Twelve picks up years after the original Naturals series, with Cassie and the gang now running the FBI program themselves. When twelve-year-old Mackenzie McBride threatens to jump from a lighthouse unless someone investigates a string of suspicious teen deaths, the Naturals step in—and things get emotionally intense, fast.
The novella delivers a satisfying dose of nostalgia for longtime fans. Cassie, Dean, Lia, Michael, and Sloane are older, more haunted, and still iconic. Their dynamic has shifted, but the emotional flashbacks and character glow-ups hit just right.
Mackenzie’s trauma and instincts add weight to the story, though the mystery itself wraps up quickly. It’s more of a character check-in than a twisty thriller, and new readers might feel a bit lost without the full series context.
Overall, Twelve feels like a bonus episode—short, satisfying, and emotionally resonant, but not quite groundbreaking. Perfect for fans craving one last glimpse into the Naturals universe.

I absolutely loved this series and how she can bring characters who had such small parts back with a bang. I will be reading all of her other books, because I fell in love with her writing style, story and characters.
