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 readers on the edge of their seats (and looking over their shoulders) as they race through the pages of this thrilling novel.

This was one of the best series I have ever read. So good! As a YA addict this and books like a good girls guide to murder are on the same level as this, and a good girls guide to murder and the following series WAS THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. so that’s a pretty damn good book.

Pure YA gold

I liked the change of tones for each character and the voice adding affect to whether a scene was suspenseful or filled with fear.

Great listen!

I am such a fan of this series!! I get so gripped by the story and the way it flows is amazing. The group of teens that are so smart in their respective ways that are enlisted to help with the FBI profiling are next level. This one was super good as it focuses on deans serial killer dad and a new killer who is replicating his murder style since Dean’s dad is in prison. I love how man twists & turns it had and how the story progressed ahhhh!

So freaking good!!!
