I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Fatal Promises continues Diana Munoz Bad Legacy series. I'm this installment Munoz delivers an emotional and entertaining friend to lovers' romance. With its themes of mental health and emotional trauma It will appeal to readers seeking a suspenseful and action-packed tale that features relatable characters.

Fatal Promises gives us Flor and Manny's story with The Great One at the center of the evil and danger dogging their steps. Readers who read Broken Promises would have met Flor already. In book 1, one learns she's a police officer while book 2 explore her past and the reason she's on the infamous kill list. Flor is determined to find her mother to learn the truth behind The Great One's fixation. She intends to do so on her own, however her partner and friend Manny has no intention of letting her go it alone.

Manny and Flor shared a long history of friendship with both harboring romantic feelings for the other. While their friendship remained strong, they never pursued the romantic feelings. Although, Manny desires more, Flor fears taking their relationship beyond friendship. She suffered physical and emotional trauma in the past which contributed to her keeping persons at distance. With this looming threat, Flor seeks to overcome her fears while trying to prove her mother's innocence and prevent The Great One from carrying out their evil plan.

Unlike the previous book, Fatal Promises focused more on the relationship between the protagonists. Also, attention was given to struggles Flor dealt with from her past trauma. I enjoyed seeing her work through her pain and opening up herself to a solid romantic relationship with Manny.

The identity of The Great One still remains a mystery. Their manipulative skills shined through once again as they found the perfect patsy.

Once again while the romantic thread has closure, the suspense thread leaves readers with questions. Fatal Promises was a great addition to the series. Well plotted, Fatal Promises was difficult to put down and it definitely left me wanting more.
