Independent and tenacious journalist Vivian DeMarco is back in Walton, Georgia, for one reason–to do her job and get out. When her boss suddenly dies under suspicious circumstances, Vivian’s only hope for finding the truth–and the next big story–is small-town law enforcement’s lanky poster boy, Deputy Ryan Frost. But the deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes, and Vivian finds herself fighting for not only answers but also her life. False leads, incriminating emails, and someone called The Watcher force Vivian to confront the secret of her past and decide: How much is she willing to risk for the sake of a headline?
Author Natalie Walters welcomes you back to Walton, Georgia, where everyone knows your name–but no one knows your secret.

Summary
Deadly Deceit by Natalie Walter is a romantic suspense that will keep you attention.
Natalie was able to create a jourlaist that I actually liked; that does not happen often. He boss tells her he has a marmalade dropper (I loved that). You will learn what it means in the story. This is what makes her agree to go to his house late at night. When she arrives he is almost unconscious.
There are so many secrets in this story and you try to unravel which ones matter and how are they tied together. Ryan was my favorite character. I enjoyed how they talked about him going away to training as Clark Kent and coming back Superman. They both had a plethora of superhero one liners to add some humor to the book.
Ryan and Natalie eventually work together to try to figure out who is causing such havoc. The ending was a little too predictable but not the culprit.
Quirky characters & surprising plot twists create a very fine story that is as unusual as it is entertaining. The secondary characters were well placed and added depth and enjoyment to the story.
Sexual content – kissing
Violence – deaths, blackmail, kidnapping
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
