After a case brings Agent Briggs to Cape Vincent, New York, he discovers a seventeen-year-old with a keen ability to manipulate people.
Elizabeth is brought into the Naturals program with no birth certificate, no school records, and no life beyond surviving the trailer park she grew up in. Overnight, she's thrown into a world that feels completely foreign. Living with an emotion reader, profilers, a human lie detector, and a statistician, all while being told she has to earn the education she never had before she's allowed to prove herself.
Elizabeth has spent her entire life relying on one person. Herself. In a house full of people who can see through lies, read emotions, and uncover secrets for a living, manipulation may no longer be enough to keep her in control.
As dangerous cases begin pulling the Naturals back into active investigations, Elizabeth struggles to adapt to a life with rules, stability, and people who seem to care whether she lives or dies.

Don't forget me~ The Naturals
Myo has spent years running from a name the world forgot. One half of the most famous missing twins in America. One of them escaped. One of them didn't. When she's recruited into a classified FBI program that trains teenagers with natural instincts for profiling killers, she doesn't expect to end up face-to-face with the ghosts she's spent years burying. Then a cold case lands on their desks. Her case. Every file. Every photograph. Every lie. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to keep her secrets buried. Because somewhere out there, he's still watching. Still waiting. And he's always loved her best.

MISSING LINK》t. briggs & v. stirling
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. *update schedule is between me and God
