A chilling copycat killer has the Naturals in his crosshairs in this exhilarating crime thriller from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games.
Seventeen-year-old Cassie Hobbes has a gift for profiling people. Her talent has landed her a spot in an elite FBI program for teens with innate crime-solving abilities, and into some harrowing situations. After barely escaping a confrontation with an unbalanced killer obsessed with her mother's murder, Cassie hopes she and the rest of the team can stick to solving cold cases from a distance.
But when victims of a brutal new serial killer start turning up, the Naturals are pulled into an active case that strikes too close to home: the killer is a perfect copycat of Dean's incarcerated father-a man he'd do anything to forget. Forced deeper into a murderer's psyche than ever before, will the Naturals be able to outsmart the enigmatic killer's brutal mind games before this copycat twists them into his web for good?
With her trademark wit, brilliant plotting, and twists that no one will see coming, Jennifer Lynn Barnes will keep you on the edge of your seats (and looking over your shoulders) as you race through the pages of this thrilling novel.

From NOVL Nation
“Holy **** Jennifer Lynn Barnes’s writing is addictive. Between the short chapters and the fast paced plot her books are impossible to put down… The plot is twisty and compelling, and I devoured it obsessively.”
– Michaeline, @michaelinereadsalot
“Truly a blast. So wonderfully fast-paced, and the “Criminal Minds meets Teen Drama” vibe was something I didn’t realize was a gaping hole in my reading palate that I’m now very much looking forward to expanding upon.”
– Tia, goodreads.com/wanderingrose
“The band of teenagers that makes up the Naturals were so quirky and loveable (even when they were snarky and mean), and Barnes does an incredible job of making you care about them and their stories. The plot is twisty and compelling, and I devoured it obsessively.”
