We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.
Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
The Naturals are BACK! #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Lynn Barnes delivers the highly anticipated new installment in her beloved Naturals series.
Cassie Hobbes joined the FBI’s Naturals program at seventeen because she had an incredible ability to read people. 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 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.
Candyce send me a wonderful message the other week; one of our favorite series is getting a new installment! I adored the Naturals series, it was a YA Criminal Minds kind of story and as a fan of that TV show I loved reading the series. The characters in this series are amazing and I’m so excited we are getting another book. It’s going to be released in November, so I have to wait a little bit longer but since I never expected another book it doesn’t even matter haha.
Sloane was my favorite character and I hope she will still be after this book. I remember most of the main storylines, but I think it will be nice to reread the books before the release and have everything refreshed. The one thing I’m worried about is that this seems like it has a focus on romance more than I would like. And it takes place only 8 months after the previous book, a book that I read almost 10 years ago. Will I still enjoy the story and this characters if they haven’t aged with me? I can’t wait to find out though!
