Hunter Gray goes by many names. She's an entertainer with countless aliases, performing whatever, whenever, and wherever, just to get by on her own. But when a killer begins targeting performers at the very venues Hunter frequents, she finds herself sucked under the spotlight of the Naturals--a sardonic, teenage team of FBI upstarts intent on cracking the case. As the curtain rapidly begins to fall on the life Hunter thought she knew, she must quickly adapt to a newfound world of gods, monsters, friends, and 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴. · · ─ ·✶· ─ · · michael townsend x femoc started: 6/25/25 completed: tbd · · ─ ·✶· ─ · · 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙤𝙙𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙞 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙡

ineffable, (a.) too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words. IN WHICH vada hartley doesn't just remember-she feels. every wound, every whisper, every trace of the past buried in the things people leave behind. it's a gift. or a curse. depending on the day. sent to join the FBI's off-the-books naturals program, vada finds herself surrounded by other teens trained to see what others can't. but while the others analyze from a distance, vada sinks into the emotional weight of every case. and it's getting harder to come back up. michael townsend understands that kind of heaviness-the need to take on hurt before it has the chance to break anyone else. he recognizes something in vada that he doesn't have words for. he's not sure he wants to. dean redding sees it too. her softness. her strength. the way her pain mirrors his own in all the worst ways. the three of them are caught in something raw and unspoken, but there's no time to untangle it-not when the past is clawing its way back into the present. and vada can feel it coming. vada has an emotive memory: the instinctive ability to absorb, retain, and relive the emotional states of others tied to specific memories or environments. im simpler terms: vada doesn't just remember events-she remembers how it felt for everyone involved. she experiences emotional energy attached to people, places, and moments. sometimes it's a gift. sometimes it's too much. *lowercase intended* *BOOK 1*

ameliorate (v.) to make a bad situation, better. book TWO in the "ineffable" series. (based on the book series, the naturals by jennifer lynn barnes) IN WHICH vada hartley is still learning how to live with everything she feels- the memories that don't belong to her, the boys who might, trying to make sense of what's hers and what's not- the memories she feels, the grief she carries, the love she might be allowed to want. the team is called to vegas for a high-profile case wrapped in secrets and patterns. the case asking too much of her mind, and even more of her heart. michael is warm, constant, and kind in a way that feels safe. dean is distant but impossible not to notice-especially when he looks at her like he's trying not to. and vada doesn't know what it means to choose, only that someone might end up hurt. as the stakes rise and the clues start to come together, vada is left trying to make sense of everything-what she knows, what she wants, and who she is without someone else's memory pressing into her skin.

𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 (adj). impossible to erase or forget third and FINAL book in the "ineffable" series, following the plot of bad blood by jennifer lynn barnes. when vada hartley joined the fbi's naturals program, she wasn't chasing glory-she was chasing grief. her father's murder. her best friend's disappearance. a childhood haunted by memories that weren't just hers-they were felt. seen. carved into her. but now, everything vada thought she knew about that night has been shattered. everything she thought she knew about her life was cracking. the cult that took everything from her is still alive. and they've been watching her far longer than she ever realized. as the naturals dig into a secret group known only as the nine, vada starts piecing together a terrifying truth: this isn't just about her father's killer. it's about her mother, her family. it's about a legacy written into her blood-one she was never supposed to survive. the deeper they go, the closer the danger gets. bodies are showing up. lines are being crossed. and vada is starting to wonder if she's the one being hunted. this isn't just another case. this is personal. and some things don't fade. some things leave indelible marks.
