The Naturals are faced with their most chilling mysteries yet, in this stunning conclusion to the Naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games. When Cassie Hobbes joined the FBIs Naturals program, she had one goal: uncover the truth about her mothers murder. But now, everything Cassie thought she knew about what happened that night has been called into question. Her mother is alive, and the people holding her captive are more powerful -- and dangerous -- than anything the Naturals have faced so far. As Cassie and the team work to uncover the secrets of a group that has been killing in secret for generations, they find themselves racing a ticking clock. New victims. New betrayals. New secrets.When the bodies begin piling up, it soon becomes apparent that this time, the Naturals arent just hunting serial killers.Theyre being hunted. From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-In this fourth volume of the series, Cassie Hobbs and her team of teenage FBI profilers are on the hunt for an organized group of serial killers. When people from their past investigations begin turning up dead, Cassie realizes that her team members are actually the prey. Soon, the very qualities that have made them such an effective team start to unravel them all. Cassie reads people by studying their behavior, personalities, and environment, but has blocked much of her own painful history after her mothers disappearance. Lia the lie detector puts herself in danger to get information from a cult; Michael the emotion reader goes head-to-head with his abusive father; Sloane the statistician digs deeper into logic and numbers to protect her grieving heart; and Dean the profiler has to face the possibility that hes more like his cold and calculating father than he ever knew. Initially, the narrative is stilted, relying heavily on exposition to get the story rolling, but once the unreasonably smug serial killer delivers his tip and is out of the way, the writing picks up significantly. Character motivation and the storys feinting twists become the driving force of this tightly plotted and gruesomely compelling thriller. Subplots and red herrings abound but converge logically, creating a satisfying and surprising conclusion with room for even more sequels. This volume can be read as a stand-alone for those immune to plot spoilers.
