My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh, I like this tag line – EVIL DOES NOT DIE. IT SEEKS VENGEANCE, it was what intrigued me to pick it up and have a read.
It is a dark and gritty read and is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy paranormal series with vampires, werewolves, witches, demons, and other supernatural’s. It has all the exciting elements with revenge, dark magic, good vs evil and prophecies just to name a few.
Rise of the Hunter has a good premise but there is a lot going on in different time zones and with lots of different POV’s it makes it hard at times to keep track of everything and fully lose yourself within the story.
Like the other books in the Rise of the Hunter it is an action-packed original story and an interesting read. As I said before It is fast paced with a lot going on and a lot to keep up with. There are characters that you will like but there are those that you won’t and too many voices to be heard.
His world turned upside down in the worst way. He is now on a path for vengeance and those that stand in his way will cease to exist. Revenge is sweet!
There is so much potential that I’m hoping the series will be streamlined as we go. If you like darkness and the supernatural dive in and see what you think. You never know you may love it.

There are a handful of fantasy books I have read and and even smaller portion that have kept me glued to the pages. The fight between good and evil is always such an entertaining topic to read about because everyone has a different perspective. If you haven’t read the first few books in this series I suggest you do so. I myself will be doing so as I started this series with this book and felt a bit lost at times. Even with that it wasn’t too difficult to keep up with what was happening in this part of the story. Overall it was a good read and I will be looking forward to seeing what happens next.

This isn’t the normal genre that I read. It sounded like an interesting story. There’s plenty of action, vampire, wolves, witches, and crazy strong demons. The plot of a prophecy to be fulfilled in itself could be told in any story. What makes Rise of the Hunter interesting is the way this prophecy starts to be fulfilled. There are several plot points I wish the author unpacked more in scene than summary but there was still plenty of information to keep the novel moving. If you like the supernatural world of witches, demons, and vampires, the this is the story for you!

This is not only the 4th book in the Blood Prophecy series but also the 1st in a trilogy. I would recommend reading the first 3 books of the Blood Prophecy Trilogy before reading this one so you can know the character’s portrayed and voicing the stories as well as understand the events which have led to this point.

As with the previous books, this is written from multiple perspectives and from multiple different periods of time. This may be confusing at first but the author does a good job at making it lear what is happening.

I enjoyed the characters and what each brought to the story, their backgrounds and experiences have shaped them well into even more interesting individuals. Another element I enjoyed was the historical side of Hawaii, I wasn’t expecting it, but I found it fascinating and thought it made the series more unique.

I’m looking forward to reading more in the series as I’m now invested in their lives.

This book is a great story and a brilliant addition to the series. I also enjoyed the fact that it is the start of a new series too. The book is a well written fantasy story that was so easy to engage with. I was pulled in to the story straight away and loved how the author built the story up.
I enjoyed the combination of old and new characters. They all added some thing to the overall story and made the book much better to read. Although I have only read a few books by this author I have enjoyed them all and I am looking forward to more.

“EVIL DOES NOT DIE. IT SEEKS VENGEANCE.”

Rise of the Hunter is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy series by Barb Jones. This is an original paranormal story with witches, vampires, demons, angels, Hawaiian shamans/culture/history/gods, the supernatural, good vs evil, plots, agendas, vengeance, magic, mythology, drama, action, adventure, suspense, mystery, intrigue, tension, mysteriousness, prophecy, twists, and danger.
This book focuses on the Tall Dark Man (from the series), as well as the return of the main characters from the previous books- as Ms. Jones weaves an intriguing tale that was made even more interesting by injecting some of her personal history/culture into her story.
Even though this is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy series, it is also the first book in a trilogy focusing on the Tall Dark Man, so I am interested in seeing where we go from here. Having said that, I Highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one as there is a lot of information and backstory that you will probably need in order to save any confusion here as the character introductions and other relevant details are contained in those previous books.
Again, as with Ms. Jones other books, there is a LOT going on in the story, making for a interesting read- BUT with the story being told from so many perspectives (at least 18 individuals POV’s) plus all the time jumps, made for a bit of a jumbled, and at times, confusing read. The transitions were a bit choppy which added to the unsteady feel. I think the story would have been better if the ‘information’ was provided from much fewer perspectives, and the ‘historical’ details/stories were provided through the ‘current’ dialogue instead of all the time jumps, I mean we jump through so many centuries, even as far back as the birth of Pele- Hawaiian Goddess-Hawaiian Creation, then visiting Nostradamus, ancient Hawaii, various cities/places in the present day, as well as jumping back to B.C. a few times, then back to ‘present day’, then back in time again, then forward again, and so on and so forth- which honestly just made me a little dizzy and added to the confusion- and just seemed to me to be more like haphazard info dumps. But the mysteriousness that Ms. Jones infused into her story definitely added to the overall intrigue and feel of the story- amping up some tension while adding interest.
The story is set to continue, so I will have to wait to see what Ms. Jones has in store for us, in the future instalments.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Barb Jones.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is the first book in a new series for this author. It is also the fourth book in the current series which I highly suggest reading as well. This will help with your enjoyment of this author’s writing skills. I enjoy how she uses details to make her books realistic and as if you are part of the story. This book is no different. I found this book to be well written and a great start to this new series. The characters pull you into their dark world of the supernatural. A fight be good and evil but who will win, only fate knows. There is great growth with the characters and the plot throughout. They are strong, connectable, creative characters that add so much to the entertainment value of the story. I also enjoyed how fast paced and engaging this story is. It is easy to read which I highly recommend reading.

Wow! I found this story to be quite exciting. The Queen and her friends are in for the battle of their life. Good and Evil. The Tall Dark Man makes his return. Having read the first book and then jumping here to book 4 made it a touch confusing but I did finally get my bearings. The story went back and forth giving history of the prophecy leading to the third battle. As a paranormal fan, I love that there’s a bit of everything in there: vamps, stone demons, witches, you name it. Fantasyland. You are pulled right in from the beginning as the story delves right into how the tale began. I found it to be well-written. The time jumps were done smooth so that you could follow the story without getting lost. The Hawaii history was quite fascinating and a wonderful touch to the story. I believe it’s a story worth reading. I do think this is better read in order but you can do stand-alone.
