Very likable plot which features good vs evil.I also like the the themes and values that are highlighting family values and kindness. I am curious of the connection between Detective Bailey and Kurt and also the stone. Great read! I will definitely will read this soon.Congrats BOTD!

The storyline is interesting but I am too old to enjoy these kind of fantasy/adventure story. Thanks for the review!

It sounds like the author has blended the sci-fi and fantasy genres very expertly with the crime/thriller/mystery genres in this novel. And, I'm interested to know why only Kurt can hold the mysterious stone and not others.
Thanks for this thorough and fantastic review.

Can evil be defeated really? The story is a reflection of our world today where evil keeps increasing. Nice review.

This book is totally wicked! A lot of readers would love it, it has that thrill, that information, that fantastic imagination, and that mystery everyone would love in one book. Thank you so much for your review!

Using a special stone as the basis for this story is quite interesting. I enjoy the fact that the religious undertone is not right in the reader's face as well. Thanks for the review!

The premise certainly sounds up my alley, even if it’s more geared towards young adults due to the thirteen-year-old protagonist. This review makes both protagonists (Kurt and the detective) seem a little flat at first, but the Amazon description indicates more layers to them, so I think I’ll give this book a try when I have the time. I do like urban science fantasy and thrillers (depending on the subject). Thank you for the helpful review.

This book has got some mysteries, that's my very intake about the STONES, I'm so curiously interested to read this book.

Oh! This book sounds like just the type of thing I am into! I like how the story seems to include themes that are hot-topic issues right now (the microchip and biblical prophecy). So, I am adding this book to my "Want to Read" shelf...
