The Naturals held my attention from the beginning. I read it in under 48 hours and was constantly guessing what was going to come next.

The possible love triangle is not something I read often but I found it very appropriate for a young adult book. However, it was not the main focus.

Cassie was an enjoyable character to read the perspective of, but I can't wait to see how she develops and more of the other characters. I think this is an easy bingeable series that does not require a lot of thinking but will keep you on your toes with each mystery the team uncovers. I am excited to the relationships of all the characters grow in the series.

This was a good book. I had a great time reading it. I liked the plot and I didn't see all the twists coming. I didn't care for the love triangle. I am excited to read the next book.

I couldnt put it down. Wow.
This book made me feel sick more than once (but kinda in a good way ???). The way the mind and psychology is Projected is incredible. I am still in shock.
Nichts für schwache Nerven:)

3.5

Maybe the fact that I’m an adult but some aspects of the book have bothered me like some expressions and words the characters have used despite being teenagers. I liked the story, it got better as the plot thickened, and I really enjoyed the parts when they were profiling and stuff. I just didn’t like the love triangle and the everyone is instantly in love with the mc theme. 
I love YA books but this was annoying to me, so I can’t give more than 3.5 stars.

Another amazing book by Jennifer Lynn Barnes! 
This had twists and turns I wasn't expecting, a great bunch of characters and it was also really easy to read.
