Book Blurb:

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.  

5 Stars!

Review by Trinette Dungee

Initially thought to be myth, the Blood Stone is very much real. The mission now? Find the Blood Stone. 

Book four hits the ground running and doesn’t stop until the end, and even then, leaves us wanting more. It’s been two weeks since the God Rune, snatched Carrick away from Finley. Learning that she is Carrick’s reincarnated love who is continuously snatched from his lifetime after time over centuries due to a curse Rune placed upon him has her reeling, and there was no chance for her to ask questions before Carrick was taken.  Although she’s worried for and misses Carrick terribly, the prophecy will still occur, and there’s still much work to be done so Finley continues to team with Maddox, Zaid, Rainey and Myles to learn all they can about Kymaris’ plans. The “Scooby-Gang”, has also been working with Zaid’s father, Boral (who everyone is skeptical of, but he could prove to be very helpful). 


Once Carrick returns, he gives Finley the background on her former lives and what happened between the two of them. Finley and Carrick aren’t the only two who has developments in relationships. With Carrick missing, Finley and Zaid’s relationship also grows, and we see a different side of Zaid as well. I’ve like Zaid from the beginning, but this book really gave my heart a soft spot for him. His commitment and dedication to Finley was no longer due to his loyalty to Carrick. Finley has become family to him. 


As the time grows closer for Kymaris’ ritual to take place, Carrick realizes they really need to kick into high gear to make sure Finley is as prepared as she can be. While she’s been training tirelessly, she still needs more, so Carrick enlists the one person no one expects, Deandra who proves to be more helpful than Finley thought.


There’s also Finley’s determination to connect with her sister, Zora, in the underground which she does manage to do again, but Zora is very resistant to Finley and wants nothing to do with her.


We also get a glimpse of Lucien’s past which is directly related to the Blood Stone needed to help defeat Kymaris. The group obtains the Blood Stone at a costly price, and then goes to drastic measures to slow Kymaris down which means they must all separate and basically go into hiding to stay safe. While in hiding, Finley learns that while her team has formed unlikely alliances, so has Kymaris. Unfortunately for Finley, she learns of this alliance a little too late and can only hope that Carrick can come to her rescue. 


With each book, this story truly gets better and better, and leads to more and more questions. I’m curious about Finley’s past lives, was she a twin in each life? If not, was it intentional that she was a twin in this life? So many other backgrounds were given, does this mean there might be novellas or spin off series? Especially for Lucien. Will Ronan and Eilana show up in the fourth book? Will there be more to their story? What more will we learn about Zora; will she have a story of her own? 


I’m almost sad the last book is coming up because I don’t want it to end. I mentioned before about previous books not focusing so much on the relationship of Carrick and Finley and how it didn’t bother me, but I’m so glad it finally came to light. The evolution and the buildup of Finley and Carrick’s love is beautifully told and written.
