Barnes, Jennifer Lynn. The Naturals. The Naturals Series, Book 1. 2103. 308p. ISBN 9781423168232. Available as an eBook on Overdrive.
At seventeen, Cassie has spent the last five years living with her father’s Italian relatives, ever since her mother was brutally murdered and her father, in the Air Force, has been posted overseas. She’s able to read people with a simple glance. She can tell what they like or don’t like, how they think, and what motivates them.
When a teenager about her age comes to the restaurant where she is a waitress and leaves her a cryptic business card, Cassie is intrigued. Special Agent Briggs, from the FBI, wants to meet with her. That boy looked too young to work for the FBI, but Cassie still calls, and she arranges a meeting with Briggs.
Special Agent Briggs is in charge of a unit called “The Naturals,” a group of teenagers who possess special abilities that it can take decades for adults to learn, if they ever manage to master it. Cassie is a natural profiler, and, if she’s willing, she would join the team whose task is to comb through cold cases and discover new information that can lead to arrests.
Cassie joins Michael, who reads emotions; Lia, who reads lies and tells them better than anyone; Sloane, expert at numbers and patterns; and Dean, another profiler and the son of a prolific serial killer.
As Cassie begins to train with the other teens and with her handlers, a current case spills into their lives, and Cassie becomes the target of a serial killer who appears fascinated with her and might even have committed her mother’s murder. Can she help her team find the killer before she becomes the next victim?
