The plot sounds unique and thrilling with a suspenseful storyline. I’d like to find out what happened after Kurt took the stone and how it’s related to the murder.

Though I am too old for stories, I found the sample interesting, especially the three teenagers amazed by the strange stone and the idea of keeping teenagers in the nature,without phones. The review emphasizes the well- drawn characters and complex plot, which makes the novel worth reading.

The author's imagination seems to be on a wild spree in this fictional work. Clearly, the review omitted what happened between the good and the evil at the climax of the plot. Further driving the reader's curiosity. Very professional review.

Good vs Evil is a theme that we should think about as the year is coming to an end.

Thank you for the great review.

The stone might be doing something to Kurt, changing him in some sort of way. No wonder it chose him. Sci-fi thrillers are just the best. Congrats on the book of the day

I’m not too sure about faith, but friendship and family values should stand young adults in good stead. To that extent I can see why they would be the desired audience for this book. I’m usually scared of good versus evil stories that involve religion because they tend to over-simplify reality.Judging by your review this one seems to be an exception.

The cover and title seem to relate the stone to Gabriel, the angel who announced the conception of Jesus by the Holy Spirit. I wonder why Kurt was handpicked to keep it.

Kurt, Alan, and Torence have been friends since kindergarten. They went on a camping trip with their fathers and found a stone only Kurt could touch. What do Kurt and stone have to do with the murder? Congratulations on BOTD!

As I am not part of the target audience, I would not pick this book up, but I believe that it will be a great read for teenagers.

I really enjoy a good sci fi novel so this one sounds promising. I don't think I'll be too old for it, it sounds diversified and well developed.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy novel following a boy who stumbles upon a mysterious rock and a police detective on the hunt for a murderer. When the boy witnesses the suspect and informs the detective, they must work together to catch the murderer. It might be worth a second look. Well done.
