Reviews:
Josi Kilpack
"Family secrets, magic, and a fascinating setting. Well written and cleverly done. Trapped is a great example of what makes suspense novels so engaging."
Leah on Goodreads
"It had everything! . . . In one word: special, no, Magical! I especially liked the fiction that was so unreal, you actually wanted more of that. I think that authors have drifted off from that because they think we as readers, get bored. And most times I do with that much of a stretch, but she made it work. I was never bored in this book! It was a very well rounded book with a great beginning, middle and end! Amazing read."
Michele Ashman Bell (Meridian Magazine)
"A well-woven plot, with strong characters and a great setting, Trapped . . . will grab you in the first few pages and keep you turning them with anticipation."
And from an interview with Michele:
"I enjoyed Ronda's book tremendously. She's a gifted author and storyteller. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and up all night."

The Hope Chest Review
"There were a number of twists and turns along the way that kept me guessing. Some things I figured out right before they happened and others were a big surprise . . . the mystery/suspense . . . was well-done. " *Spoiler Alert* within the complete review.
Kathi Oram Peterson
"I knew I was in for suspense just from the title, but what I didn’t expect was a wonderful layering of mythical legend twined with the plot."
Jody Durfee"Trapped . . . snatched up my attention with its first sentence. Hinrichsen carefully presents absorbing characters, heart-tugging romance and mystical-laden riddles in a way that kept me turning pages way past bedtime."

"Ronda's growth as an author shown through dynamically and in an exciting way. . . If TRAPPED were given a grade, I would have given it an A."
Taffy Lovell
"The story of the curse is in and of itself an interesting story. Ronda could probably write a whole book just on the curse. . . This is a good, clean read for any age."
Lynn Fowlstone
"TRAPPED fit the bill perfectly for me. Filled with suspense, mystery and thrills with a slight touch of the paranormal . . . The first few pages at the beginning grabbed me and it was hard to put the book down."
Mary Greathouse
"Ronda Hinrichsen builds layer upon layer of suspense as she moves from a local scare to international intrigue . . . Find yourself a quiet corner and a good chunk of time to enjoy this new novel . . . I think you'll enjoy it. I know that I did."
Christine Bryant
"I'm a lover of paranormal romance, so you can imagine how delighted I was when the medieval curse surfaced and the details of the main character's past was revealed. Not only was I drawn further into the story, but I had a hard time putting the book down."
Sheila Stayley
"I was very impressed from the very first paragraph of this novel. . . this book needs to be used as an example, at a writers conference, to show how to write a fantastic hook! . . I recommend this book to those who like mystery, romance and want to read a tension filled thriller until the last page."
Connie Hall
"From the very first exciting paragraph until the very end of the book was full of suspense. The longer I read, the more I found it difficult to turn the pages fast enough. This was a well-written, magical story."
The Book Whisperer
"Her character and story line were very original, and the detail to which she wrote without overloading the story had me on the edge of my seat. This is an author that has definitely proven her abilities . . . With the number of books I have read it is hard to find a novel that totally Blind Sides me."
Deanne Blackhurst
"this is a great summer read for women and girls of all ages. There is plenty of romance but it doesn't over power the story. And Hinrichsen manages to keep the twists and turns coming, so hang onto your seat."

I did a year ago and so much more than I did two years ago...
