Jennifer Lynn Barnes

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' 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. Praise for THE NATURALS:"The Naturals is Criminal Minds for the YA world, and I loved every page." -New York Times best-selling author Ally Carter "This savvy thriller grabs readers right away." -Kirkus Reviews "Barnes shows every card at just the right moment, catching readers off-guard at the final reveal. It's a stay-up-late-to-finish kind of book, and it doesn't disappoint." -Publishers Weekly "In this high-adrenaline series opener ...even a psychic won't anticipate all the twists and turns." -Booklist

Whoa there, Cassie, I told myself sternly. Let's keep it PG general rule, I didn't curse much. 

"You tell me” The boy's words caught me off guard.

For Neha, who understands the human mind and uses her powers for good, not evil (mostly)

You’ve chosen and chosen well. Maybe this one will be the one who stops you. Maybe she’ll be different. Maybe she’ll be enough. The only thing that is certain is that she’s special.

you smile, because deep down, you know that she isn’t going to stop you. You don’t really want her to stop you. She’s fragile. Perfect. Marked. And the one thing this so-called psychic won’t see coming is you.

What in the world had I done to attract the attention of the FBI?

He and his team, this program—they didn’t just want to teach me how to hone my skills. They wanted to use them to catch killers. Serial killers.

Nonna’s granddaughter was moving cross-country to enroll in a government-sponsored gifted program over her dead and rotting corpse.

“Anything happens to her,” she told Michael, “this family—we know how to dispose of a body.”

If this is a prank, it’s a prank that’s going to get someone killed.”
