Ben Robinson’s not crazy, but nobody’s ever believed him. Eleven years ago, he and Peter watched four of their friends die in that abandoned orphanage in their hometown, and they were the only ones who got out. Now, Ben’s worked too hard to separate himself from the terrifying scars of that night. He’s almost finished with his undergrad at Boston University. He and Peter are still friends. Life … Peter are still friends. Life is pretty dull, and that’s the way he likes it. Until the voices in his head come back just in time for Ben to face a new demon, in a new city, with a new hunger for dead bodies.
Then the nightmares return—only this time, Ben dreams of their friend Ian, who says he’s still trapped in the rotting house and needs their help to free him. With a dangerous, ancient book that probably shouldn’t exist and the help of a girl who can handle a lot more than a little horror, Ben and Peter have to go back to the one place they never wanted to see again. And Ben may have to finally embrace the parts of himself no sane person would dare to consider.

This storyline has emotion, loss, demons, action, adventure, a spark of romance, intrigue, vivid descriptions, and suspense. Unfortunately the pace of the book stalls near the middle, but picks up again. This is a good start to a new series, and I liked it.

Chosen: Demon Hunter is Book 1 in the Demon Hunter series written by Adam Dark & Matthew Thrush. This is a well written adventure that has an interesting storyline, excellent characters and is exciting, scary, humorous, and thrilling. Ben and Peter survived a demon in a haunted house while four of there friends perished violently. After many years trying to hide from that experience, Ben begins to have dreams that Ian, one of their friends, is still alive and trapped in the haunted house. Ben relates his dream to Peter and they decided they must go and rescue Ian. Ben, Alice (Ben’s girlfriend), and Peter go back to the haunted house to help Ian escape. This is a very good read. Received an ARC from Booksprout and this is my voluntary and honest review.
Well written and interesting to a degree. I had a hard time getting to this book, I had trouble connecting to Ben and Pete. It was a good book overall just never connected with the main characters.
Really my only issue with this book was my lack of connection to the mc.
Adam Dark and Matthew Thrush have woven a tale of two young boys surviving an inconceivable horrific visit to the local haunted house where they found out the hard way it truly was haunted.by a Demon. One tells his parents about his terrible ordeal only to have to endure psychiatrists, psych meds and stays in psychiatric wards. The other boy just stops thinking about it. Four of their friends die in the house. This YA story is packed full of action, danger, and teen angst that will please any fantasy reader. Highly recommended!

The beginning of a great series. Ben was young and burned down a house that had a demon in but also his best friend. Now years later his best friend is trying to tell him danger is coming for him. As things unfold he may be able to find away to talk to her friend and find out what’s going on and maybe how to stop it! This was a wonderful beginning of the series!

When Ben and Peter were young they escaped from a haunted house however four of their friends did not make it. Now they are in college and more supernatural things are happening and they have to figure out what is happening and why. It was a good read, lots of action and new characters being introduced. I would recommend this book.

I have read the rest of the series, now I have read the first book and it makes a lot more since than before. It is a very good story. The plot is very different from other stories also. A whole new world opens up for us. I really like the story. I do feel bad for Ben in the way no one ever believed him when he was younger. It looks like he has learned how to cope with it now in a more positive way. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Rvcd an advanced reader copy for giving my two cents. We meet Ben and Peter who 11 yra ago watched 4 of their friends brutally murdered in front of them in a haunted house so to speak. Ben has been plagued with hearing voices, taking meds and deemed a schizophrenic bc of the orderal. Now in college, Ben has seen a demon at a frat party and helps save ppl from a house fire and now voices have come back. With his BFF Peter and his girl crush April (who has visions/dreams) they will embark on smtg out of the ordinary especially after Ben has dreams of Ian (one of his friends that died in that house) asking for help. What could possibly go wrong?

Possession or Insanity?
.
Ben and Peter may have escaped the abandoned orphanage eleven years ago, but four of their friends did not and telling the story of what really happened left Ben on medication with a diagnosis of mental illness. Now the voices are back and they are being summoned back to the scene of their worst nightmares.
The writing in this book has a dark, but intriguing edginess. This fast-paced, paranormal novel has all the best elements – possessions, demons, lost souls – everything needed to grab and hold my interest from page one. I received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary. This is going to be a great series!
This book grabs ahold of you and won’t let you go until you have read it through. It has spine tingling and heart pounding action. Packed with lots of scary moments. Couldn’t put this book down and I can not wait to read the next book in this series.

This is the first time in reading the authors which has turned out to be a good discovery. Peter and Ben take you on quite the thrilling tale with it also being the first in this world. It draws you out right away starting with tragedy. Time matches on with new thrills that have you sitting up. We also are given a rush as this unfolds several times. It will wrap around holding into a piece ensuring you come back again.
