The Naturals

Product Information

Cassie's mother is Lorelai Hobbes. Cassie used to travel all around the country with her mother who was a "psychic". When Cassie was twelve, her mother went missing, presumed dead, and she was sent to live with her paternal (and very Italian) family. Her father is in the military and never played a major role in her life. She is from Colorado, U.S.A. The concept behind THE NATURALS is kind of interesting, but it doesn't work for various reasons. The big one: It's hard to accept the premise that the FBI would hire a bunch of kids (who aren't even attending high school) to solve crimes, especially ones involving serial killers. At one point, Cassie wonders if the FBI even knows the "Naturals" program exists, except for the two agents who recruited her. Readers may suspend disbelief for the sake of pure entertainment, but the novel's all over the place. It's predictable and full of cliches (a love triangle, insta-love, missing parents) and has unlikable characters. But when victims of a brutal new serial killer start turning up, the Naturals are pulled into an active case that strikes too close to home: the killer is a perfect copycat of Dean’s incarcerated father — a man he’d do anything to forget. Forced deeper into a murderer’s psyche than ever before, will the Naturals be able to outsmart the enigmatic killer’s brutal mind games before this copycat twists them into his web for good? Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an equally dangerous and much more painful mystery. For the first time in years, there’s been a break in her mother’s case. As personal issues and tensions between the team mount, Cassie and the Naturals will be faced with impossible odds — and impossible choices.

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.Read a full summary of The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes below.
