Synopsis: His smile is a crime.
Emerson May is “the good girl.” She’s the perfect daughter, the caring friend, the animal shelter volunteer. But when her best friend’s brother breaks into her room, his hands covered in blood, she doesn’t scream or call the cops. Because when Deacon smiles at her, Emmie doesn’t want to be good… The whole town believes notorious troublemaker Deacon is guilty of assaulting his father. Only Emmie knows a secret that could set him free. But if she follows her heart, she could be trusting a killer…
You can’t always trust the boy next door.
reality for a life writing YA fiction. She lives in Ohio (Go Bucks!) with her husband, three children, and a ridiculously furry dog named Yeti.
Ten Second Q and A with Natalie:
Jen: What are some some scary influences (books, movies, TV shows, real life phobias, etc.) that inspire you as you are writing?
Natalie: I’ve always gravitated towards books, movies, and television shows with very high stakes, often a paranormal or scary element, and really fast pacing. I also really enjoy books where you can’t figure out exactly what’s going on and you’re desperate to pull the different threads until something makes sense. And I do like a bit of romance on the side, but none of those elements seem to guarantee my satisfaction. I admit I’m picky, but it has everything to do with characters.
Jen: I definitely saw all those threads to pull in My Secret to Tell, and I loved the setting of this book too. Thanks for stopping by!

The mystery sounds really well-done with the kind of twist the leave you guessing – my favorite! I have Natalie on my TBR and hope to try this series soon! Thanks for the great post, Jen & Happy Friday 🙂
Sounds intriguing!
I hadn't heard of this book before. Very pretty cover.

New book for me, but definitely interesting. Happy weekend, Jen 🙂
I'm reading this one soon and so excited! I've enjoyed her other two, although her debut is still my favorite and was so fabulously done.
I don't read a lot of thrillers or suspense, but Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas was a book I really enjoyed, the ending really stayed with me.
I don't have a favorite but I recently enjoyed The Girl on the Train.
Don't have a favorite as of now as I have not read that many thrillers 🙂
