The Naturals (2 Book Series)
Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Science Fiction & Fantasy / Paranormal Romance / Young Adult
From Book 1:
Cassie Hobbes is not like most teenagers.
Most teenagers don't lose their mother in a bloody, unsolved murder.
Most teenagers can't tell who you are, where you're from and how you're likely to behave within moments of meeting you.
And most teenagers don't get chosen to join The Naturals.
Identified by the FBI as uniquely gifted, Cassie is recruited to an elite school where a small number of teens are trained to hone their exceptional abilites.
For Cassie, trying to make friends with the girls, and to figure out the two very different, very hot boys, is challenging enough.
But when a new serial killer strikes and Cassie is drawn into a lethal game of cat and mouse, she realises just how dangerous life in The Naturals could be.

The New Naturals
Gabriel Bump
From the Ernest J. Gaines Award-winning author of Everywhere You Don't Belong, a touching, timely novel—called a "tour de force" by Kaitlyn Greenidge (Libertie) and "wry and astonishing" by Publishers Weekly—about an attempt to found an underground utopia and the interwoven stories of those drawn to it. *Included in Fall Preview & Most-Anticipated Lists: New York Times, Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Vulture.com, Esquire.com, ELLE.com, The Millions, and Lit Hub* An abandoned restaurant on a hill off the highway in Western Massachusetts doesn't look like much. But to Rio, a young Black woman bereft after the loss of her newborn child, this hill becomes more than a safe haven—it becomes a place to start over. She convinces her husband to help her construct a society underground, somewhere...

The Naturals
Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Science Fiction & Fantasy / Paranormal Romance / Young Adult
Seventeen-year-old Cassie is a natural at reading people. Piecing together the tiniest details, she can tell you who you are and what you want. But it’s not a skill that she’s ever taken seriously. That is, until the FBI come knocking: they’ve begun a classified program that uses exceptional teenagers to crack infamous cold cases, and they need Cassie.
What Cassie doesn’t realize is that there’s more at risk than a few unsolved homicides—especially when she’s sent to live with a group of teens whose gifts are as unusual as her own. Sarcastic, privileged Michael has a knack for reading emotions, which he uses to get inside Cassie’s head—and under her skin. Brooding Dean shares Cassie’s gift for profiling, but keeps her at arm’s length.
Soon, it becomes clear that no one in the Naturals program is what they seem. And when a new killer strikes, danger looms closer than Cassie could ever have imagined. Caught in a lethal game of cat and mouse with a killer, the Naturals are going to have to use all of their gifts just to survive.

Seeking
Being psychic isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
After learning she has a key role in a centuries-old prophecy, Morgan Abbey hopes to use her abilities to accomplish the one thing she has wanted to do for a decade: find her mother. However, the Watchers who protect her refuse to let her search.
They have good reason to urge caution. A sinister and shadowy organization known as the Veneret want Morgan, convinced her role in the Prophecy will allow them to regain their position as rulers of humanity. With the Veneret after her, Morgan has no choice but to listen to the Watchers—and spend her time honing her abilities for the inevitable showdown.
Training with Morgan are her friends Lucas, Corbin, and Lia—three of the four Naturals that the Prophecy says will make her strong. Before they can fulfill their destiny, a fourth Natural must be found.
When Morgan discovers that her mother might be in danger, she is prepared to dismiss all the warnings of the Watchers in order to bring her safely home. With the help of her friends, Morgan will risk everything in an attempt to save her mom. But forces darker than she can imagine are out there, waiting to make their move. Before her search is over, Morgan will find that not everything is as it seems—and those she thought she could trust may just be her greatest enemies.
Becoming
Life in the safe house is routine. In the three months since her last run-in with Orrick Williams, Morgan Abbey has been training with her four Naturals and their Watcher friends.
But routines are meant to be broken, and the reappearance of a familiar face turns life in the cabin on its head.
Through relational upheaval and secrets revealed, Morgan has to keep everything together to fulfill her destiny. But when it's time, will she have the resolve to do what needs to be done?
Will she be able to kill Orrick?
