Publisher Description

Cold cases are about to get hot. Don’t miss this exhilarating crime thriller—perfect for fans of Criminal Minds and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder—from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games

Seventeen-year-old Cassie is a natural at reading people. Piecing together the tiniest details, she can tell you who you are and what you want. But, it's not a skill that she's ever taken seriously. That is, until the FBI come knocking: they've begun a classified program that uses exceptional teenagers to crack infamous cold cases, and they need Cassie.

What Cassie doesn't realize is that there's more at risk than a few unsolved homicides-especially when she's sent to live with a group of teens whose gifts are as unusual as her own. Soon, it becomes clear that no one in the Naturals program is what they seem. And when a new killer strikes, danger looms close. Caught in a lethal game of cat and mouse with a killer, the Naturals are going to have to use all of their gifts just to survive.

Think The Mentalist meets Pretty Little Liars -- Jennifer Lynn Barnes's The Naturals is a gripping psychological thriller with killer appeal, a to-die-for romance and the bones of a gritty and compelling new series.

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“Finished this a couple days ago and I really enjoyed this, not a whole lot else to it. It was really fast paced, easy to read, and I just found it really difficult to put down after it got going. The first 20% was slower as we were getting into it but as soon as it picked up it was unputdownable!! I feel like 5 stars may be a bit high compared with other 5 star reads but it was difficult to fault! I preferred this to Inheritance Games for sure. Loved it! ♥️”

Thumbs Up“I enjoyed this! I don't usually read YA so this was definitely outside of my usual genre. I liked the main character but some of the other characters felt a bit one dimensional. I also felt like the romance wasn't needed and took me out of the story a bit. That being said it was still an enjoyable read and I'll most likely continue with the series!”
