INTRODUCTION

Hi everyone My name is Victoria Zumbrum, 40 years old, married 14 years with 1 son. This is my very first blog. So bear with me. I have always wanted to have my own blog. I have always loved to read. I enjoy getting lost in a good book.
I love becoming part of the story and characters. I am hoping to bring my love of books to my readers.

I love reading different genres such as paranormal, young adult, romance, romantic suspense, mystery, Christian fiction, some horror, etc. The list goes on. I started reviewing books a couple of years ago and have done reviews for different blogs and even some authors. I really have enjoyed reviewing books and I will continue to do so. If anyone is interested in me reviewing a book for them, please contact me. I still have a lot to learn regarding my own blog so bear with me. I welcome and appreciate all followers.

Review of Ringrock by Stephen Barnard

 


Four students, travelling back to university from a friend’s party, crash their car in a desolate part of the Yorkshire moors. They stumble across a village that has no right being there: it isn’t on any map and has no means of communication with the outside world.


It also doesn’t take kindly to strangers.

Ruth Glover lives in Ringrock, but she wants out. She fears for the safety of her baby and the ritual that takes an offering from one of the village families each and every month.

Four outsiders might just be the key to her escape.

Doctor Sebastian Wheelwright rules the village with an iron fist. Anything that upsets the delicate balance of how his community operates has to be removed, with extreme prejudice if necessary.

Ethan, Odd, Noah and Kyle… they cannot be allowed to stay. But neither can they be allowed to leave, once they learn the secret of the Ringrock itself.

A new horror/suspense novel from Stephen Barnard, the author of Grievers’ Wood and No One Is Leaving.

MY REVIEW:

RINGROCK IS A FAST PACED SUSPENSE HORROR THAT LEAVES THE READER WANTING MORE. IT IS HORROR BUT NOT MONSTER HORROR LIKE I FIRST THOUGHT BUT STILL A GREAT STORY THAT YOU WILL NOT WANT TO PUT DOWN. THE AUTHOR HAS CREATED A UNIQUE AND FRIGHTENING WORLD WITH CHARACTERS YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE AND CHARACTERS YOU WILL DISLIKE. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS STORY. IT IS A UNIQUE STORYLINE THAT YOU DON'T NORMALLY READ. I WAS HOOKED FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE UNTIL THE VERY END. THERE IS SUSPENSE AND ALOT OF ACTION THROUGHOUT THE STORY THAT LEAVES THE READER ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEAT. THERE ARE A LOT OF TWISTS AND TURNS THAT LEAVE YOU GUESSING. IT TOOK ME A LITTLE BIT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THERE WERE 2 DIFFERENT STORIES THAT COLLIDED. I LOVE STEPHEN BARNARD, AUTHOR'S WRITING AND CAN'T WAIT TO READ MORE BOOKS ABOUT HIM.  RINGROCK IS A MUST READ FOR FANS OF HORROR AND SUSPENSE.  5 STARS


Stephen Barnard has been writing and self-publishing for a number of years. He predominantly writes horror / suspense, but has also written the science fantasy trilogy, 'Portentous'. When he's not doing that he sometimes teaches, parents, reads and binge-watches horror films.
