I love stories that are around creepy abandoned houses. Is the house haunted? What secrets do the old walls hold? The setting of New Haven is beautiful orchestrated and brings the reader onto the suffocating life a small town can bring. The setting brought the story to life in my reader’s mind and kept me turning the pages until the end! Thoroughly enjoyed this story!!!

I liked this book; however, it is the 4th book in a series BUT the first book in a trilogy and there were times where I was questioning the who, what, when, where, and how. That being said…I really enjoyed the premise of the book and the characters and even the plot (even though there were times I was lost and confused). Definitely read the other books in the series so you know what is going on and I’m not really sure how The Tall Dark Man is going to spin off into the trilogy but we’ll see. I did enjoy the author’s writing style…I just think that there was way too much happening in this book and that maybe it should have been split into at least 2 different novels. But if you’re looking for a supernatural, action packed book and have time to sit a focus on what’s happening (because you will need to be able to focus) then I recommend picking up this book.

David Kummer’s book The Misery House was hauntingly wonderful! This book had me guessing throughout the entire book, from one twist to another turn trying to figure everything out! I love the excellent characters that are developed so fully in this book, you never know what is going to happen to the Wood family next, but boy are you rooting for their safety. The abandoned house is downright eerie, it’ll have you checking all the rooms in your house at night to ensure nothing is going to jump out at you in the night! This story is very frightening and twisted, it’s my kind of story! I love that I had no idea what would happen next and that I was scared out of my mind. I cannot wait for the next book in this series, it is up there with some of my favorite thrillers for sure. If you like a good psychological thriller, this is a must-read that will have you on the edge of your seat, jumping at every little noise you hear. @Brandy Rymer 07/2023

This is the first book I’ve read by David Kummer. It is written in multiple POVs. Sometimes I don’t like that but it worked in this book. It helped build the suspense. It also shows the common fear of the creepy house on the hill. Every town has that one scary house that kids dare each other to go in. But what if there’s really something bad in there? This book leaves a killer cliffhanger and I can’t wait for book two!

Rise Of The Hunter Book 4 of The Blood Prophecy series Book 1 of The Tall Dark Man By: Barb Jones Review by: Susan Ratchford 4 Stars
I am a big big lover of the supernatural so I was immediately drawn to Rise of The Hunter, Barb Jones fourth installment in this intriguing and action packed series! Against my better judgment I started this book of The Blood Prophecy Series before the first three. Without the prior knowledge of the others this book was admittedly a little hard to follow. Especially since it also counts as the first book in its own trilogy as well, which is so unique! I will definitely have to reread it! Even so, Rise of the Hunter has beyond interesting characters and is entertaining from the first page to the last! It truly did keep me on the edge of my seat! That being said I would highly recommend starting with her first book Queens Destiny! I know I can’t wait to start Queens Destiny and join Ms. Jones on this fantastic supernatural journey from beginning to end!

Queen’s Destiny Blood Prophecy One By: Barb Jones Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
After reading the fourth book Rise Of The Hunter on a whim I knew I had to go back and start Barb Jones Blood Prophecy series from the start! I was surely not disappointed! I absolutely love this series! Ms. Jones’ writing is intriguing and smart. Her scenes are fast paced and entertaining with all of the supernatural aspects any fantasy lover could want! I absolutely love when a series can mix witches, werewolves, and vampires and Ms. Jones does it with paranormal expertise! The flashes back to the past also help elevate this story to such a cool level! I cannot wait to pick up Queen’s Enemy and continue this fun and unique series!

The Woods family have been members of the New Haven community forever, but when tragedies start occurring in their small town that point directly to them, will they be able to prove themselves to their neighbors?
Between a local store burning down with 2 bodies inside, and a newlywed couple going missing and their disappearance seeming to do with the haunted house on the hill, will the family be able to protect themselves and each other? Will they be able to continue to be members of the New Haven community? A small town like this can be both very loving and warm, as well as very secretive and cold – depending on their feelings about you. Which will it be for the Woods’?
This book heaps on the suspense drop by drop, leaving lots of little hints and clues that you discover to be just that later on. I couldn’t put it down, feeling constantly like I’d miss or forget an important clue hidden in its pages. This story is written from multiple POVS to fill in the timeline, which was an interesting way to approach it. It kept me riveted, jumping into books 2 and 3 ASAP!

I hadn’t read anything by this author before, and what a way to introduce themselves! The Misery House is definitely a psychological thriller you won’t want to put down. It twists and turns, making you change what you think the outcome will be (which you’ll never see coming anyway!) I love the flow, the characters, and the fact that it is told from multiple points of view. The only thing I didn’t like about this book was that there wasn’t more to read! But that just means I get to continue the adventure when the next book comes out, and you better believe I’m keeping an eye out for that one. I need to know what happens next!

Rise of the Hunter is the 4th book in the Blood Prophecy Series, and you cannot read this series out of order. There is so much back story and build up of the plot to keep track of. There are loads of characters in this story to love and love to hate. This story does not only continue with all the characters from the first three books but adds in so many more. This book is full of shocking twists that keep your head spinning. At the end of book 3 you thought they finally took care of the Tall Dark Man but he’s back. The book we find out how he survived being thrown in the pit and what his plans are to take vengeance on the queen and her people. This is a wonderful story, but you really must pay attention as the pieces of the prophecy come together, but it’s anything but predictable. Not only does this story jump from character to character but from lifetime to lifetime. Now I need to go back and read the Novella stories of the Queen and other leading characters.

The suspense and imagery in David Kummer’s The Misery House was as intense and satisfying as you can imagine this type of booking being. It left you with the tension and awareness of the layers he was creating as an author. The storyline was compelling and leaves the reader eager for the next chapter. If you like to read suspense and thriller novels, this novel is right up your alley. It portrays the creepy effect, the relatability factor, and the ‘this could happen to anyone’ factor which definitely makes for an enthralling book!

The Misery House is the first book in The House on the Hill series by David Duane Kummer. This book marks the start of a three-book series that promises lots of chills. This story had me intrigued from the moment I saw the cover and I didn’t have to know anything else before I snapped up a copy and dove right in to discover what happens. This has all the ingredients that I love to find in an engrossing story… -psychological thriller -peaceful small town -small-minded townsfolk -prejudices -a creepy old house -urban legends -fear -tension -horror -high stakes -investigation -sinister feel -intensity -mystery -suspense The only thing that I felt would have made this even better was I would have liked the story to have had a bit better flow, as it did seem to get bogged down at times which gave it a choppy feel. But this ends on a bit of a cliffhanger that will lead us into the next book- so I am intrigued to continue the story in Book #2. Happy Reading…

Amazing psychological thriller. Grabbed me right from the beginning and kept me turning pages and wanting more, I didn’t want to put it down. Great suspense and good plot twists to keep you guessing. Characters are very well written. Remember this is the book one in a series, so definitely a cliffhanger. I can’t wait for the next book.

Wow, David Kummer has made it on my favorite authors list for sure with this book. I can not wait to read the other books in the series! A psychological thriller full of suspense and twists. I could not tell what the secrets were until they were revealed. Just can not brag enough about this story and how well David told it.

Details. While this isn’t the first book I have read by the incredible Barb Jones, it is the first Blood Prophecy book I have read. With that being said, I didn’t feel lost while reading the story despite it being the fourth book in the series, it is the first book in a new trilogy, the Tall Dark Man. Told from several perspectives throughout the book jumps around between varies times in ancient history, and in some cases creation itself and the present day. The Tall Dark Man was long thought dead, but he is alive and is planning his revenge on the queen. Determined to keep the peace Queen Amber sets out on a new quest, to complete the task Michael was working on before his death. The Romani book chose her to continue the quest of finding all the missing pages, to succeed at stopping evil. Raven is given the task of finding the book while Arioch is given the task of finding Malakai and bringing him to their master. After being cursed by Raven, Malakai seeks help in hopes of being able to undo the curse without putting Amber in danger and returning to her side. Will the Tall Dark Man succeed in getting his vengeance? Can Amber find all of the pages and keep the evil from getting the fifth stone? The author’s ability to put so much history into her work while keeping you guessing how it’s all going to play out is incredible. While at first, I found the multiple perspective jumps not only between characters but time frames difficult to keep up with. It was truly fascinating to see how the relevance was seamless as it all built upon the prophecies and what was to come. I was in a constant state of anticipation with each page as I was eager to discover how it would turn out. I can’t wait for the next book in the series to see what will happen next.

This is the first book in the House on the Hill series. The concept of this book appealed to me, put psychological thriller and haunted house in the same blurb and I’m in.
The writing was descriptive, painting a vivid picture of both the scenery and the characters. The tension built throughout as more and more occurs to unsettle the residents and us as readers. I felt this was done very well, especially with the twists in place, throwing you and what you thought you knew.
I thought telling the story through differing points of view was interesting, it’s not something I’ve come across too often in this genre, but it’s not a bad thing. I think it worked well for this story.
This book ends on a cliffhanger which is frustrating, but only because I am now desperately waiting for the next book to be released to find out what happens and I’m very impatient!

This is a psychological thriller that is absolutely that is filled with so many twists ands turns. This is the first of a three part series and I absolutely cannot wait to read the rest of the books! It takes place in such a quiet small town that is hiding so many secrets! This is a multiple POV book that does this type of story telling very well. The story telling is what is what makes the story what it is. This story is absolutely amazing an it definitely sucks you in with all the creepiness. I cannot recommend this enough. I also am waiting anxiously for the rest of the series. I loved the authors storytelling abilities and want to read even more about this small town and the house on the hill!

I was gripped by this psychological thriller from start to finish. Set in the small rural town of New Haven and told from different characters points of view, this unsettling story was one which I could not put down. The Woods family have lived in the town forever and are as shocked as everyone else when a string of tragedies occur. First the local store burns down with two bodies inside and then a newlywed couple go missing, and there does not appear to be any leads, leaving the townsfolk worried. When the close knit Woods family’s own children and their friends are put in danger they are willing to risk everything to find out what is going on. Throughout the story the abandoned, creepy and known to be haunted house sits on the hill, this seems to be where the secrets of the town might be discovered. However, it may be too late for the Woods family and the town. The likeable and relatable Woods family had me captivated from page one, whilst the claustrophobic feel of the setting along with the chilling haunted house were brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. I felt completely immersed in this novel, the suspense and terror really built chapter by chapter, and the plot twists and turns kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. This was a real page turner and as it ends with a cliffhanger, I am now impatiently waiting for book two in this trilogy.

The Misery House is the first book in the epic three-book series The House on the Hill by David Kummer. We have a quiet and peaceful small-town setting with small-town mindedness where it can be unwelcoming at times and loving at others. The story is told from several POV’s building the tension and drama fuelled by fears. It is a thought-provoking read. It is the lives and the people in this town and the creepiness that surrounds them all that draws you in. Having said that though sometimes the story didn’t flow easily and is a bit stilted surrounding the vivid picture narrative of the characters. It’s just a House on the Hill. An empty House on the Hill. An eerie house. A place where horrors are brought alive by stories. A place where something maybe lurking in the shadows. I still enjoyed the story that holds promise for future books. It does end on a cliff hanger ready for the next book. If you hate cliffie’s you are out of luck but if you like psychological thrillers, then give it a go.

The Misery House is Book One in The House on the Hill Series. It is a sinister psychological thriller that will grab your attention and keep you reading until the end. The author does a superb job of keeping the reader’s attention throughout the story as the suspense and tension builds. He then takes us on a series of twists and turns that keep you riveted until the final pages.
The story is set in a small town and is told from different points of view of the Woods family. It starts off innocently enough as we are introduced to Cliff who is attending his son, Nate’s baseball game. Then comes a mysterious fire that takes place where two dead bodies are discovered. As strange things begin to occur, the townsfolk have noticed that strangers have arrived in town, which in itself is odd because no outsiders generally choose to live there. Cliff’s daughter Kaia’s best friend had just gotten married when her and her husband mysteriously disappeared. Then there is the creepy old house on the hill that must somehow be involved because of its reputation as being haunted.
This book grabbed my attention and kept me reading until the end. I loved the spine-tingling vibes that gave me goosebumps a few times. The characters were well written, and the small-town setting was done superbly. The townsfolk, being so unwelcoming and weary of strangers was dark, mysterious, and creepy in its own respect. If you were not born there, it would be almost impossible to be accepted, which was weird and odd. Any newcomers were viewed as suspicious, and the townsfolk were standoffish in their behavior towards them. Throw in a haunted house and I was seriously hooked! I cannot wait to read the rest of this series!

I want more!! I am in great need of knowing what is going on with this terrifying house. The suspense all the way through to the end has me wanting the next book so bad. The family dynamics in this book are so heartwarming and the very serious protectiveness of the mom makes me feel right at home. The unforeseen fire in the local’s shop is more and more disturbing by the time you hit the end of the book. Just who did it? I can’t believe how quickly this book sucked me in. I am looking forward to the next book by Kummer in this trilogy for sure!

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed reading. This is a suspenseful story about a close family who has found themselves in a situation where they must put it all on the line to keep safe. What happens if time runs out for them? This is a story where the twists and turns will keep you guessing to the end. I found this book to be well written, hard to put down and engaging. The characters and the plot have great growth throughout the story which makes it easy to read. This is a fast paced story that is full of suspense and one you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

One of my favorite parts of The Misery House is the story is told through various characters seamlessly, alternating chapters telling their side. I don’t enjoy true horror, but this book hit just the right bone-chilling feeling.
In my mind, the house on the hill was akin to a haunted house and the setting fit the story perfectly. The characters are diverse, from a baseball playing kid to his older sister, whom has a friend in an interesting relationship. Then a new family moves to the same town, and the discussion turns to family and community bonds. A page turner, and I really enjoyed reading to find out what happens to New Haven.

Gothic horror, this is a new here for me. I’m in love with it. The story told through different characters. The creepy house that gives off totally negative vibes. The town sheriff, who has his own agenda. These make for a recipe of psychological thrillers that will send chills up and down your spine. All the characters stories are so intertwined that they coomingle together so well. The whole tone of the writi ng is mysterious and dark. Small town creepy. Just reading this story gave me memories of older Stephen King stories. I’m a new fan to this author. That cliffhanger….!!!!! I’ll be hanging there waiting for the next book. A definite must read. I would give it more than 5 stars if I were allowed to.

New Haven: This rural town has never seen a string of tragedies like this. A local store burns to the ground with two bodies inside. A newlywed couple goes missing, and all signs point to the abandoned house. With no answers, the townsfolk grow more and more worried.
The Woods family has lived here forever. But when their friends and their own children are put in danger, the threat hits home. This close-knit family must risk everything to find answers, but time is running out.
New Haven has secrets. And a haunted house like you’ve never seen before.
The Misery House is a chilling, suspenseful novel that will keep you guessing until the very end and set the stage for an epic three-book haunting.

I’m a young, independent writer and high school teacher who lives in New Albany, Indiana. My books lean toward mystery, suspense, and dystopian fiction, but I’ve written in a variety of genres. I’ve lived in southern Indiana my whole life, and it has a strong influence on my books. I live with my amazing wife and my time is split between writing, teaching, and nurturing an appreciation for the wild outdoors.

All I can say is what another incredible book. I enjoyed the other books just as much as I enjoyed this one. It’s a supernatural thriller and filled with everything you could imagine a supernatural book would be filled with, from magic, vampires, demons, witches, travel, mystery, suspense, action, twists and turns that I was not expecting. This book just like the other ones kept me on edge and wanting to know what was going to happen next, I couldn’t put it down or read fast enough to find out what was going to happen next. The book continues its story right from the other books, so highly suggest reading the others first, you won’t be disappointed, you’ll be more disappointed that you didn’t. the story has multiple points of views and having back stories and different times always makes the story a very interesting and exciting read. the overall book was well written so much that it was almost made you feel like you were right there with the characters and in the story that you could feel and touch everything and experience everything in the same time. This story does focus more on the Tall Dark Man and he’s desire for vengeance but that didn’t take away from how amazing this series has been. Highly recommend.

For myself, this book started out a bit slow. I’m glad I didn’t give up on it. What an amazing story. Such well thought out characters, the story is deep-rooted in mythology , and is very interesting to read. All of the worlds blend well together the flow is nice. I enjoyed the story very much and highly recommend this book if you like a bit of horror and supernatural worlds in your reading.

This was an interesting read that is very action packed! I like that this is the start of a new series as well as a follow up to the other series. I definitely recommend reading the first series to get a full feel for the characters. This one has some of the old characters but introduces new ones as well. You have to pay attention in the story as it does jump timelines a lot. This does help get you deep into the story. It also gives you all things supernatural in one story. So if you like fantasy reads this is definitely a good series to read. Be prepared to be deep into the story as the author has a unique writing style. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of this series.

Rise of the hunter is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy series. This is the first book in the series that i have read, I did not read the first three books and I was able to follow along although it was tough with different point of views and the flipping back and forth with the timeline. I wish I would have read the other books for more backstory, and I would highly suggest starting the series from the beginning its a great read you won’t regret it. This is also the first book that i have read by this author and I don’t usually read Supernatural or Horror but i loved this book. If you love all things supernatural such as Vampires, witches, Werewolves exc this is the book for you. I really enjoyed all the characters in this book but Chloe and Malakai were my favorites. I do plan on going back and reading the books I look forward to reading more books by this author. Thank you for this amazing read and i look forward to reading more books by you.

4 Stars Rise of the Hunter (Blood Prophecy Series) by Barb Jones
Rise of the Hunter is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy Series and the first book in a new Trilogy. This is a Paranormal story loaded with vampires,demons,witches,werewolves and lots of other supernatural elements. There’s a lot going on and I had a bit of a hard time trying to figure it all out. This authors style of writing pulls you and keeps you turning the pages unfortunately with this one the many different POVs made it hard for me to get into the story with ease like normal. The characters are creative, developed. I truly wanted to enjoy this more than I did. Id recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. If you like many different POVs and stories about revenge then this is a book for you. Im still looking forward to reading more from this Author. I’m hoping it was just the mood I was in for this book.
