Since then, Cassie, fellow profiler Dean, emotion‑reader Michael, lie‑detector Lia, and statistical genius Sloane have caught serial killers, outsmarted masterminds, and saved countless lives. Now, eight months after the most twisted, traumatizing case of their lives and still dealing with the psychological fall-out, the Naturals decide to take on a joyful mission for once: playing matchmaker. With Christmas fast approaching, how hard could it be for an emotion‑reader, a deception detector, two profilers, and a statistician armed with a wealth of data on romantic relationships to secure a happily ever after for two people who are already very obviously in love? Turns out...very. Because to bring their FBI mentors back together, the Naturals will first have to solve the mystery of why Special Agent Veronica Sterling can''t let herself have the very thing she wants the most. Profiling a profiler is tricky business, and it soon becomes clear that to solve this mystery, the Naturals need to uncover the past. Add in a puzzling series of interconnected crime scenes, an UNSUB with a fondness for snow, and a cold case on the verge of heating up, and it''s shaping up to be a killer Christmas.

Three casinos. Three bodies. Three days. Crack the case with the Naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games. After a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas, Cassie Hobbes and the Naturals are called in to investigate. But even with the team''s unique profiling talents, these murders seem baffling: unlike many serial killers, this one uses different methods every time. All of the victims were killed in public, yet the killer does not show up on any security feed. And each victim has a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist. 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!

«Un Criminal Minds per le giovani generazioni.» Ally Carter, autrice bestseller del New York Times «Barnes scopre ogni carta al momento giusto, sorprendendo i lettori con un finale inaspettato. Un libro che ti tiene sveglio fino a notte fonda pur di finirlo.» Publishers Weekly «Una serie adrenalinica e imprevedibile.» Booklist «Un thriller brillante, che cattura i lettori fin dalle prime pagine.» Kirkus Reviews NESSUN SEGRETO RESTA SEPOLTO PER SEMPRE Da quando era bambina, Cassie Hobbs è sempre stata brava a leggere le persone. Fin troppo. Le bastano pochi gesti, uno sguardo per capirne anche i desideri più profondi. Una qualità cui non ha mai dato troppo peso, finché non si presenta alla sua porta un agente dell’FBI incaricato di reclutare ragazzi come lei, talenti naturali che andranno a formare una squadra speciale con il compito di risolvere vecchi casi di omicidio. Avendo provato sulla sua pelle il dolore di rimanere senza risposte, Cassie accetta e, in un attimo, la sua vita cambia per sempre. Il programma Naturals, infatti, prevede che lei si trasferisca a vivere con altri ragazzi, ognuno con il proprio talento speciale. Alcuni di loro condividono un genio simile per il profiling, come Dean, enigmatico e sfuggente; altri hanno abilità ancora più sorprendenti, come Michael, rampollo viziato capace di leggere le emozioni altrui e di approfittarne. A poco a poco, Cassie si rende conto però che nessuno lì dentro è chi dice di essere. E, quando un serial killer inizierà a terrorizzare la città, non ci sarà più tempo per i segreti. Uno di loro sta giocando con il fuoco, e Cassie sarà costretta a usare ogni arma a sua disposizione, se non vuole rischiare di bruciarsi.

Ny bok i samma värld som Arvspelen Välkommen till Det största spelet – en årlig tävling skapad av miljardären Avery Grambs och de ökända Hawthornebröderna, vars enorma förmögenhet Avery en gång oväntat ärvde. Tävlingen är öppen för alla, men vägen dit är svår: bara sju gyllene biljetter ger tillträde. Vinsten? Berömmelse, rikedom och makt. Med miljoner i potten är årets deltagare redo att gå hur långt som helst för att ta hem segern. Vissa är främst ute efter pengarna, andra makten. Och vissa har helt andra, mer personliga motiv. I centrum står Grayson Hawthorne – arvtagare, strateg och nyckelfigur i det spel där ingenting är vad det verkar. När tävlingens utmaningar tänjer gränserna för vad kroppen, hjärnan och hjärtat tål, blir det tydligt: alla följer inte reglerna. I översättning av Ylva Stålmarck. JENNIFER LYNN BARNES är en bästsäljande amerikansk författare. Hennes Arvspelen-serie [The Inheritance Games] har blivit en enorm succé och sålt i över 5 miljoner exemplar världen över och hyllats för sin smarta intrig, oväntade vändningar och karismatiska karaktärer. Arvspelen kommer nu också att bli TV-serie på Amazon, producerad av Sony Pictures TV. Det största spelet tar vid där Arvspelen-serien slutade.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Inheritance Games series, meet the Squad—pretty, popular, and extremely dangerous. These cheerleaders are actually spies. When sophomore computer hacker and karate black belt Toby Klein moves to Bayport, cheer is the last thing on her to-do list. But after a mysterious note urges her to audition for the school’s squad, she realizes that behind those pom-poms is a dangerous secret. The Squad is the government’s secret weapon—elite spies hidden in plain sight. And they need Toby. There’s a classified information leak in Bayport, and Toby has the skills to retrieve critical intel from the only person who has it—the most popular boy at school. But evil lurks in Bayport, and Toby’s recent glow-up has put a spotlight on her . . . which might just get her killed.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Inheritance Games series comes the explosive finale of The Squad duology. 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.

Read Hannah’s side of the story, then flip the book over to experience their love anew through Toby’s eyes in this unforgettable novel that you can read backward or forward. Hannah Rooney knows how to be invisible. At twenty, she keeps her head down and her eyes open, and so far, she’s managed to avoid being pulled into the dealings of her notorious criminal family. Hannah lives her life in countdown mode, biding her time in nursing school as she waits for her beloved sister, Kaylie, to turn eighteen so Hannah can get them both far, far away from Rockaway Watch and start a new life. Tobias Hawthorne II acts every inch the entitled heir that he is. As the only son of one of the country''s richest men, there isn''t a door that isn''t open to him. Yet behind his razor sharp cheekbones and devil-may-care attitude, Toby is guarding a nest of deadly secrets and a fiery anger fierce enough to burn everything in his path. Their lives collide in one tragic, stormy night, where an act of arson and nature leave Kaylie and two others dead and Toby just barely alive—with no memory of who he is. The fisherman who pulls him from the ocean enlists Hannah to help save the very person who she knows took away her sister. Fueled by her hatred, Hannah is determined to deny Toby''s death wish by keeping him alive. He is the last person that she should ever develop feelings for, and she is the first thing he ever remembers seeing.

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.
