FlumeAward – The Naturals
FlumeAward – The Naturals The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I liked this book. Fans of any of the CSI franchise shows or any similar show, I believe would like this, too. A twist on the same old, same old as these characters all have some type of paranormal ability that the FBI can use to solve cold cases. And the ending had a real spin, too!

This was pretty good. I think the mystery was fairly well-set up, though it might have been nice to have some other probable suspects – it would have kept the twist "twisty" but not SO out of left field (though when I thought back, the author did a good job of setting up the breadcrumbs). Grisly! But a fun read, especially for fans of thrillers in general. Girl protagonist, but would appeal to boys too. I’d recommend for final list, as an entry firmly rooted in mystery/suspense genre – Liz, Merrimack PL
I would also recommend this for the final list! I don’t often read mysteries, but this one hooked me fast. The obligatory cliche love triangle, which has ruined books for me before, wasn’t even enough to force me to put this one down, and I appreciated the twist at the end. It would be a great addition to the list based on its genre alone, but it’s also a great book. -Danny Lykansion, Rodgers Memorial Library
A graphic thriller that is the first in a series, I like that although there are some supernatural elements in the story, the book is really a murder/mystery which is something we don’t get a lot of on the Flume list. I Hunt Killers by Lyga is hugely popular here, and this book will appeal to those readers and more.
