You Deserve to Die

You Deserve to Die by N.L. Hinkens
Unrated

A bouquet of forget-me-knots is delivered to our table. The card says: You deserve to die!

I said I’d never go back to Iowa. Not after what happened to my sister. Not after what I did.

I built a new life.

Now, twelve years later, I’m back for a class reunion. I only returned because my best friend is dead. Bitten by a rattlesnake. A bizarre accident that doesn’t add up.

And so I’m dragged back to the place I ran from. Five of us, reunited over dinner. Catching up on marriages, children, careers. Pretending the past is behind us.

That’s when the bouquet arrives.

A few days later, another bunch of flowers arrives at my home. The card: Once a killer, always a killer.

AN EXHILARATING BLEND OF BREATHTAKING SUSPENSE AND NAIL-BITING TENSION WITH A SHOCKING FINAL TWIST.

Please note this book was previously published as The Class Reunion.

N.L. Hinkens

Growing up among the misty hills of Ireland, N.L. Hinkens learned early that every shadow had a story and every whispered rumor could become a chilling tale. Today, that same gift for uncovering the sinister beneath the ordinary defines her work as a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of psychological thrillers. Hinkens crafts tightly wound suspense where ordinary people find themselves in extraordinary danger, and trust is always a loaded question.

Before she found her voice in the world of psychological suspense, Hinkens wrote epic fantasy and post-apocalyptic adventures for young adults, sharpening her skill for weaving intricate plots and compelling character arcs. But it was the slow-burn tension of psychological thrillers that eventually captured her imagination—and her heart. Readers now know her for novels like The Cabin Below and The Caregiver, where the walls seem to close in as secrets unravel and no one is ever quite who they seem.

Influenced by the storytelling traditions of her Irish roots, Hinkens builds her thrillers with the precision of a puzzle master. She starts at the end—crafting her signature shocking twists—and meticulously works backward, ensuring that each chapter tightens the noose a little more. Her commitment to layered narratives and page-turning suspense has earned her accolades, including the Grand Prize from the Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

Now based in the United States, N.L. Hinkens continues to deliver fast-paced psychological thrillers that explore the darker sides of trust, loyalty, and survival. Whether trapped in a remote cabin or navigating the dangers of seemingly safe suburban life, her characters—and her readers—are never quite safe until the final page.

For those who crave thrillers filled with sharp turns, flawed heroes, and endings that linger long after the book is closed, Hinkens' novels are an irresistible draw into the shadows.
