I didn't read this cover to cover, but I love her writing style, attitude, and designs. I should put this in my Amazon cart and buy it, but I have too much going on right now. I love this book and am eager to make some Christmas gift bags using her designs. Wonderful illustrations, photos, directions!

The Naturals
by Jennifer Barnes
Hennepin County Library audiobook 6 discs
read by Amber Faith
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).
