Happy Friday bookish people! I hope you’re all having a good day today. I am bringing you my book review for The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. If you have read this book let me know in the comments what you thought of it.
Blurb:
Cold cases get hot in this unputdownable mystery from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, no.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games series. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.
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 until the FBI come knocking: they’ve begun a classified programme that uses exceptional teenagers to crack infamous cold cases, and they need Cassie.
What Cassie doesn’t realise is that there’s more at risk than a few unsolved murders – 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 . . .
Born smart. Born tough. Born FBI.
My Review:
The Naturals is one of those books that I have heard great things about for years, especially from people who love similar books to me. I was hesitant to read it because I didn’t love this author’s other series, The Inheritance Games. I did enjoy reading this book. It is a quick, easy read. The plot and the mystery itself was very middle of the road for me. I didn’t find it shocking or twisty, it was quite predictable in my opinion. But I did love the way the author builds the characters and their relationships to each other within this book. I have since bought the next book in the series and I do want to continue.
