    5 stars "This is a spectacular series. … Fatale is awesome. But this whole series is. So many plots and twists, it does keep you guessing as to what is going to happen next. But the read is great, and Simone knows how to write a great book. But this series, I do not know how she finds all the things that can go wrong or right, I love this and her for keeping me intrigued and reading. Thank you, Simone." Mary Hodges 
    5 stars "So many things you just don't see coming, the suspense is tightly woven into this story. Fatale, the 7th book in The Master’s Child series, is one thrilling, sexy, jaw-dropping tale, suspense-filled from the beginning to the very end... I give Fatale 5 stars, though it deserves at least 10!" Emily Zisman
