A review by mackenzierm
Killer Instinct by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

4.0

Cassie Hobbes is a seventeen-year-old with a gift for profiling people and has landed a spot in an elite FBI program, the Naturals, for teens with an innate crime-solving ability. Cassie barely escaped a confrontation with an unbalanced killer who was obsessed with her mother’s murder and she’s hoping her and the rest of the team can stick to solving cold cases from a distance. Unfortunately, a new serial killer’s victims start turning up, pulling the Naturals into another active case that strikes too close to home – a copycat killer of Dean’s incarcerated father. 

KILLER INSTINCT was such an interesting read, diving into yet another case that touches a little too close to home. 

I really enjoyed The Naturals character development in this second installment of the series, as well as the growth in relationships the characters share. 

The plot was twisty and fast-paced keeping me guessing as the conclusion came to an ending I didn’t anticipate. I really liked the ending and am really curious how it will influence the future books in this series.
