Dangerous Impulses by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (Pre-order Nov. 3, 2026)

The thrilling return to the bestselling The Naturals series, where FBI-trained teen profilers face a chilling new mystery filled with cold cases, holiday suspense, and fan-favorite characters.

The Naturals are back—and their most unexpected case yet could be their most personal.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Lynn Barnes comes Dangerous Impulses, the highly anticipated new installment in the beloved The Naturals series, which has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide.

Eight months after surviving the most traumatic investigation of their lives, Cassie Hobbes, Dean Redding, Michael Townsend, Lia Zhang, and Sloane Tremain are still recovering from the psychological scars left behind. Instead of hunting serial killers, they're hoping for something much simpler this holiday season: playing matchmaker.

Their mission? Help their FBI mentors finally admit they're in love.

It should be easy for a team made up of elite profilers, an emotion reader, a human lie detector, and a statistical genius.

It isn't.

As the Naturals dig deeper into Special Agent Veronica Sterling's past, what begins as a holiday romance mission quickly transforms into a dangerous investigation involving long-buried secrets, interconnected crime scenes, a mysterious UNSUB with an unsettling fascination for snow, and a decades-old cold case that refuses to stay frozen.

With Christmas approaching and the danger escalating, the team must rely on their extraordinary profiling skills once again before another victim falls.

Packed with brilliant psychological puzzles, sharp banter, heart-pounding suspense, and the unforgettable found-family dynamic fans love, Dangerous Impulses is an addictive YA thriller that delivers mystery, romance, and nonstop twists.
