Was it the worst book ever? No. Was it the best book ever? Also no. It's basically a dark, young adult version of City Spies that really likes detailed murders. It had a decent love triangle though. I read it in one sitting and I will read…

Who is the intended audience for this book? It must be people who really enjoy reading about psychopathic serial murderers. Read only if you enjoy reading violence, killing and torture. If you must get your serial killer fix, try "The…

If there's two things that Jennifer Lynn Barnes loves is love triangles and mysteries! I loved this even more than the Inheritance Games and found the story creepy and compelling. Also if you're not on team Dean than you are on the wrong…

A gripping story from start to finish. A group of teenagers become part of the FBI - criminal mind vibes. It has a romance triangle but no spice. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

An excellent mystery thriller.

The Naturals reminds me a lot of Little White Lies and it's writing style, which makes sense because they're by the same person. Rated 15+. Cassie's mother was murdered and the killer never caught. Ever since then her mother's lesson about…

This was a super fun read. I don't normally read mystery novels, but this one was a good change of pace. It was fast paced and kept your focus. You were able to put together all of the clues and you started to think like a profiler.…

This was a fun thriller to read! Lots of suspense to keep you turning pages, an inside look into a serial killer's mind is unsettling yet fascinating, and the characters are interesting and believable. Highly recommended for teens who…

I really liked this book. So many of these teen team books lately have centered around paranormal abilities of the members. Even though I like that kind of book, this was a breath of fresh air because the team members all have natural…

This is a great book for intense murder-mystery fans. The thrill in this book is not found anywhere else, but I would avoid this book if you cannot handle graphic images and have a very visual mind and memory.

Although I'm an avid reader, this was my first CSI-type book. The Naturals is an FBI-facilitated training program that harnesses the innate abilities of teens to track down serial killers. The way that each teen aproaches each crimescene…

I was disappointed with this book. I really wanted to like it but it just didn't meet my expectations. I saw great reviews from readers and critics alike and expected to love it and read the whole series but I won't be reading any more. I…

I loved this book so much! It pulls you in and you can't put it down. Finished in the first day. If you love criminal minds and the csi world this is so for you.

Welcome to a world where teenagers solve murders and crimes for the FBI. The novel revolves around seventeen-year-old Cassie, who can 'read' people. From a glance or two at one person, she can notice the tiniest details about them and…

This book is amazing. It is filled with unexpected events that keep you reading. One of the best books I have read. The beginning was a bit strange but the rest kept me turning the pages.
