When the FBI recruits seventeen-year-old Cassie for a classified program hunting cold cases, she thinks her gift for reading people will finally matter—until she's thrust into a house full of equally gifted (and equally mysterious) teens who can see right through her defenses. Michael's emotional intelligence and Dean's uncanny profiling skills make Cassie feel exposed in ways she's never experienced, and the tension crackles as the group bonds over their shared exceptional talents. But when a new killer emerges and the stakes become brutally real, Cassie realizes that nothing about the Naturals program—or her fellow recruits—is quite what it seems. This is a thrilling blend of mystery, danger, and slow-burn romance wrapped in a premise that'll have you convinced these characters could solve literally any case.
