She stood and watched as her parents were murdered in front of her. As her childhood home was burnt to a crisp. Twelve years later, she's looking for revenge. When Amaraya contacts the most powerful man in Virginia, she will set off the trigger that has been inlaid into her life. She will start to become something she does not recognize. 

But to find the man that killed her parents, Amaraya is ready to do anything. Work with a ruthless serial killer? Check. Perhaps, recruit an arsonist with high moral standards and an awfully strong British accent? Check. Maybe go breaking hundreds of laws with an FBI mole? Check. Trust a man that can wipe her off the face of the Earth with the snap of a finger? 

Let her think for a second. Oh yes. Check. 

Now let's review the options. Amaraya wants revenge. The Broker is ready to give it to her. When she walks into the darkness, she won't come back. And Amaraya knows it. She's got nothing left to lose. Not one bloody thing. 

It's time to find the man that murdered her parents. About damn time, already.

But I was unprepared for the lethal weapon that was Amara Ruby Milano and I gravely underestimated her. Nothing could stop me from taking my revenge on those who wronged me, even if the person standing in my way was her. Nobody warned me about her dirty little games and I never expected to fall into her trap.

"Normal blood is a very specific color. This isn't it. This is wrong. There's something in it. Like it was poisoned or something." Felicity paused, the words dying in her throat, her heart pounding. Poisoned-like Scarlett Hawkins. No. She couldn't think about that. Not now. Felicity Elizabeth Briggs isn't normal. Not that being the daughter of two renowned FBI agents was ever "normal" but ever since that frightful day in the lab six years ago when her Aunt Scarlett Hawkins was brutally murdered right in front of her, Felicity has been extra abnormal. She doesn't know why she can see the things that she does, but she isn't alone. After a string of serial murders that occur in her very own boarding school, the FBI arrive on the scene and Felicity is once again reunited with her parents who she hasn't seen in years. Not only that, but since the last time she saw them, they've met and looked over kids her age who are just as abnormal as she is. When a new case involving a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas requires her parents and the other Naturals' help, Felicity agrees to join them and along the way uncovers old secrets from her Aunt's unsolved murder from all those years ago. *updates roughly once a month
