First Line Friday – Deadly Deceit (Natalie Walters)

Posted 15 November 2019 by Katie in Christian Fiction, Contemporary, First Line Fridays, Romance, Suspense / 8 Comments

Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. This week I’m sharing the first line from Natalie Walters’ new release Deadly Deceit, which is next up on my TBR. I love romantic suspense, so I’m really looking forward to this one!

About the Book

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?

    Well we chose the same book!
    My first line comes from Deadly Deceit by Natalie Walters:

    In the face of small-town news, all creativity left Vivian DeMarco.

    Today on my blog I’m sharing the first line from Diamond in the Rough by Jen Turano:https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/11/14/first-line-friday-110/. It’s SO good. I’m currently on chapter 17, so I’ll share the first line from there.

    “Can’t thank you enough, Reginald, for insisting on accompanying Poppy and me as we search for that peddler,” Murray said from the far side of the sleigh, staunchly ignoring the frown Poppy, who was squished in between Reginald and Murray, was sending him.

    Hope you have a great weekend filled with awesome reading time. 🙂❤📖

  4. On my blog, I’m sharing Riona by Linda Windsor. Here, I will share the first line in Chapter 26 of my current read, A Defense of Honor by Kristi Ann Hunter. “Kit was anxious as she waited for Jess to return from London, jumping every time the wind blew a bit too loudly around the corner of the house or whenever a child closed a door with a bit too much force.” Have a wonderful weekend!

    Happy Friday! My first line is from “Because of You” by Becky Wade:

    “Maddie Winslow met the man of her dreams the same day that her friend Olivia introduced Maddie to her new boyfriend. Which would have been splendid, except that the man of Maddie’s dreams was Olivia’s new boyfriend.”

  6. I really liked that one I hope you do too!
    This week on my blog I shared the first line from Heart of a Royal by Hannah Currie. It’s also my current read so I’ll share the first line from chapter 22 here: “The reception had been going on for hours–and no one seemed in any rush to end it.” Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
