Blog Tour : The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes 
Genre : YA Mystery 
Publisher : Little Brown 
Publication Date : November 5th, 2013 
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 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.

Jennifer Lynn Barnes's The Naturals is a gripping novel with killer appeal and a to-die-for romance. Don't miss the other books in the Naturals: Killer Instinct,  All In, and Bad Blood.  
 

As a huge fan of Criminal Minds(one of my fave shows), I really enjoyed this one! Cassie was a fun protagonist and I enjoyed watching her use her abilities to solve crimes. We have a love triangle going on this one too and I'm eager to see in which direction it goes. Overall it was an interesting YA mystery read and I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series!
