Description
To the Unnatural mind, what appears natural, is your unnatural. So how can you be sure, which is which? Leo is a young teenager tormented by the roaming voices of others.
Despite the attempts of therapy, the voices still remain, creeping in the corners of his mind. But he is not the only one cursed with a gift, across the ocean a young girl discovers that she shares her body with a monstrous beast.
As they slowly learn to control these new powers, it isn't long before they find others like them and their worlds begin to change forever.
As the sick and twisted horrors that endlessly pursue them begin to catch up with their innocent lives, it is only a matter of time before they uncover the full extent of their new-found abilities.

This was a well-written and well-edited book. Kudos to the author!
I love SF&F and this is up there with some of the best authors.
The cliffhanger was annoying - but only because I wanted to read more!
Definitely recommend

This is the perfect horror/sci-fi/fantasy multi-genre!
I really enjoyed this book and it gave me X-Men/Avenger vibes. I really felt like the author had immersed me into a comic book and I was totally here for it!
Personally, I think this would make a brilliant tv show and did remind me of Heroes at times. Especially through the different POVs.
The only negative would be that there were quite a few characters, which I feel prevented me from being able to connect to anyone in particular. The beginning is definitely a slow burner- but if you push through the first 100 pages or so you will not be disappointed!

Unnatural
[Blurb Goes Here]
Unnatural, not unlike the Heroes TV series, is the story of various individuals that unexpectedly find they have unnatural powers, while one can lift things and even himself with his mind, another can transform into a deadly creature. Unknown to most, the individuals are being hunted by a Japanese business man, the CEO of a large corporation. He wants to help those individuals and teach them how to control their new found powers. Or that much he says.
The story is fast paced and character driven. The characters are going through changes and you can see how they evolve.
I wasn't to kin on the ending though, it's a cliff hanger giving us a glimpse into the next installment, one that will be all too familiar for fans of the Heroes TV series. Still I recommend this read, It was fun and at times a bit scary.
Thank you for the advanced copy!

Great book. I was pleased to meet young teenagers all around the world with new strange powers and how they are trying to learn to leave with it.I enjoyed all the characters but I did not like all the swearing, it would have been great without, in my opinion.
