Warning Signs - The Naturals

NATURALS X THE INHERITENCE GAMES CROSSOVER; GILDED BLADE AU. BOOK ONE IN THE WARNING SIGNS DUOLOGY

Sometimes the past is more painful then serial killers and torture...

Autumn Hawthorne, the youngest-and the forgotten-Hawthorne sibling, was disowned by Skye at the age of twelve. The reason? The world assumed it was because she wore sweatpants and a graphic tee to a gala and was an overall "nuisance who ruined the family reputation." The media was told that she was too much.

In reality, she had learned a long time ago that her grandfather was not a good man. He ruined lives. That charity gala was an excuse to draw attention to herself, so she could bring the empire Tobias built crumbling down. She gathered evidence, ready to ruin his life, knowing she'd ruin her own, too.

She did not succeed.

At thirteen, the Naturals, an elite FBI group of teens with extraordinary abilities used to find murderers, took her in and she has spent her previous five years solving cases and saving lives. And now? Now the second annual Grandest Games just ended. Now the Hawthorne Heiress, Avery Kylie Grambs, is missing. And now the Hawthornes seek FBI help, not realizing that the sister that they once left behind now holds the heiress's fate in her hands.

But when Autumn and the Naturals take the case, what happens when somebody else gets hurt?

As time goes on, Autumn learns secrets and lies and nobody knows what is real and what isn't.
