cassie is approached by michael in the diner that she works at. he gives her a business card for an fbi agent. upon meeting with him, he informs her of a special program, the naturals. he wants her to join, because he believes that she will fit right in. the naturals program is made of teenagers that have special skills that make them valuable to the fbi for finding criminals

i really liked this book. it gave all the criminal minds vibes (criminal minds girlie over here) and i LOVED it! some of the characters in the naturals give the same vibes as some of the characters from criminal minds, which was really cool

i guessed several things, but not in their entirety. this book was really suspenseful at times & is written so well. this was a really quick read and iโ€™m excited to dive into the rest of the series

iโ€™m currently hosting a buddy read for killer instincts (which actually ended earlier this week, but i am behind ๐Ÿคฃ). iโ€™m also hosting a buddy read for the next book, all in, at the end of the month. weโ€™re planning to read all in 2/21-26. link in bio for the fable group if youโ€™d like to join!
