Description
In a city where the powerful can't kill-and the powerless are hunted, Gabriel Lanes is a contradiction.
Fresh out of jail after serving seven years for murder, all Gabriel wants is to go home, reunite with his family, and leave the past behind. But when a serial killer begins terrorizing the city, his own sister starts calling him "a psycho," and his stalker-known only as R-begins to step up their sick game, Gabriel realizes escape is no longer an option.
With buried secrets surfacing faster than he can outrun them, one question haunts him-and everyone else: Is Gabriel a reformed victim... or something far more dangerous?

- Nicole_leeRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The plot is intriguing and interesting! There have been too many OP (overpowered) characters that are actually hard to relate to and kind of boring. A struggling, at-the-bottom main character makes me look forward to seeing his development and growth. Keep up the good work, author! I'm excited to see where the story goes next!

This story presents a fascinating and unique take on societal evolution and the consequences of power dynamics. The world-building is rich and thought-provoking, exploring themes of prejudice, fear, and redemption. Gabriel's character is compelling, and his struggle to find acceptance and peace in a world that views him with suspicion adds depth to the narrative.
The plot is promising, with a blend of action, drama, and emotional conflict that keeps readers engaged. The tension between 'the dominants' and 'the recessives' is well-crafted, highlighting the complexities of a divided society. The story raises important questions about morality, justice, and the human condition.
One of the standout aspects of this story is its ability to weave complex social issues into an engaging narrative. The author skillfully portrays the isolation and discrimination faced by 'the recessives,' making readers empathize with their plight. Gabriel's journey from a juvenile detention center to becoming an executioner, and his subsequent quest for a new life, is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
The interactions between characters are well-developed, adding layers to the story. The Lanes family dynamic, with Gabriel being the only 'recessive,' creates an interesting contrast and adds to the emotional depth. The societal divide and the stigma attached to 'the recessives' are depicted with nuance, making the reader reflect on real-world parallels.
Overall, 'Rewind' is a captivating read that offers a fresh perspective on the dystopian genre. The author's ability to blend speculative fiction with deep social commentary makes this story stand out. I look forward to seeing how Gabriel's journey unfolds and how he navigates the challenges ahead. This story is a must-read for fans of dystopian fiction and those who enjoy thought-provoking narratives.
