Dive back into the world of The Naturals in this e-novella from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games. 

Cassie Hobbes has been working with the FBI since she was a teenager. Now twenty-three years old, she and her fellow Naturals have taken over running the program that taught them everything they know. As a unit, they're responsible for identifying new Naturals — and solving particularly impossible cases. When their latest case brings back a ghost from their past, Cassie and the other Naturals find themselves racing against the clock — and reliving their own childhood traumas. In a small, coastal town in Maine, there has been a rash of teen suicides — or at least, that's what the police believe. Mackenzie McBride, age twelve, thinks differently. Desperate to make herself heard, she stands at the top of a lighthouse, threatening to jump . . . unless the FBI agents who rescued her from a kidnapper at age six come to hear her out. Enter the Naturals. It doesn't take Cassie long to realize that Mackenzie isn't bluffing: she truly is convinced that the suicides are murder, and she really will jump if she can't get the FBI to believe her. To the outside world, Mackenzie is nothing more than a traumatized child. But so was Cassie, once upon a time. So were Michael, Dean, Sloane, Lia, and Celine. With a storm rolling in off the ocean and Mackenzie's position becoming more precarious by the moment, the Naturals have very little time to get to the truth about the deaths–and about twelve-year-old Mackenzie McBride.

From NOVL Nation

“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.”

– Michaeline, @michaelinereadsalot

“This book is entertaining, fun, and thrilling in all the best ways… The story is gripping and fast-paced—I found myself flying through the chapters, completely absorbed in the mystery… The Naturals is smart, suspenseful, and addictive—perfect for fans of thrillers who love sharp characters and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end. Now I need to read the rest of the series—I’m officially hooked!”

–Patrycja, @rara_avis_nyc
