For now, my space to breathe is inside. In that little pocket deep deep within my chest or heart or something – the bit they can’t touch.''

Kliatba duší 1: Naše zradné duše
Katrina Smytheová má osemnásť rokov, je v poslednom ročníku na strednej škole a už rok je nemŕtva. Konečne sa zbavila všetkých otravných pocitov ako bolesť, žiarlivosť či vzrušenie. Namiesto toho získala silu a oveľa lepšie zapadá do svojej nezvyčajnej rodiny plnej upírov, čarodejníc a vlkolakov.
Všetko sa zmení, keď pri ich dverách zazvoní chlapec od susedov Tate Walker. Nielenže je nehorázne pekný, ale patrí do rodiny lovcov, ktorí sú úhlavní nepriatelia všetkých nadprirodzených bytostí. Katrina je pripravená urobiť s týmto otravným človekom krátky proces, no potom sa stane čosi nevídané: Walkerovci požiadajú Smytheovcov o pomoc. Katrina a Tate sa zblížia viac, než by si ktorýkoľvek z nich prial, keď sa po neúspešnej kliatbe duší od seba nemôžu vzdialiť na viac než pár metrov. Hrozivejšie to už ani nemôže byť! No vtom začne Katrinio zradné mŕtve srdce opäť jemne biť.

whether justice is worth pursuing, and if this kingdom is worth saving at all.

Seventeen-year-old Cassie is a natural at reading people, piecing together the tiniest details to know who a person is, and what they want. But it's not a skill she takes seriously until the FBI come knocking - they've begun a classified program that uses exceptional teens to crack infamous cold cases, and they want her to join.
What Cassie doesn't realize is that there's more at risk than a few unsolved homicides. Sent to live with a group of teens whose gifts are as unusual as her own, she quickly realizes no one in the Naturals program is what they seem. Emotion-reader Michael is a wild card - and far too perceptive for Cassie's good. The resident deception-detector is a pathological liar, and the program's perky, blonde statistician is far better with numbers than with people. And then there's Dean - a profiler like Cassie but with a much darker gift.
When a new killer strikes, danger looms close. Caught in a lethal game of cat and mouse with a killer, the Naturals are going to have to use all of their gifts just to survive.
Perfect for fans of Criminal Minds and Holly Jackson, Jennifer Lynn Barnes delivers a suspense-ridden psychological thriller with killer appeal, a love triangle to die for, and a gorgeous new design that will stand out on any shelf.
