Alex Winters of The State Journal-Register praised the series and said, "If you enjoy suspenseful crime thrillers and whodunnits with a dash of teen melodrama, then this is the book series for you. Together they work together as a team on cold cases and off-limit active cases that happen to connect to members of the team. Cassie meets other teenagers with similar abilities when she joins a special FBI program meant to use their skills to solve murders. It was such a captivating book that the story has stayed with me for over a year unfinished, I had to know how it ended.

Noticing these similarities, Cassie tries to convince Briggs to let her work on the case, but he threatens to remove her from the program. Bad Blood, Cassie discovers that Lorelai was forced to join a cult against her will and became the Pythia. 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. Some parts are suspenseful and creepy, but there's a lot of information that pops up out of the blue, leaving readers wondering if they missed something.

When Cassie confronts Dean about hiding this information, he angrily reveals that he feels like a dangerous psychopath himself and tells her to leave him alone. Well I got up to finding out it must be someone in the house and scared my self silly so had to stop reading! As the Naturals get to know each other, Cassie learns about the on-off romantic relationship between Michael and Lia, and the brotherly-sisterly relationship between Lia and Dean. She started writing in her early years and finished her first book (which was never published) when she was in high school. It is the first novel in the Naturals series, which follows Cassie, a teenager with a natural talent for profiling people based on a careful study of their behavior.

At one point, Cassie wonders if the FBI even knows the "Naturals" program exists, except for the two agents who recruited her. Her talent has landed her a spot in an elite FBI program for teens with innate crime-solving abilities, and into some harrowing situations.

When Cassie Hobbes joined the FBI’s Naturals program, she had one goal: uncover the truth about her mother’s murder.
