  • WINNER: The Kindle Book Review Awards 2022 - Fiction - Horror/Suspense

~~~

“The vivid action sequences resembled a fast-paced movie, making The Devil of Misty Lake a perfect read for anyone interested in an adventurous ride.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Shrabastee Chakraborty (5 STARS)

Miriam Brooks leaves Texas to hunt the legendary Devil of Misty Lake. Eager to prove herself, she packs her bags and heads to the Pacific Northwest, known for its stories of Bigfoot. This lake, however, holds something else entirely, and Miriam quickly learns that she’s not the only one after this monster.

As a ruthless hunter skirts the periphery with a far more sinister plan, Miriam must stay one step ahead of the competition. She engages in a deadly game of cat and mouse, but... something much more dangerous waits just below the surface.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the fifth book in the critically-acclaimed, multiple award-winning “Lorestalker” series of horror stories featuring creatures of lore and dark imagination. [DRM-Free]

Product description

About the Author

AUTHOR: J.P. Barnett grew up in a tiny Texas town where the list of possible vocations failed to include published author. In second grade, he worked harder than any other student to deliver a story about a tiger cub who singlehandedly saved the U.S. Military, earning him a shiny gold star and a lifelong appreciation of telling a good story. Fast forwarding through decades of schooling and a career as a software engineer, J.P. Barnett stepped away from it all to get back to his first real passion. Years of sitting at a keyboard gifted him with some benefit, though, including blazing fast typing hands and a full tank of creativity. As a child, J.P. consumed any book he could get his hands on. The likes of Stephen King, Michael Crichton, and Dean Koontz paved the bookshelves of his childhood, providing a plethora of fantastical and terrifying tales that he read way too early in life. Though the effect these books had on his psyche could be called into question, these masters of storytelling managed to warp his mind in just the perfect way to spin a fun yarn or two. J.P. currently resides in Seattle with his wife and hellion of a cat, both of whom look at him dubiously with some frequency.

EDITOR: A writer since age six and a professional one since nineteen, Mike Robinson's initial editing experience came in the swarms of prose he pumped out into the world, only occasionally into the world of actual magazines, anthologies or e-zines. Soon, as he began selling more regularly, and as publishers took note of his longer works, he began freelance editing. He's edited screenplays, memoirs, novels, children's books and, would you believe it, epic narrative poetry. One of the novels he edited, "Under the Tamarind Tree," was shortlisted among nine others for the 2014 Dundee International Book Prize. A charter member of The Greater Los Angeles Writers Society (GLAWS), he's also the managing editor of the organization's official publication, Literary Landscapes, which features stories, excerpts, articles and poetry (see issues here). In addition, he belongs to the editing collective Write For Success, for which he performs manuscript critiques and consultation. As an author, he has published nine novels and almost fifteen short stories. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another thrilling book in the series
Reviewed in the United States on 10 January 2022
Verified Purchase
Book 5, The Devil of Misty Lake, was a return to the rest of the series. Miriam and Macy have their first real cryptid investigation, this time in the forest of the Pacific Northwest (I would've loved to see a reference to the Pacific Northwest tree octopus). The author also returns to the same twist/reveal he's used in the prior books, and it works as well here as it did in the rest of them. I also liked the introduction of the new characters - a monster-focused bounty hunter and a local guide - who I hope to see teaming up with Miriam and Macy in future books. Miriam again shows some great character growth in this book, especially at the end, that I expect to affect her in future books as well. Macy has growth too, the realistic kind that comes from her experience in book 4, that demonstrate the author's deep understanding of human nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling!

Oh man, this story started with a bang and never let up. The story switches between a couple POVs and the author did this incredibly well. Sometimes I'll favor one character and try to speed read until I can get back to the character's chapters, but not with this book. The combination of mystery and suspense kept me engaged in all the storylines. The monster hunt had some unique twists I didn't anticipate. I read this book first despite being 5th in the series, but I wasn't confused at all. I'll be checking out this series from the beginning!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Paced Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on 15 November 2021

From the moment I opened the book until the very end, there was non-stop action on multiple fronts. There are surprises and plot turns along the way that kept me engaged and guessing about what happened next. I have read the other 4 books and this book does not disappoint - it’s a great series but it also stands alone if this is the first book you read. I highly recommend this book and the entire series. I am waiting anxiously for the final book in the series to come out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Fantastic Book in the Series
Reviewed in the United States on 8 November 2021

This is the fifth book in the LoreStalker Series and, once again, is better than the previous books. I've grown very attached to the characters in the books and they continue to delight me with their depth and character. I'm hugely excited to see the next book in the series and will look for other books by the author. He's won a fan.
