Dive back into the world of The Naturals in this e-novella from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games.
Cassie Hobbes has been working with the FBI since she was a teenager. Now twenty-three years old, she and her fellow Naturals have taken over running the program that taught them everything they know. As a unit, they’re responsible for identifying new Naturals — and solving particularly impossible cases. When their latest case brings back a ghost from their past, Cassie and the other Naturals find themselves racing against the clock — and reliving their own childhood traumas. In a small, coastal town in Maine, there has been a rash of teen suicides — or at least, that’s what the police believe. Mackenzie McBride, age twelve, thinks differently. Desperate to make herself heard, she stands at the top of a lighthouse, threatening to jump . . . unless the FBI agents who rescued her from a kidnapper at age six come to hear her out. Enter the Naturals. It doesn’t take Cassie long to realize that Mackenzie isn’t bluffing: she truly is convinced that the suicides are murder, and she really will jump if she can’t get the FBI to believe her. To the outside world, Mackenzie is nothing more than a traumatized child. But so was Cassie, once upon a time. So were Michael, Dean, Sloane, Lia, and Celine. With a storm rolling in off the ocean and Mackenzie’s position becoming more precarious by the moment, the Naturals have very little time to get to the truth about the deaths–and about twelve-year-old Mackenzie McBride.

Good read
So out of the series this one was not my favorite. It was good but the others held my attention and I didnât want them to end.

I like a novella
when itâs an interesting expansion of the storyline. This one was. Deeper insights into the team and a potential future for their growth. I hope thereâs more to come!

Perfect peek at some of my favorite characters
The Naturals series is one of my favorite young adult series. When it ended I was sad, but knew that I would enjoy going back and re-reading the books down the road. I was absolutely elated when I saw that Jennifer Lynn Barnes had published a novella in the series that took place 5 years after the last book. It was like having her read my mind and learn exactly what I needed in my life.Although the novella was a quick read, I still savored every minute of it. I loved catching up with the characters and seeing what they were up to now and what was going on with the Naturals program (hint, hint: I would love a new series with the previous Naturals as the adults training new Naturals). The mystery had me guessing. I thought for sure I knew who it was, then when it was revealed I had a total DUH moment. I should have figured it out.I love this series and this novella. I love Cassie and Dean and Michael and Lia and Sloane. This was a perfect way to give me the taste that I needed. I hope that Jennifer Lynn Barnes comes back to these characters again sometime down the road.

Absolutely love these stories. Wish this could have been a whole book. I really liked learning about each persons past and how they became a natural.

As Good as Usual
Jennifer Lynn Barnes did it again. Brought us back into the world of The Naturals and boy was it missed. The pain and angst, the mystery and the answer⦠all great as usual. Loved the added element of reconnecting The Naturals at the age of the FMC. Loved Loved Loved⦠JLB please bring them back with a whole other series of mystery and fun!!

epilogue
Great little venture into the future. Seeing them 5 years later. Still a unit. Still a family. Get a little bit of Laurel, Briggs and Sterling.

Tutti i libri della serie the naturals mi hanno incantata, nel momento in cui sono venuta a sapere dell’esistenza di Twelve mi sono bastati pochi click per ritrovarmi di nuovo con i ragazzi del team.Sono contenta dell’acquisto e di aver vissuto un’altra avventura con loro.

This was such an amazing short story! I loved seeing all the characters again now as official agents/workers of the FBI! I NEED MORE!!

This was too short for me. I hope it will be continued into a new series when they are actually old enough to have sex and i mean sex on the page and not knowing that they will have sex off the page.Read first four books in series before this one, you will not understand it unless you have read the four books before this one.
