5 STAR Readers Favourite Review – Reviewed by Jennifer Ibiam

The Stone of Life by Scott Newman is a riveting tale of survival. This book features magic, romance, sorcery, and more. I felt the characters gave off the Justice League vibe, with Superman, Batman, Flash, and the team warring against Steppenwolf and his cronies. So if you want a paranormal story that will make you hold your breath, read this novel. The plot, development, and storyline were brilliant and had depth. I loved many characters, from Michael to Alex, Tomison, Keira, and Julia. The Stone of Life was captivating, fast-paced, and action-packed. It was also unpredictable so I didn’t know what would happen the next minute. The tension was high, but Berrock helped with humor. I couldn’t stop laughing at his reaction to having an emergency wife. Scott is a talented writer, and I can’t wait to read the next installment of this series.
