his destination breaks his heart and is at a loss for who could have done such a thing.
When the two connect the world is set to right. Being apart is not an option. Is it madness or something much deeper than either of them suspect?
OMG the men in this story need a good slap but they get there in the end and there is a lot of crazy goings on that keeps you glued to the story to see what was going to happen next. I am waiting with baited breath to see what Abbie comes up with next for her next book.
Saving Mercy is the first book in Abbie Roads’ new series called Fatal Truth. It is my first encounter with this writer and holy moly, did it leave me in ruins or not! It was ‘bloody’ amazing! I will definitely read the next one in the series and then the next one and … you get the picture. It is a book that makes you question your sanity! It is twisted and bloody and dark and haunted and oh my god, so much pain … Meet Cain and Mercy that are linked through a horrific event twenty years ago, they are two broken people who realize that they are THE ONES for each other. You would think that there is no way in hell those two would work … but they do … in a craziest way possible they complement each other, center each other, bring light … If you do not like blood and anything related to it, then this book is NOT for you! If you are open to a possibility of going beyond it, you are guaranteed a crazy rollercoaster! You get constantly blindsided, there are twists and turns everywhere you go and yet, there is this underlying tenderness and kindness and goodness that you feel when you read about Cain and Mercy together. I cried and swore and many times I had to put the book down but it was like an addiction, I kept going back to it, every single time! Thank you Abbie Roads for this fantastic and thrilling read and please, do not take too much time with the next book in the series!

Cain Killion has a gift or is it a curse? He is able to connect with blood in a way no one else can. His connection to blood allows him to help authorities solve murders but at what cost to him? He has lived his life in the shadow of his father. A father who is pure evil. Cain is called to a murder to help investigate in only the way he can but what he sees at the crime scene brings his past slamming back to him. A past that no one should have ever had to witness but what he sees means he needs to talk to the one person he never wanted to see face to face, the one person who knows what it means. Cain is faced with saving her from one horror to another. He is the only one who can save her and he will stop at nothing to make that happen.
Mercy Ledger knows of the horrors, the terrors that Cain has seen. She knows because she has survived her own macabre massacre but one horror has been replaced by another. One she is not sure she will survive this time but is willing to do what it takes, so the one she loves will not suffer any further. She knows no one but them will understand because she is damaged but so is he.
Will Cain hurt one of the people he loves to save just to save another? Will he ever feel free from a past that he can never escape? Will Mercy make the ultimate sacrifice to save one man’s soul?
This book is dark, twisted and bloody but it will keep you riveted by the twists and unknown as the story unfolds. It is heart wrenching to read about two people so broken that you just want to scoop them up and make it all better.
