I enjoyed reading this young adult story. It is a magical story that has a twist of romance added to it. A well written story where the characters pull you into their world from the start. CeCe has some supernatural powers and is being stalked by someone who wants to take them. With a new romance starting and one final curtain call, you don’t want to miss what happens next. This is an engaging story with connectable characters that add so much to the story. There is great growth throughout with the characters and the plot. This is a story that I really enjoyed reading. Any young adult who enjoys mysteries will enjoy this book. I highly recommend this book.

Necromancy, The Musical, is a story of magic, friendship, love and mystery. CeCe has the power of magic – the ability to communicate with the dead. When she goes with her bestie to drama camp, she finds others who share a magic power and this comes in useful when The Caster makes his presence known. This is a great middle grades book. Would be a great read aloud or shared reading.

This was an entertaining book. Cece, our main character, has a unique gift, which she uses in many ways. I absolutely loved the storyline and how the book was set up. This was a very unique story. The characters fit into it so great. The drama camp with everything going on. A little voodoo, with some black magic there, etc. This is a book that keeps you engaged right from the the start. I loved every minute of it.

This book is super entertaining. I wasn’t sure at first how I was going to feel at first based on the synopsis, but I was quickly hooked. Necromancy here is not viewed as icky, it is viewed as a power for good, and Cece uses her power to help her dad. The amount of awkwardness she has around her new “friend” Zach was cracking me up, and mad her character that much more lovable to me. The whole book I was playing detective myself trying to figure out who the castor was that was messing with Cece and I was surprised and not surprised at who it turns out to be, but the story behind his harassment and connections to Cece, and why he wanted her magic was icky. Zach and Cece’s relationship is sweet, and I really loved watching their interactions. Portia, her best friend is a riot and a truly good friend. The ending, there was no cliffhanger, but I am left wanting to know what will happen next with Cece’s mom. And will her dad ask out the FBI sketch artist!

This was a very interesting read with a unique story. It is a captivating magical story filled with danger, mystery, magic and all the normal angst teenagers go through. Cece has a magical gift. She is able to speak to the death. This gift isn’t always a blessing though but it comes in handy when she helps her dad who’s a police officer solve his cases. When Cece goes to drama camp all she wants is to be a normal teenager learning the craft of something she loves however that’s not meant to be when someone with dark magic trys to harm her for her magical abilities she knows she has to stop this person before its too late. Add to this a budding romance between Cece and another person with magic Zach and this story takes plenty of exciting twists and turns. The connection between Zach and Cece was lovely to watch develop. The way that their magical abilities complement each other makes them even more of a perfect fit. The author also does a great job of handling subjects such as death, voodoo and dark magic in a respectful way but also in an informative way showing the reader that it isn’t to be taken lightly and its not without risk. Overall I enjoyed this book. The mixture of magic and the romance/drama camp element was a different take. Cece’s ability was also a unique aspect as I haven’t read many books including that ability.

4.5 stars Necromancy the Musical is a delightful spooky tale. It is a fun and fast paced YA paranormal. With black magic and voodoo this page turner has slightly darker themes but YA’s and adults will be drawn into this story. Debbie has done a good job with the premise making it a quick and easy read with a cast of interesting characters. They are witty, quirky and well-written and well developed and feel real. I enjoyed the relationship between CeCe and Zach was cute to see it blossoming. Sixteen-year-old CeCe LeBlanc is a geek girl who loves drama. She is also a gifted necromancer with “learner” plates. Add in a cute and sweet romance and the fun begins. Picture Wednesday Adams at drama camp in mystical New Orleans and the dark underground where black magic, necromancy, and voodoo is a staple as are the gifted. I thought I had read it all but sure why not a book about a musical called Necromancy, and I was a bit iffy about reading it but I was wrong. The story did start out a little slow but soon picked up. There is a little twist at the end! This is a really good read and would make the perfect present for Christmas presents for those pesky teenage relatives you don’t know what to get.

Wednesday meets High School Musical in this thrilling magical mystery debut, perfect for readers who enjoy the humor of Holly Smale and the mystical world of Rachel Hawkins. Behind the glistening lights of New Orleans hides a darker underbelly, a mysterious world filled with voodoo, magic, necromancy, and gifted people like sixteen-year-old CeCe LeBlanc.
Drama geek by day. Necromancer detective by night.
ACT ONE: CeCe LeBlanc debuts at drama camp. Goodbye to nights talking to the dead, reliving their murders to seek justice. Hello to scene-stealing performances and playing plastic bags in the wind.
ACT TWO: Enter stage right, hunky love interest Zach Wren, who puts the drama in drama camp. Suddenly CeCe’s questioning her “no cliché camp romance” philosophy. The moment she and Zach touch, the intoxicating energy of his magic pulses through her, and sparks fly. The problem? Zach feels it too, and he’s sworn off all things magic.
INTERMISSION: Behind the curtain lurks an evil magic caster, desperate to steal CeCe’s power, haunting her dreams and threatening those she loves. Add in another death and she’s trading in her plastic bags for body bags.
Time is running out, and the danger closes in. No one is safe until she can crack the case.
ACT THREE: CeCe must catch the killer, save her budding romance, and protect the people she loves. All before the final bow. With co-stars like these, what could possibly go wrong?
Nothing a necromantic, drama loving girl can’t handle.

Now a college student, Joey is finding college life comfortable. But studies prove to be more difficult than facing down a horde of black dogs. Struggling with her average life now that the supernatural world has been opened before her, Joey is constantly distracted. Pulled between wanting the standard life of a college student, and the allure of the paranormal. Unfortunately, Portstown has been quiet since the “Great Hunt” of last year, that is until a random fire on campus occurs, and people start going missing.
Disregarded as a student prank, Joey brushes the incident off until she catches Gwen looking into it. Why would one of the guardians from the mysterious Warner family be looking into a silly student prank?
More questions arise when fires start popping up all over campus, and Joey’s dreams turn violent under the control of the Dream Conductor with their twisted intentions. Gathering the group back together Joey must figure out what is happening to the missing people, who is starting the mysterious fires on campus, and what does the Dream Conductor want all while conquering finals. Will Joey pass this semester or will she fall into her deepest fantasies?
This is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy series and it is the first book of the new trilogy for the Tall Dark Man. While I love a good book, I will be honest with y’all. I had a hard time following along, from the different perspectives to the action packed parts of the story. This is the only book from Blood Prophecy that I have read, so maybe I need to read the other three books first. There is always going to be a good vs evil fight but I really see that in this book.

The world is split between good and evil, dark and light and there is a constant battle between the two which most people don’t see, or hear about and it is this battle which is part of the two Prophecies, a person filled with dark magic with try and kill the Queen and her followers and one of these battles has already taken place. The one representing the darkness was thrown into a deep, dark pit by the Queen and her followers, but while they all thought this person was dead, they were actually stealing the life forces of those thrown in with them and using these powers to build a secret demon army, they were employing dark witches to carry out their demands and see to their every need, meanwhile, the Queen was carrying on with her peace, completely unaware of the danger building beneath her feet.
As the months pass and the darkness begins to take hold, the demon army is growing stronger and more numerous and plans are falling into place, but there is a third prophecy which the Queen is unaware of and this is the one which is the darkest and most destructive of all, one where the representative of evil separates the Queen from her followers one by one until all fall under the power of the darkness and serve it unconditionally. A prophecy where a wolf, a witch and an angel are the keys and a hunter, a demon army and dark witches are the locks, it is not an easy path, but one the bringer of darkness is all too happy to follow in order to seek their revenge against the Queen and all that she stands for.
Will the darkness rise along with the hunter, or will good again triumph over evil? This is a twisted tale of the battle between light and darkness, as their representative forces work to either keep the balance, or destroy it. As the supernatural forces in the world decide which side they belong to, secrets, lies, bargains and mysteries mix to create a world where nothing is as it seems and the twists and turns will leave you reeling in this enigmatic story.

Rise of the Hunter was a great book. The author did a great job on the details in the story and with the characters. I liked this book because it was like supernatural and horror all in one book. Rise of the Hunter was a page turner for me. I wanted to know what was going to happen next.

This was such an interesting book. I couldn’t put it down. It almost gave me Buffy the vampire slayer vibes. I really enjoyed the trips to the past to fill in things we didn’t know about the prophecy. I don’t always like flashbacks but it worked very well here. A lot of questions were answered but a lot still remain. Cannot wait to read the rest of the series.

Ooooo the combination of the supernatural with different cultures folklore is so good in this series. Every single book has been a page turner. Like I want to finally get to the end to see what side wins but at the same time I don’t want the series to end. I hope they can save Zara in the next book. Definitely give this series a try if you’re into vamps, werewolves, witches and mythology.

Rise of the Hunter is… intriguing. I still think the different points of view of each important character is fascinating in this series. The fact that this one dives in a little deeper about the gods and the prophecy’s first expression and being written deepen the story realm by a lot. The history is so much fun to hear. I love these characters 😍

I enjoyed this book. The author created a vibrant and exciting world and a story with some very interesting characters. The story bounces back and forth between the present and the past to help develop the characters and provide history of each character that allows us readers to understand what drives them. It is a fascinating unique world the author has created and I look forward reading the next book in the series.

What a great supernatural book! I had read the first in this series but somehow skipped the next two. After reading this one, I’m definitely going to go back and enjoy the rest of the series. Even though I did miss what I’m sure will be amazing books, I didn’t feel confused as far as the plot. The Tall Dark Man was definitely fearsome and made me think that maybe I shouldn’t have read this at night. I always enjoy stories with multiple points of view, but this one did bog me down a little as it switched in odd places which interrupted my flow a bit. That’s really my only minor issue with this book. Otherwise, I feel like the author is continuing an incredibly supernatural horror series that I’m looking forward to reading in the future!

While Rise of the Hunter is the 4th book in the Blood Prophecy Series, I didn’t feel like I needed to read the other books in the series to understand it. Barb Jones does an amazing job of introducing characters and explaining the details of past events. The book is fast paced, full of twists and turns, and plenty of paranormal elements which I really enjoyed. Barb Jones introduces a lot of believable, quality characters that I either loved or loved to hate, from light to dark, good and evil. However, I did get confused in the flow of the story. There were a lot of different character perspectives interspersed with varying time periods and different myths and legends. I found the constant switching to be a little confusing and difficult to follow. Overall, Rise of the Hunter was a good paranormal read.

The book is about the Tall Dark Man, only known to very few, and his revenge against the queen and her allies when he was thrown into a dark pit. This story/series is filled with so many supernatural paranormal elements that it made me very excited to get into it. The only downfall is being part 4 of the series, readers can get lost in the details that help better understand where the novel takes its place now. There are also elementals of Hawaiian traditions and cultures, which I’ve grown to love from reading previous novels. Reading up a bit on Barb Jones, the author, is being raised in Hawaii and using those stories she’s grown to love into her new supernatural creation. I want to reread this one once I’ve read the previous ones in the series to start loving this series!

The ‘Tall dark man’ lost his battle with the queen and her entourage three years ago and he was thrown into the pit. Three years later, he is back for vengeance. Three prophecies were told, two have come to pass. The third is all in favor of evil. The tall dark man has a coven of witches which he commands to make a demon army to take down those from the past and to find a certain Angel.
Meanwhile the queen and her group are trying to learn more about this third prophecy and how they can stop the tall dark man once again.
This book was really difficult to get into. It kept jumping from different dates in the past and present from different characters’ point of views. It was really hard to keep track of whose who and what’s what. The storyline itself was interesting. There were many different supernatural beings, vampires, demons, werewolves and even gods. I also liked learning about different Hawaiian gods and goddesses but it was hard to be fully immersed when I spent a big portion of the time a little confused. Maybe it would have been better if I read the previous books in the series first?

Amber is queen of all that is good and The Tall Man is all that is evil.
The Tall Man is trying to fulfil one of the prophecies and that will have him rule while the Queen is trying to fulfil another prophecy that will hopefully end The Tall Man.
If you like books about vampires, wolves and witches with some evil, you will enjoy this trilogy.

Rise of the Hunter (Blood Prophecy Series) by Barb Jones. I have read all these books and I’ve really enjoyed them. I don’t think you can read this one as a standalone because there are too many different perspectives and people. Its the story of the Tall Dark Man who everyone has thought was dead for a long time. He is very much alive and planning major revenge on the Queen. Queen Amber is set out to make peace with everyone. She must find all the missing pages from the Romani book in order to stop evil. There are witches, vampires, spells and wolves in this story and you have to pay attention to know what’s going on. Will good win over evil again? Will Queen Amber find the peace she so desperately needs for everyone or will The Tall Dark Man get his revenge? Read this fast paced book to find out!

This is the fourth book in the Blood Prophecy series. I do really recommend reading the previous books so that you get the full story and the back stories of all the characters in the story. This is a fast paced paranormal adventure. With a mixture of vampires, witches, werewolves and god as well the constant fight of good versus evil, this is definately a story to keep you gripped and leave you wanting more. The only thing that I found a little hard was the story being told from so many points of view. With so many characters and so many time lines at times it got a little bit confusing. But saying that it didn’t deter me or make me want to stop reading. It just meant I needed to concentrate on why I was reading. This story follows the Tall Dark Man and his journey as his builds himself and an army back up from the ruins of nothing into a powerful force ready to take on the people who did him wrong in the past. Is he going to be strong enough to finally beat Queen Amber? Will evil win over good once and for all? This is an action packed story and I can’t wait to see what the author has instore for us next

While this is the 4th installment of the Blood Prophecy series, it’s the 1st in The Tall Dark Man. Having only read the 1st in the Blood Prophecy series, I was a little lost at first, BUT I caught on really quick as this is really fast-paced and intriguing. It gives Ann Rice vibes in all the right ways, and I will be going back to read the others in the Blood Prophecy series.

The battle of Good v. Evil continues! The Tall Dark Man is the one controlling things now. The witches fear him and bow to him. However, our Queen, Amber does not!
This story, like the ones before it, jumps from different points in time and between character points of view, often and quickly. I love that, but you really have to pay attention. There are still the vampires, wolves, witches and seers battling for the good of the world. Hawaiian myths, legends and beliefs fill the pages. It is best if you read the Blood Prophecy series, 3 books, in order to best understand and follow this story. Things are revealed in this book that I didn’t know had happened since I skipped a book.
Another good start to a new series and again looking forward to going back to read what I missed and catching up to what is next!

What a great story! So many characters, vampires, witches, demons, humans. Beings that don’t know what they are right away. The story line jumps from the past to the present and back many times. But Jones has written in such a way that the story is very easy to follow. While reading this story you can certainly feel the build up, you can feel something big is going to happen.
Since not everything can fall on one being’s shoulders, this adventure involves the shoulders of many different beings to defeat the evil trying to over take the world.
This is my first book by this author and I am looking forward to reading more from her.
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.

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!

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.

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.
