Kudos to the author for a great storyline. I love fantasy novels a lot and can't wait to find out more about Kurt and detective Bailey's adventure. Will they be able to overcome the forces of evil or not? And how is the stone a part of all this drama? I look forward to reading the whole book to understand all this. Thank you for this great review.

I’m sure all of the bizarre images, lifelong bonds, and mystical stones would make this a sci-if thriller worth remembering! Thank you for your engaging and informative review.

Stone of Gabriel: Angel Stones Book One by Gary A. Pattillo. A very interesting story book. Kurt, Torence, and Alan being friends all these while. Kurt having being the only person that can handle the stone among his friends.

An interesting book talks about family values and friendship. Congrats on BOTD.

Sounds kinda complex and with well thought-though plot, interesting situation and a mystery to solve. Almost a shame that Sci-Fi/Fantasy is not my genre, but I will recommend the book to my kid that adores it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and congrats with BOTD!

i am posting a second reply since it looks like the first one did not post. This is the first book in a sci-fi series that pits good vs. evil. The Stone of Gabriel is a stone that three teen boys found and only Kurt was able to hold it without it hurting or burning his hands. The main characters are Kurt and Detective Bailey who became life-long friends with Kurt. The official review mentioned that the ending of the book is disappointing but since there are more books in the series, I am optimistic things work out for the best. I intend to read this book and probably the series as the books are released. Very good review.

The novel for teenagers and young adults is about Kurt & detective Steve who faces a serial murder case. The story is described as interesting even though there is tension in it. I want to read this book. The review made me interested in reading.

This sci-fi fantasy book seems to have a richly complex storyline and interesting characters! I am intrigued by the stone that only Kurt can pick up and how he is connected to the detective. Thanks for the great review!

This sounds like the kind of story that engages the reader from the opening pages and continues to do so till the very end. I really like the crime detective aspect of it with a supernatural slant. Sounds very appealing - thanks!

'Official Review: Stone of Gabriel' by Gary A. Pattillo is a good commentary on the science thriller story of a young boy and a police detective! The presentation of the suspense story in the review is great! The point that the author has written a fantasy thriller with a focus on good versus evil is worth mentioning in the review! Also, the point that he has highlighted essential attributes such as faith, loyalty, friendship, and family values, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers! Nice to learn that the book has well-developed and likable characters, a unique storyline, and a fantasy ending!
