Great story narration needs work

The story captured my attention. It was quite intriguing. However, the fact that the narrator changes the Mandarin accent into a Russian accent is distracting.

Intriguing

Deven Greene tells a Medical Thriller story in Unnatural. I haven't listened to anything from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. I did read the print version of the story, and enjoyed it, but I also really enjoyed this audiobook. The characters were realistic and very complex. This author brings the stories to life, and more so with the audio narration. This definitely was an intriguing story that not only brought in the complex science of DNA and DNA mutation, but also Chinese culture and the intensity of trying to cover up and rid of the "mutation." It's such a unique story and I really, really enjoyed it. The story brings in the believable, even if almost impossible (or maybe not impossible or improbable). This book deserves a second listen! (and maybe more). The thrills and intrigue is clear and the characterizations are engrossing. It's a magnificent story with twists and different plot lines to follow and try to figure out what will happen next. Unnatural on audiobook is a definite listening recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to listening to many more titles by this author. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who listens to this book, to also write a review.

Diabolical

I fed into every single premise, and was quickly pulled into the storyline. What a twisted tale and totally believable!!! Loved it. On to the next book in this series. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Medical drama

From a slow paced story, it changes to thrilling and dangerous mission to rescue and safely return a baby, while keeping everyone alive
Good narration

Great story

This book really held my attention. I enjoyed the storyline and the narrator was very entertaining! Would definitely recommend this book.
