Kooba Julia Stone Leather Handbag

Julia Stone’s past comes creeping back when she discovers a strange silver ring, and three men want to support her–but choosing the faulty one could cost not only her heart but her soul.

THE SKULL RING

Dr. Pamela Forrest is determined to fetch Julia’s memories to the surface, hoping to heal Julia’s panic disorder. The therapist keeps returning Julia to a night twenty-three years ago when Julia was four. A night of hooded figures, strange chants, pain, and blood. The night her father disappeared from the face of the earth.

But the line among the past and the present begins to blur when Julia finds a silver skull ring that bears the name “Judas Stone.” Someone is leaving strange messages inside her house, even though the door is locked. The handyman, who has a key, spends a lot of time in the woods behind her house. Her boyfriend Mitchell becomes distant and violent. And the cop who investigated her father’s disappearance has followed her to the little Appalachian town of Elkwood.

Now she has a head full of memories, but she doesn’t know which are real and which are the creations of Dr. Forrest. The shadows of Julia’s panic are growing larger and darker. But consenting reluctantly to madness seems safer than heeding the whispers that assert ownership of her body and soul.

“The Skull Ring” is a fire and brimstone rush
By J.T. Cummins
After surviving a horrid physical and aroused trauma, journalist Julia Stone flees the big city for a new occupation in the bucolic environs of the rural mountain town of Elkwood, North Carolina. There, with the help of therapist, Dr. Pamela Forrest, Julia in a literal sense begins to confront her past demons and the crippling paranoia that plagues her. During these intense therapeutic sessions with Dr. Forrest, dormant memories from Julia’s subconscious commence to resurface–memories that hold mysteries that not only threaten Julia’s sanity, but her very life.

Scott Nicholson is the author of The Red Church, They Hunger, Burial To Follow, and assorted other wildly captivating novels. A slick, pro-writer with a bent for moody, suspenseful tales set in the Appalachian environs of North America, Nicholson knows how to get under the skin of his characters, and thus, the reader’s. In his latest effort into the backwoods, Nicholson has produced one hell of a distinguishable heroine in the guise of Julia Stone. While as plucky and resourceful a protagonist as a reader could hope for, she is also terribly burdened and deeply flawed–which makes it all the having little impact to hug and root for her.

Whether you’re a fan of dark fiction, thrillers, mysteries, the occult, or just damn fine writing, The Skull Ring is a fire and brimstone rush.

A tale full of suspense
By Neal Hock “bookhound78″
Scott Nicholson changes things up a bit in his latest offering, THE SKULL RING. This novel is a suspense story set in the mountains of North Carolina in regards to a young lady named Julia Stone. Julia is searching for clues to her past, who she is, what happened to her, and what happened to her dad. Julia lives in a near neverending state of fear and finds it hard to trust others. The one person she does trust is her doctor, Dr. Forrest. As they delve deeper into Julia’s past, the more “skeletons” come out of Julia’s closet. The closer she comes to the truth, the less sure Julia is that she may handle it. It may come down to a matter of life or death for her.

Nicholson never relents as he takes the reader into Julia Stone’s world. There are the sensations of fear, dread, and anxiety all around this novel. Nicholson’s masterly descriptive writing style brings about a chilling tale set in a finelooking locale and pulls you into the story. You don’t want to miss this one by Nicholson; he demonstrates his capacity to branch out into other genres in a tremendous way with this book.

Enjoyed a walk outside my frequent books
By Adam
I am not traditionally a suspense/horror reader. The author of this book contacted me to see if I would like to review the book after finding my blog. I am always up for something dissimilar so I agreed.

The opening of the book is classic suspense. I was on the edge of my seat. The main reputation is frighted to death of being alone in her home, because of past events and the author did a outstanding occupation giving what seems to be unrational fears real life and meaning. This is a suspense, through most of the book, you are not sure if the main reputation is deluded or someone in truth is out to get her.

At one point, I was reading late at night (while sitting on my bathroom floor among bouts of sickness-stomach virus) and kept wanting to read more, but being a bit too creeped out to keep reading. Eventually I changed books because I wanted to undertake to get galore sleep that night.

If you like suspense, and don’t mind discussion of ritual satanic worship (not overly violent or bloody) this was a good book.
