Hidden in the numbers is a code--and the closer the Naturals come to unraveling the mystery, the more perilous the case becomes. Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an equally dangerous and much more painful mystery. For the first time in years, there''s been a break in her mother''s case. As personal issues and tensions between the team mount, Cassie and the Naturals will be faced with impossible odds--and impossible choices. **Catch every thrilling twist and turn of The Naturals series in The Naturals, Killer Instinct, All In, Bad Blood, and the enovella, Twelve!

After barely escaping a confrontation with an unbalanced killer obsessed with her mother''s murder, Cassie hopes she and the rest of the team can stick to solving cold cases from a distance. 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.

These cheerleader spies are ready to take on a new evil in Bayport—if Homecoming doesn’t destroy them first. Saying Toby Klein is an unlikely cheerleader is the understatement of the year. But the varsity squad at Bayport High aren’t your average cheerleaders. They’re elite government operatives with the ultimate cover. And rumor has it that something’s about to go down in Bayport. The Big Guys Upstairs know the Squad is their best shot at getting the information they need, but it looks like this mission is even more dangerous than the last. And if the spy business doesn’t kill Toby, then Brooke, the team captain, might. The nominations are in for homecoming court, and Toby’s the surprise front-runner for queen. Tensions are high in the Squad—and Toby’s budding feelings for the most popular and infuriatingly handsome guy in school aren’t helping, either. Terrorist threat? Mission gone wrong? Disastrous homecoming court? Bring it on.

Bryn has the usual worries: a new boyfriend, a new school and a new home. But she has one major concern that her friends don''t have: she is an alpha - a human girl in charge of her own werewolf pack. When Bryn and her closest friends, Dev and Lake, broke from the werewolf Callum''s pack, it had felt right. Together with Chase, Bryn''s new love, they had rescued some newly made female werewolves from a dangerous master and established their own pack, with Bryn as leader. Yet Bryn has always resented the rules of this life - the constant bowing to authority and submission to the alpha. And she is determined to live differently, to be better leader. Then one night, a badly beaten werewolf shows up on her territory. He desperately needs help. But taking him in could violate the rules, and no one knows better than Bryn the costs of challenging them. Obedience is law in pack life, but is Bryn ready to break the rules again? Read more of Bryn''s story in Taken by Storm.

Still human, she must take her place in the werewolf Senate, the shadowy democracy that rules the packs. Standing side by side with ancient werewolves is enough of a challenge, especially when they are called on to deal with a problem that involves memories she would rather forget . . . With bodies stacking up and pressure closing in from all sides, Bryn and her pack are forced to turn to old enemies and friends for help. Especially when it starts to look like this time, the monster might be one of their own.

Logo fica nítido que ninguém no programa é quem parece ser. E quando um novo assassino em série surge, o perigo está mais perto do que nunca.
