Killer Instinct is the second book in The Naturals series which focuses around gifted kids. All these gifts are a little paranormal, but then also not – making it even more exciting! And as much as I loved the first book, I think I loved Killer Instinct even more!
10 Reasons why Killer Instinct and The Naturals just rock!
- Love love love the idea about these “naturally gifted talents”. It’s hard to describe what Jennifer Lynn created her and its a mixture of advanced psychology and paranormal! In any case, it’s just creatively unique!!
- Cassie – brave smart and caring main character, who sit just a wonderful main character
- Scary Killers on the loose! A few weeks ago I had a post about Serial Killers in YA and I’m always thrilled reading about them in YA. It#s much better for my nerves than hard core Adult, but still scary and creepy enough!
- Interesting Boarding School-like Setting. These gifted kids are all living together and training with the FBI. but they are not really part of the FBI so they are living in a house with a Guardinan and their parents couldn’t care less about them.
- Twits and Turns, and surprisingly shocking moments! I love when a story surprises me and this one did!
- Dean – Swoon… DEAN – brooding bad boy! Period.. *nuff said*
- Ok one more time Dean because he’s on of my favourite characters among the kids. He#s the stereotypical YA Boy I like to read about, but he’s really really was having a horrible childhood! His Dad was a freaking serial killer and wanted Dean to be like him! Poor Boy! But then, he’s still sweet and caring and loyal!
- Killer Dady gives me the creeps! We heard a little about Deans Killer Daddy Issues in the first book, but not much, so I liked that this sequel now focuses on Dean’s Dead!
- Mind Games – What are good Serial Killers without good (…) mind games
- THERE will be a SEQUEL! Yet each book is a closed story or better a case..
Bewitched Rating
Bottom Line
Killer Instinct by Jennifer Lynn Barnes was a fantastic thrilling and exciting sequel to The Naturals. With twits turns, friendship loyalty and lots of brave (gifted) kids! Easily made it on the top list of my favorite series!
So you like these kind of books that deal with a mixture of psychological and paranormal gifts? How about serial killers?

I have The Natural’s in my Kindle library but I still haven’t read it, to my shame, cause now the sequel is out!! I better get onto that soon!
Very happy to hear the sequel didn’t suffer the infamous “second book syndrome” and that the books don’t have horribly cliffhangers!
