Our view
“The Naturals” is a fast, easy-reading YA crime novel, the kind that is over in a day. Its hook is a group of gifted teenagers recruited by the FBI to work cold cases, narrated in the first person by Cassie, who reads people from the smallest details. Some find the mystery predictable and enjoy it anyway. It opens a four-book series and works well between heavier reads.

About the book
"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. 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."-- Provided by Amazon
