genre: YA murder mystery fiction
This is like Criminal Minds with teenagers. The premise is that the FBI has a small group of "naturals" - two profilers, one who can "read" emotions, one who can analyze evidence like a computer, and one who is a natural lie detector. When Cassandra (Cassie) Hobbes joins the other teenagers, she is taken aback by her inability to hide what she is thinking and feeling. In the five years since her mother's disappearance, she has perfected the art of being "fine."
Leah - liar, sneak, gorgeous chameleon, very protective of Dean, on and off relationship with Michael
Sloan - human computer, petite, Cassie's roommate
Dean - father was a serial killer, he's the other profiler, initially wants to have nothing to do with Cassie
Michael - gorgeous, rich, can read emotions but is effective at hiding his true self
Love interests, murder cases, danger lurking around every corner. I don't want to even hint at the heart of the story because to ruin the ending would defeat the purpose of reading the book! Cassie was too much of a wimp for me, but it was a compelling story (enough that I'll read book two if/when it comes out).

The ending was a total surprise! I did NOT see it coming!
Do you mean the identity of the killer? I was surprised, too. It seemed that the author was setting up one scenario . . . and then something else came out. The safe house scene was intense!
