A Diamond in My Pocket by Lorena Angell Book Summary

**UPDATE** June 28th, 2014. I'm so grateful to my readers who've talked up and shared my book with their freinds! The influx of excitement over this series sure has kept me on my toes. The Unaltered Series is now an International Bestselling series and I couldn't be more thrilled. A new manuscript was uploaded 6/28/2014 with minor changes to punctuation and grammar to make for the best possible enjoyment for my readers.

A Diamond In My Pocket is an appealing mix of fantasy, science fiction, paranormal, urban, creatures, magic, and drama that appeals to all ages.

Sixteen-year-old Calli Courtnae surprisingly breaks the 100-meter world record at a high school track meet and is whisked off to Montana to train for Olympic tryouts. Upon arriving, however, she finds something totally unexpected. Her fellow athletes are secretive, mysterious, paranoid, uncommonly beautiful--and endowed with the same gift of superhuman speed she now exhibits. The truth, she learns, is she's the latest person to develop a rare DNA alteration, giving her unnatural speed. The facility will provide her safety while she adjusts to her new world, one that includes delivering packages for high profile clients.

When three fellow Runners are kidnapped by a clan of terrorist Healers, Calli is assigned to the team that must deliver a rare magical diamond in exchange for the hostages. She is just beginning to accept her new world when it's turned upside-down by a mysterious woman who privately gives Calli the real diamond, while the team leader is given a decoy. Almost immediately the magical diamond in Calli's pocket unleashes a startling range of supernatural powers and mind-reading abilities within her. Calli discovers a traitor in their midst and sees the tragic future of her companions. She also learns one of the boys ridiculously views her as his soul-mate because of a vision he'd been shown. While she knows her powers derive from the secret diamond in her possession, her companions do not, and Calli dreads the fast-approaching day when they will discover the truth--the day she hands the diamond over to the terrorists and parts with her powers.

Readers who enjoy teen fantasy, paranormal, science fiction, and action and fantasy adventure will like A Diamond in My Pocket, book one in The Unaltered Series. Many readers say the romance in the book is similar to Divergent by Veronica Roth. The fast-pace and action feels like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and readers especially respond well to the underdog rising up and succeeding, as in Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling.

What readers are saying:
"The last time I remember reading a book this suspenseful is when I read The Hunger Games series a couple years ago." - JohnstonLife (Amazon)

"I am a high school English teacher and am always looking for books to recommend to my students. This book goes to the top of the list!" - Robynne Leighe (Amazon)

"Lorena Angell has the formula for young adults and oldsters like me." Gary R. Casebeer "Montessorian, Retired"

"Great story, similar to the Percy Jackson series only with a female lead." -Amazon Customer

"I was swept away on a journey of mysteries and powers and young love. I feel the books are ageless even if it focuses on teenagers." - L. Fuqua (Amazon)

"I felt like it was a cross between Hunger Games & some Harry Potter. I have been recommending it to all the teens I coach & to some open minded adults. I couldn't put it down, the twists & turns keep you turning the pages. I loved the fantasy world it took me to, & how the real world blended." - Beth (Amazon)

A Diamond In My Pocket. A Diamond in my pocket is an amazing book. With unexpected love, “sitting on the edge of your seat” action, and many exciting cliffhangers, this book is a recipe for an all time favorite. I caught myself reading this book all night and only stopped when i realized it was morning. once you start reading this action filled novel you will not be able to put it down. Best book i have ever read!

Great easy read. I loved this book, loved the sequel, and can't wait for the third book to come out. Quick, easy, lighthearted read that keeps you interested from start to finish. The characters are fun and relatable and the plot keeps you interested.

Mediocre. I like the idea of this book, and the plot (though predictable) was pretty good. I do, however, have some issues. I read a lot of books and this one isn’t particularly memorable. One of my major issues is that the characters have no personality. Maybe some stereotypes, yes, but personalities? No. Again, the plot was really predictable and I often found myself bored. Never the less, it was good for a free book.

Interesting. It is very interesting and keeps you turning the pages and wanting more. Very well written.

Good story line and well-edited, but.... The writing is stilted and undeveloped. This writer has a good imagination and with work, will hone her craft to be an excellent writer.

A great read!!. This is a great book. A great series!!! I was pulled in right from the beginning!! Definately one of my new favorites, so glad I gave it a chance and you will be too once you start reading it! Stayed up all night reading, could not put it down!!!

AWESOME!. Perfect book and very well written!

Awesome!!. I really,really enjoyed this book! It was interesting,well written, and had great characters. I would love to read a sequel!

Needs a proper editor!. I've edited my own work better and I am nowhere near ready to be published! There were so many verb tense inconsistencies I couldn't get through the first chapter! the exposition is literally spelled out by the narrator, the most un creative way to give background info as a writer. The character is boring and stereotypical in the 'I don't care what others think of me, I'd rather learn' but you know by the end she will end up with a guy that should be out of her league. don't bother even with it being free if you are a serious reader.

Love This Series!!. I love this book. I just couldn't stop reading it until it was finished then I was mad because there was no more to read can't wate for the next one to come out.

New edited version 2/15/2013. iBookstore listed my book as a Breakout Book on 2/5/2013 while I was having it edited for grammatical, punctuation and sentence structure. The new edition is now live. I hope you enjoy it! -Also, a BIG thank you to my fans who loved the book even though it was in less than perfect condition!

Great page turner. I really enjoyed this book.

😍. This book is amazing :)

Great. This book is absolutely great and hope to read many more!

Loved it!. I wish there was a sequel to this book. The characters were detailed and the plot was unique. Definitely will be reading more books from this author!

WOW!. All I can say about this book is wow! This book is amazing and keeps you reading until the end. This is a book you will not waste your money on

Awesome. I thoroughly reading this book. It was entertaining and kept you wanting to know more. I highly recommend it !

It started of well. But then it seem a bit rushed. I didn’t like the fact that she was so disliked and then everyone started to adore her the second her abilities came in. Chris is lame and tbh I was hoping something would kindle between Callie and Justin.

Hate reading but loved!!!. I HATE to read but I decided to try a book anyway and I could not put my iPod down when I started reading this book. I'd stay up until 2am reading. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! At the end I wished there were more pages. A sequel would make things perfect!(:

It was Good. I think the story line could me more dramatic and have a little bit more irony in it.But except for that, I think it was pretty good.

AMAZING. As a fifteen year old girl i say that this book was totally AMAZING AND ONE OF MY BEST :D, I couldn't stop reading. I absolutely loved it. All this book needs is a sequel and I'm willing to buy coz I know it will not be a waste of my money ;)

A diamond in my pocket. I enjoyed this book very much. So excited to start next book in this series. Thanks Book Bub....

nice. there’s no other book like it!

Needs . . .. A SEQUEL!

Amazing Read!. This book is amazingly written and the best part it is a really good FREE book! I love the romance between Chris and Calli it is well written chemistry and the hateful roommate to her best friend on the compound is a really sweet story. I love how Calli grows during her experiences it kind of gives a life lesson too. She learns a lot and it ends with a beautiful ending.

Excellent. I won't say this is Harry Potter quality, but it is close. Great plot and characters that capture the interest and imagination. I will definitely order the next one.

GREAT. I love this book.I would stay up till 2 am reading. I really wish there was a sequel :) I recommend it to everybody.

In love!!!. This book has to be by far one of the best that I've read!!! I couldn't put it down!! I am so excited for the next installment!!!

Very good book.. This is probably going to be a book that I will read more than once. The main character displays good moral character. The plot is deep and intense. There is no sexual content (that I can remember). The language is clean I recommend this book for anyone 11 and up.

Thoroughly engaging. Well written, Thoroughly engaging fantasy which held my attention from page one.

AMAZING!!!!. i stayed up all night(literaly)i started to read chapter5[where i left off]at 9:50pm and finished the book at 8:59am {i was up all night} i just wish there was a sequal • for the love of christ make a sequal• that book is awsome!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing!. This book was by far my most favorite book! A mix of Sci-Fi and a twisted love. So excited for A Diamond in my Heart!!

A Diamond in My Pocket. Loved this book. I was completely off guard for this ending. Captivating, enthralling, mesmerizing. Hate to say the COVID did good, but it definitely let me read this great book. I look forward to complete the series. Thank you for your wonderful gift of writing.

Nonstop Read. Up all night reading these 2 books! Can't wait for book #3 :)

One of my fave series. I love this book! It is extremely well written and I couldn't put it down until I read the entire thing!

My favorite. This book caught my eye and I wanted to read this but I didn’t know if it was appropriate and it is not bad in anyway it is amazing and a really cool book

Love it!. very entertaining!

Diamond in my pocket. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the characters & the plot.

Love love love this book. I’ve been busy lately so my reading of this book has been somewhat random, but this book captivates me each and every time

Magical Dismond. I suppose in today's lazy world, it is better to sprinkle magic into a story to create logic and flow then to come up with a plot and force the mind to wander into the land of suspense and intrigue. This book would make a good tv series however !!

being responsible. Being responsible for ones actions.an the charectears actions in doing the right thing. Great book.

Awesome book. I love this book Lorena Angell. Your the best book author in the entire world I'm my opinion. I can't wait until I get A Diamond In My Heart. I was really sad on how the book ended in the worst spot when I was hoping that I would have more to read but I can't wait to get the entire series. I also know your a great author because you created a cliff hanger and I like that. Can't wait until the next books!😃

A Tightly Woven tapestry of unique world building. A fast paced, well written and delightfully refreshing fantasy YA novel. Well worth the read-couldn’t put it down.

My review. I really loved this book! I couldn't step away from it until I finished it :)

Wow!. Love the way she shows how you can be selfishly selfless and care for others. The book was a wonderful smooth read. Have recommended it to all my library and teaching friends. Definitely on my kids summer reading list.

The best book ever can I get a shout. The best book in the hole intier world

Diamonds. The book drops you into the story with a very slow intro to the characters. This I didn’t like but after the first chapter it all makes more sense. I enjoyed the story and will be reading more in the series.

A diamond in my pocket. A great read where good triumphs over evil. I cannot wait to read the next book.

A diamond in my pocket. This book was amazing!! I'm always looking for interesting fantasy books that feel realistic and have content not just romance. This book was perfect and I enjoyed every minute. I didn't want it to end and I'm definitely going to buy the rest of the books in this series. I would love it if they could come out in paperbacks too so I could read them like regular books. This book was a fiction lover's dream. 😊😊😊
