The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove

Small-town ambition meets dark consequences in this deliciously twisted tale that feels like Cruel Intentions meets southern Gothic. Natalie Hargrove has it all planned out—queen of the Coronation ball, scholarship secured, escape route ready. But when a harmless prank spirals into something deadly, her perfect facade begins to crack. Sharp, atmospheric, and unputdownable, this is YA fiction with real bite. Perfect for fans of psychological drama and morally complex characters who'll keep you up way past midnight.
