Start your review of The Evolution of Fae and Gods (Chronicles of the Stone Veil, #3)

I’ve been feeling “angsticipation” ever since I finished the third installment of the Chronicles of Stone Veil. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series because I know in my bookish bones that it’s epic and it’ll go straight to my favorites list.
As with the previous book, The Evolution of Fae and Gods picks up right where the previous book left off. Evil is not only after Finley, it’s goal is to rule the world. Forcing Finley, Carrick and the rest of their motley crew into a deadly r ...more

In The Evolution of Fae and Gods, we along with Finley learn more about her powers and what we have seen up to this point was just the tip of the iceberg. The chemistry that has been building up between Finley and Carrick is getting deeper and hotter. I don't want to give anything away so just know that there is a LOT going on in this action packed read.

Review by Trinette Dungee
At the end of Book 3 (Secrets and Fate), Finely is facing death from what was once her twin sister Fallon. This book opens with Carrick coming to Finley’s rescue, and in this book, relationship for the two takes a new direction.
So, this is going to have to be short and sweet, because I feel like if I could ruin some of the discoveries for other readers. During this book, the connection between Finley and Carrick grows stronger, and it answers a lot of my questions as we ...more

Finally, I know what happened after the scene that made me scream ‘NO, NO, NO’ for a while and I think the third time was a charm and I didn’t get too crazy when I came face to face with the cliffhanger :) I read the last scene and hoping to read what was next, then BOOM! It was the end, which took me a couple of seconds to realize by the way. I was like ‘No, this can’t be it, went back again to make sure I wasn’t skipping anything :) Thank you Ms. Bennett for making me act like a crazed person

The Evolution of Fae and Gods by Sawyer Bennett
Chronicles of the Veil #3
If you have not read books one and two of this series, I highly recommend you do so now before opening book three. This is definitely a series that must be read in order to be fully appreciated. In this book more information is gleaned, Carrick and Finley move their relationship up to the next level, and a whole lot happens that furthers the story and moves the characters toward what Fate has in store for them.

Spellbinding, captivating, romantic
The deeper I get into this series, the harder I find it to put down the books. THE EVOLUTION OF FAE AND GODS was such a captivating instalment. Even though the prophecy is a major part of the storyline, Ms Bennett has delved deeper into the relationship between Finley and Carrick.
"I've gone and fallen for the big, immortal jerk ... and while he says we could never work out, I know he cares for m, too."

4.5 stars--THE EVOLUTION OF FAE AND GODS is the third instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult CHRONICLES OF THE STONE VEIL paranormal/urban fantasy series focusing on twenty-eight year old Finley Porter, and Carrick Byrne. THE EVOLUTION OF FAE AND GODS should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two A DISCOVERY OF SECRETS AND FATES.

Book 3 is already starting with a bang. Literally. Fire, glass shattering. yup. BANG!
I am OBSESSED with The Evolution of Fae and Gods. It’s everything I wanted from book 1 and book 2 (Even though these two were still really good books). More drama, more action and adventure. More ANSWERS! More EVERYTHING!
Speaking of ‘chemistry’, I feel like book 1 and book 2 was all about ‘’the angst’’.I was bursting with anticipation..I was dying because I could feel the AMAZING sizzling attraction between ...more

This is the third book, and you have to read the previous books to understand what's happening.
Book three starts where book two left off. You are still wondering how much of the prophecy is going to be revealed in this book. I was not disappointed in how this book unfolded.
Carrick opens up much more to Finley about who he is, how he has lived his lif ...more

*** ARC kindly provided for an honest review. ***

Throughout this journey of discovery, search for meaning and fighting against evil forces, Finley would learn that this prophecy was beyond anything she could have imagined.
The story takes shape and all the things we read in the previous books are gaining importance. Of course everything is not revealed and the author managed to add more mystery to one already settled but giving small and subtle clues. I liked it a lot.

I'll tell you this... this book gave me so much of what I've been wanting since I started this series, such as:
⭐ Answers — although some of them led me to more questions
⭐ Moving Plot — obviously I ain't spoiling but so much happened, some of which I predicted, which led to those answers I needed and the new questions I now have
⭐ Romance — WOOHOO!! It happened and I couldn't have been more thrilled. What was brewing between Carrick and Finley in the first two books finally boiled over and it ...more

The Evolution of Fae and Gods (Chronicles of the Stone Veil Book 3) this series is getting better and better. The intimacy between Finley and Carrick is undeniable. The ending just left you wanting the next book. You want answers, you want to see how it plays out and fits together. Can not wait for book 4.
“I’ll wait for you to come back to me. I’ll take whatever I can get for eternity, even the pain of losing you.”

The Evolution of Fae and Gods is Book 3 in the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series. This book picks up immediately after the “OMG” ending of Book 2, A Discovery of Secrets and Fate.
Let me start by saying you simply CANNOT love and/or enjoy this series unless it’s read in order. Now; Book 3. We learn more about Finley, the Prophecy, and we find out a lot more about Carrick too. There are a few new characters introduced in this book that only add more depth to the story. Happily (for me anyway), ...more

Rating: 4.5 Stars
Carrick is a strong man who looks like he can take on anything. Finley can always rely on him to be there. Fallon continues to appear. Don’t know who she is? She’s your reminder to start at the beginning of the series. Titus is another reminder.
This is a true series because each book builds on what came before and leaves you wanting more. It’s an adventure that keeps on giving. There are mysteries around every corner. Finley’s family plays into everything that’s going on – ano ...more

Each installment of this series is difficult to review on its own since it’s not an individual story. Rather, it’s the next set of chapters in one epic tale, worthy of a mini-series or feature film. Sawyer Bennett has created a world that is so rich and clear, making them utterly fantastic believable. I feel transported to a realm where prophecies are real, demons walk amongst us, and the gods interfere with our fate.

If you are a fan of fantasy or paranormal romances this series is for you.

Oh. My. God!!!! This series is so freakin' good!!! I'm so in love with the whole premise, the characters, and the ever-unfolding storyline.
"One thing that I felt with certainty was that every time we came together, I'd feel something different snapping into place...or settling might be the better way to describe it."
Seriously, people, if you love fantasy, this author is so talented in bringing such a vividly engrossing story to life. I feel massively invested in Finley, Carrick and the rest of t ...more

Like a piece of art, this series is taking shape and the artwork is starting to shine through. This third book in the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series is jammed packed with action, information, passion and emotion. We have arrived at the tipping point in the series where we really gain momentum, this book in particular, was very hard to put down!
Right from the start it was fast paced and it never really slowed down. Not only do we gain more information on Finlay's prophecy, but as Finlay and ...more

This is book 3 in the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and it absolutely must be read in order as these books build upon each other. This one picks up right where the previous book left off and starts us with a different perspective of the ending of the previous book. In this one, we get more of Carrick's point of view and how he thinks about things. Which I loved as he has always been slightly mysterious to me. I loved actually understanding what his goals are and the things he has been thro

The Evolution of Fae and Gods is the third book in the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series. This is a series of FIVE books and must be read in order!
Here's the gist of the series:
Finley is a human, destined to fight against a deadly prophecy to save the world. Unfortunately, she has to fight against a savage dark Fae who is ten times stronger than her. But she's not alone. She's teamed up with the enigmatic and wealthy, Carrick. He's not exactly human but that will be a big help to Finley.

The Evolution of Fae and Gods is the third book in the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series by Sawyer Bennett. It's not a stand-alone novel and the books must be read in order. As expected the book ends with a cliffhanger and unlike the one from the previous book, this one actually made me want to read the next book ASAP.

The evolution of Fae and Gods is the third book in the epic Chronicles of the Stone Veil series by Sawyer Bennett. I don’t tend to read a lot of paranormal romances, yet this series offers non-stop thrills and a suspenseful read which keeps me guessing.
