Review: "The Naturals," by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Cassie isn't like most kids. Her mother disappeared when Cassie was younger but the scene was a bloody mess and her mother was presumed dead. Cassie has always had an ability to read people and now she's being recruited for a secret program in the FBI called The Naturals. A handful of teenagers from across the country have shown natural skill at analyzing criminals, whether it be as a human lie detector like Lia, a profiler like Dean, or a master of all things like Michael. Cassie has a hidden agenda though - she wants to use her spot to research what could have happened to her mother. When a serial killer strikes and the Naturals begin to analyze the crimes, Cassie recognizes a stunning link to her mother's murder. Will it lead to solving the crime after all these years?

Mrs. Denney's Rating: ***
