This one was really interesting because I really wasn’t sure what to expect! The premise of The Naturals is that the FBI has a group of teens that are “naturals” at certain things. (To be honest, this part confused me a tad because I was like, are these abilities supernatural? Answer: no, they aren’t.) Cassie, our MC, is a natural profiler. She gets recruited and meets a cast of other teens who also have abilities such as a natural liar, natural with […]

The Sound: I thought the narrator Phoebe Strole was fantastic. I feel like all the emotion was transferred so well into Emmy’s voice! I loved listening to this one. The Story: This story is so interesting because the situation is just so.. well, messed up. Emmy and Oliver were best friends as kids and next door neighbors — until Oliver’s dad kidnapped him and everyone’s lives changed. Now, ten years later, he’s back. Everyone wants him to hate his dad […]

But the thing is, he knows it and doesn’t try to make excuses for it. Also, in this one we get to see more of him and his […]

My Thoughts: I’ve always really enjoyed plots that involve celebs and Hollywood and this story was great! Ally is your normal teen girl except her best friend, Vanessa, is an actress and now new star of a teen show! Ally and Van couldn’t be more different but through it all they’ve been there for each other and best friends. I loved seeing how supportive they are of each other! Anyway, Ally and her family are struggling financially due to her father’s […]

Why Did I Read? Well, I love boy bands. ADORE THEM. And this series sounds like a fictional equivalent of One Direction!! (I loove them!) My Thoughts: So this one started off great for me! My little boy band fangirl heart was just so excited and happy. Aimee has had a crush on Miles for forever but after she heard he didn’t like his best friend’s little sister following them around, she gave up on that crush. Now, she’s forced to […]
