The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

adventurous dark mysterious sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

2.5

It very much feels like a book of its time. YA meets Criminal Minds. Cassie is not what I would call a compelling character but I would say the ending is a solid twist.
