The Naturals Books in Order

The Naturals series centers on Cassie Hobbes, a teenager with an uncanny ability to read people. After years of using that skill to help her con artist mother, she is recruited by the FBI to join a classified program that trains gifted teens to profile criminals and solve cold cases.

Cassie moves into a house at Quantico with four other Naturals: Dean, another profiler with a dark family history; Michael, who reads emotions; Lia, a human lie detector and expert manipulator; and Sloane, a statistics savant who sees patterns everywhere. They work under the supervision of federal agents, but live more like a found family than a typical team.

Each book digs into a different case while peeling back more layers of the characters. In The Naturals, they hunt a serial killer whose crimes echo the unsolved murder of Cassie’s mother. Killer Instinct drags the group into an active investigation when a new killer starts copying the methods of Dean’s imprisoned father.

All In moves the action to Las Vegas, where a string of public murders tied to casinos and coded number tattoos forces the Naturals to confront a killer who treats the entire city like a puzzle. Bad Blood pulls together threads from the earlier books as Cassie finally gets close to the truth about her mother and the shadowy network of killers operating behind the scenes.

The novella Twelve revisits the characters as young adults who now run the Naturals program themselves. When a twelve year old girl in a coastal town threatens to jump from a lighthouse unless they investigate a rash of supposed suicides, Cassie and her friends have to face both a new mystery and old scars.

These stories are fast, tense, and often dark, with frank depictions of violent crime and trauma. At the same time, they are driven by friendships, banter, and the slow, sometimes painful work of building trust. Readers who enjoy procedural shows with a psychological slant will find a similar blend of crime solving and character study here.
