Book Review: The Evolution of Fae and Gods (Chronicles of the Stone Veil, book #3) by Sawyer Bennett

The Evolution of Fae and Gods (Chronicles of the Stone Veil, book #3)
by Sawyer Bennett
March 23, 2021
269 pages
Evil is coming.

A dark malevolence the likes of which this world has never seen, and it comes straight from the depths of Hell. Darkness meant to destroy. A prophecy I am fated to fulfill but will most likely not survive.

Through it all, Carrick Byrne has stood strong by my side. Something has deeply changed between me and the man I once despised, and all it took was a kiss of provocation for both of us to feel it. I know deep in my soul we’re being guided by destiny, but I don’t know if I can trust it. Carrick is holding something back, and I fear the consequences could be deadly once his truth is revealed.

We’re not ready, but calamity waits for no woman. I have discovered a power within myself I must learn to master. A new connection in the Underworld has been revealed to me, one that I hope is friend but is just as likely foe. We are in a race against time as we try to figure out how to stop the end of the world from occurring. The battle is coming, and I can only hope we’re prepared for what happens next.

The Evolution of Fae and Gods is book three of the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and is best enjoyed if read in series order.

Finley has accepted that her fate is tied to the darkness trying to take over the world, and with Carrick helping her, she has hope that her fate isn’t set in stone. The relationship between Finley and Carrick has begun changing. And even though she used to despise him, she is falling deeper and deeper for him. If destiny is real and can be trusted, Finley knows that it is guiding her on this journey.

Finley and Carrick's passion has been ramping up slowly and is ready to have sparks fly. The connection between the two is so deep that it seems like their souls are connected somehow. The side relationship of Myles and Rainey has also been a pleasant surprise in this well-written series.

It’s time to meet my destiny.

Kymaris has everything she needs to bring down the veil between Earth and the Underworld. If she’s successful in completing the ritual, Earth will be darkened by evil. Demons will swarm our lands and the human race will be decimated.

It’s up to me to stop her.

My fate is to thwart the prophecy, but I’m not sure what to do. While I may have some gifts, I am still merely a human facing the queen of the Dark Fae who holds unimaginable power.

But I have something she doesn’t. Something she could never comprehend.

I have love.

Deep, abiding love which gives me the strength and courage to face down evil. Family, friends, and unexpected allies, who will stand shoulder to shoulder with me against this enemy. Should I fail, they are prepared to go down with me, but only after we have given our all.

My sacrifice may destroy everything I am. Fate may require my demise. But if that happens, I will leave this realm without regret, knowing that I have loved and been loved in return.

The Rise of Fortune and Fury is book five of the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and is best enjoyed if read in series order.

New Release: A Battle of Blood and Stone (Chronicles of the Stone Veil Book 4) by Sawyer Bennett

REVIEW COMING SOON!

A Battle of Blood and Stone (Chronicles of the Stone Veil Book 4)
by Sawyer Bennett
April 13, 2021
239 pages
Another day, another step closer to Hell on Earth being unleashed.

With every piece that falls into place for the queen of the Underworld, Kymaris gains strength and power that will make it more difficult to defeat her when the time comes. It feels as if we’re in a desperate race to get just one step ahead of her, but my demise feels closer than it ever has before with still so much to do.

The first order of business is to unlock the angelic powers with which I was gifted at birth, and Carrick insists on getting help from my archnemesis to do so. Yes, I have to save the world, but my priority has now become rescuing my sister from the Underworld. While there are many questions still to be answered about my long-lost twin, I know I will not win this battle without her by my side.

In the midst of all the doom and gloom, Carrick has become my beacon of shining light. Our connection unimaginable, my heart recognizes his as the other half of its whole. Inexplicable and deeper than one could ever imagine, the love I hold for him is forged by destiny, however ill-fated it may turn out to be.

And those are the feelings I must hold close…to keep me going. Because a painful lesson is on the horizon—betrayal never comes from your enemies.

A Battle of Blood and Stone is book four of the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and is best enjoyed if read in series order.

Book Review: A Discovery of Secrets and Fate (Chronicles of the Stone Veil, book #2) by Sawyer Bennett

A Discovery of Secrets and Fate (Chronicles of the Stone Veil, book #2)
by Sawyer Bennett
March 2, 2021
250 pages
Life as I knew it ended the day I accepted my fate.

In its place is an existence even the wildest imagination could never fathom. Strange creatures walk among us, plotting our demise, and I've come to find that the fate of our world rests squarely on my shoulders. We're all in danger and I'm trying to figure out how to make it through each day.

The key to my survival is a man I can't figure out. As dangerous as the darkest fae, I have no choice but to work with him to stop the prophecy that's foretold to be the ruination of mankind.

Carrick Byrne continues to be my only source of information, but he doles it out as he sees fit. He intrigues and scares me in equal measure, yet I can't help but be attracted to him. And the more I discover about him, the more it becomes clear he feels the same.

As we travel to Faere in search of answers, we find that every piece of information leads to more questions, that every question leads to a new piece of the puzzle, and that, most importantly, no one can be trusted.

The more secrets we uncover, one thing is certain-- if we have any chance of saving the world, we have to do it together.

A Discovery of Secrets and Fate is book two of the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and is best enjoyed if read in series order.
Add it to Goodreads
Finley has had her whole life turned upside down by Carrick and fate and all she wants to do is run away and go back to her simple life of running One Bean, her coffee shop but fate has other plans for her. There are so many questions that Finley wants and needs answers to but Carrick is her only source of information and he is less than forthcoming with who and what he knows. She finds him infuriating yet alluring at the same time against her better judgement. 

Finley needs to save the world, but she is just one person and the blows keep coming. She is unsure of herself as well as those around her, but she finds an inner strength when push comes to shove. She is one of those characters that can and will beat the odds if given the chance and doesn’t necessarily need a man around to help her do it. 

The Stone Veil series is one of mystery and intrigue that will keep you wanting more. My only criticism is that Bennett sometimes writes with some big words when a more simple, well known word would have the same impact.

I always knew I was different.

From a young age, my mind has been plagued with things only I could see. Some hauntingly beautiful, others completely terrifying. Never knowing if these visions were real or just hallucinations, I learned how to lock them down and ignore them. I learned to take solace in the relative anonymity of city life and find peace in the rainy days my city of Seattle is known for.

But just when I think my life is getting on track and my dreams are achievable, a moment of weakness causes me to learn a hard and fast lesson.

My entire existence has been a lie.

Now I’m faced with a new reality that’s as implausible as it is fantastical. Filled with realms and veils, light and dark, fae and daemons, gods and angels—things I don’t understand but am forced to acknowledge. It doesn’t help that the man teaching me about my unique gifts is the gorgeously handsome Carrick Byrne, one of Seattle’s richest and most powerful men. He intimidates, annoys, and intrigues me all at the same time. I don’t trust him and yet there’s no one else to help me.

No longer certain who to put my faith in, what to believe, or how I fit into it all, one revelation is clear…

The world as I know it will never be the same again. The Revelation of Light and Dark is book one of the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and is best enjoyed if read in series order.

Finley has always been plagued with mental health issues. Since she was young, she could see things she found out others couldn’t see. Some of these creatures were beautiful while others were downright scary. She stopped sharing her visions with others and learned how to ignore them so she could lead a somewhat normal life.

The one thing that Finley loves about her life in Seattle is One Bean, the coffee shop she manages. When an opportunity presents itself to Finley to move up at One Bean, she goes in search of a way to finance this dream. What she finds is that life as she knows it will be changed forever and she’s not entirely sure she can handle the changes that are coming her way.

I had trouble getting into the book at first. I was impatient for the mysteries that the synopsis hinted at and the patience was well worth it. The book was expertly written and the story line once you got into the thick of it was intriguing and kept you trying to figure out who, what, when, where, etc. There were some areas that big words were used that a more common and easily understood word would have done but this book was an excellent read and I’m ready for the next book in this series.
