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.**For more thrilling mysteries by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, check out Little White Lies, Deadly Little Scandals, and The Inheritance Games series!

"Shorter than I expected, but enjoyable. I do wish it a bit longer and I do wish all of the naturals were together opposed to spread out. I also wish there was more about the new underage naturals and the recruitment process. But the case was sweet, despite short. Was nice to get a glimpse as to where everyone is several years later "
"Dracula meets War and Peace.<br/>Aleksei, an elite Russian officer fighting Bonaparte's invasion, finds himself working with a curious groups of 12 mercenaries, the Oprichniki. Fierce fighters who wreak havoc upon the French, their methods soon make Aleksei uneasy: they sleep by day and fight by night, they mysteriously dispose of enemy bodies, and they never let their allies observe them at work. And why do chilling rumors of plague and death seem to follow them? The astute reader will figure out the Oprichinki's secret long before Aleksei does, yet this is a well-told blend of historical novel and supernatural horror, with well drawn characters and a good feel for the period."
"Actual- 3.5"
