If you can’t remember what happened in The Naturals and you need a refresher, then you’re in the right place. in short Cassie is described as better at feeling empathy than the other Naturals . As a Profiler, she can't help but try and figure people out. Overall she appears to be a caring person and wants to do the right thing in situations that are dire and even those that will make others happy. Cassie can be insecure and almost awkward at times due to having been surrounded by adults for a large portion of her life and not having a lot of social interaction with kids that have mastered controlling all of their feelings. After finishing high school in 2002, she enrolled at Yale University from which in 2006 she graduated with a degree in cognitive sciences. When she first went to the university, she had no idea what she would want to focus on, so she took a whole bunch of interesting-looking courses in her first year. Seventeen-year-old Cassie Hobbes has a gift for profiling people. Her talent has landed her a spot in an elite FBI program for teens with innate crime-solving abilities, and in... The initial book was followed by Killer Instinct, published in 2014. The third book, All In, came out in 2015, and the fourth and final book, Bad Blood, was published in 2016. A novella, titled Twelve, was published in 2017.But when victims of a brutal new serial killer start turning up, the Naturals are pulled into an active case that strikes too close to home: the killer is a perfect copycat of Dean’s incarcerated father — a man he’d do anything to forget. Forced deeper into a murderer’s psyche than ever before, will the Naturals be able to outsmart the enigmatic killer’s brutal mind games before this copycat twists them into his web for good? Families can talk about crime stories in books and on TV. Is it important for them to accurately reflect real police work? Crime dramas on TV, for example, often show crime-scene technicians wearing high heels to a crime scene. How does The Naturals compare with these kinds of TV shows? The author has several series written to date, all with young adult readers in mind (this doesn’t imply that adults can’t read them – I do and I’m far from a young teen reader), some more paranormal in nature than others. She also has a few standalone novels which are well worth reading. The Naturals presents a serial killer's point of view. The killer is creepy and talks about killing and torture. Characters are stabbed, shot, seriously hurt, and killed. Violence toward victims and serial-killer behavior are discussed and taught in the the "Naturals" program. In this high-adrenaline series opener...even a psychic won't anticipate all the twists and turns." - Booklist
