Cassie has always been able to read people with an almost uncanny accuracy, but her quiet gift becomes impossible to ignore when an FBI agent recruits her for a secret program designed to solve cold cases. She's whisked away to live with other gifted teens—each with their own extraordinary talents for profiling and manipulation—and thrust into a world where nothing (and no one) is quite what it seems. When a serial killer begins terrorizing the city, the stakes skyrocket, and Cassie realizes she'll need to trust her instincts more than ever, especially when someone in her new circle might be playing a dangerous game. It's a thrilling blend of mystery, psychological tension, and the kind of morally gray characters that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Think moody synths, clever lyrics, and that electric feeling of being watched. Artists like Purity Ring, The 1975, and Arctic Monkeys. Sweet but sharp—mystery meets connection.”
