The Naturals The Naturals

Author: Jennifer Lynn Barnes    
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Release Date: November 5, 2013

Synopsis from Goodreads:
 
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 knocking: 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.

Sarcastic, privileged Michael has a knack for reading emotions, which he uses to get inside Cassie’s head—and under her skin. Brooding Dean shares Cassie’s gift for profiling, but keeps her at arm’s length.

Soon, it becomes clear that no one in the Naturals program is what they seem. And when a new killer strikes, danger looms closer than Cassie could ever have imagined. 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.

Why I'm Excited:

A group of teenagers with special skills/powers who work for the FBI on cold cases?! This book sounds so amazing and I can't wait to read it. I'm seriously loving what Disney-Hyperion has been putting out lately and I love this new cover design, it's simple but way more stunning than the same old blond girl on a cover. I'm always drawn to YA mysteries (as anyone who reads this blog knows since I never shut up about it), but add in some superpowers and it becomes a gimme, gimme, gimme situation. 

What are you waiting for on this last day in July (can you believe it? Summer is flying by!)? Link me up!

  32. I'm loving the Disney-Hyperion offerings of late, too. And I love Jennifer Lynn Barnes, so this is a must-read. Even if that summary didn't sound half as awesome as it does. Great pick. Off to NG to request! :D

  33. I got this on NetGalley. I'm really excited about it, sounds great. My first by this author.

  34. I saw this one on someone else's WoW a week or so ago, and was intrigued! I agree, the cover is way more eye-catching than it would be having just some blond on it (though I haven't actually seen the old cover). It does make me wonder what could be in that box... lol. It's so silly what my mind focuses on. But hey, the synopsis sounds intriguing as well! It's not just a pretty cover!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oh, nice! I would totally into this book, as well. And I also love that the cover isn't something you would normally see. Adding this to GR now, thanks!

Hello, there! Thanks for taking the time to comment. I read each and every one and will do my best to respond--usually on your blog instead of on mine. I will, however, always answer direct questions. Due to serious time restraints, this blog is now an award free zone, but I appreciate the thought!
