Killer Instinct (The Naturals, #2)

by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

“Tell me you didn’t go to Colonial.” “We didn’t go to Colonial,” Lia replied without missing a beat. Dean stared at her for a few seconds, then turned to me. Clearly, I was easier prey. “You went to a college campus knowing that a murder had just been committed there, wearing two-fifths of a dress and looking for people who might be connected to the killer?” “If it’s any consolation,” Michael told Dean, “I went along for the ride.” Dean went very still. For a second, I thought he might actually hit Michael. “Why in the world would that be a consolation?” “Because,” Michael replied, a glint in his eyes, “if I hadn’t been there, Cassie would have gone off alone with a college senior who has an unhealthy fascination with your dad’s case.” “Michael!” I said. “Cassie!” Dean turned a thunderous look on me. I threw Lia under the bus. “At least I didn’t actually go off by myself with two strange guys in Fogle’s class.” Dean turned back to Lia. “I have no idea what she’s talking about.” Lia’s innocent act was as good as they came. Dean threw his hands up in the air. “Do you all have a death wish?” he asked.
