About this book
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.

The Revelation Of Light and Dark (Chronicles Of The Stone Veil book 1) by Sawyer Bennett. Narrated by Lucy Rivers and Auden Snow. I love author Sawyer Bennett. I first found her with her Arizona Vengeance series, then I started listening to all her other books as well and I always enjoy her work just as I enjoyed this one. I liked the concept of this book and the story as well. It grabbed me from the start and I kept listening all the way through. I loved the narration, The narrators really...

I always enjoy a good fae book. This one was a good start to the series but it had a bit of world building that often felt slow. That said, I'm still here for it. This fantasy series is blended with a mystery. We don't know a great deal about who the two main characters really are and I suspect the discovery of that at some point in the series will prove interesting for sure. I believe a good deal of this book was setup for the series and since the book ended with one heck of a wow moment type...

Wow; a completely different genre from Sawyer Bennett, and it was fantastic!!! Finley is a 27-year-old Manager of a little coffee shop in Seattle (“One Bean”), who’s life is her job, which she totally loves. She doesn’t have hardly any family, as her mom passed away during childbirth & her dad committed suicide. She does have a fraternal twin sister, Fallon, whom she loves, but they’re total, polar opposites and not very close. Fallon went to college, owns an exclusive art gallery, has a...

This was a tough one to rate... It took me a little to really get into this story and to really connect with the characters, though some I connected to more than others. I liked the idea of the demons and fae, and the mystery of why Finley, a human, is able to see them when she shouldn't be able to. I wasn't sure what to think of Finley's sister Fallon and their relationship, and especially Fallon's fiancé who doesn't seem to make an effort with Finley. Jury is still kinda out on Carrick... he...

I have been anxiously awaiting this series and I wasn't disappointed. The Revelation of Light and Dark sets up this series nicely. We currently have more questions than answers but it's an exciting unfolding of mystery. Finley Porter is 27 and was born and raised in Seattle. Finley has struggled all of her life with mental health issues dealing with hallucinations and was hospitalized as a result. Now faced with the knowledge that she does t have mental health issues that she in fact does see...
