Review: 

Every parent's worst nightmare comes true.
Elizabeth is waiting for a text from her 13 year old son Tommy, who is with his Friends Luis and Josh at an overnight sleepover. He always texts her good night and then her home phone starts ringing.
When she answers it's the boys asking her if Tommy was home, that he ran off into the woods and they lost him. Elizabeth's heart sinks, she knows something is not right,that something is wrong and then she see's or thinks she sees her son crouched in her room. But, he's not there.
Then, Detective Allison and Elizabeth start going through Tommy's diaries and journals to find out Tommy wasn't  a happy 13 year old boy they originally thought that he was.  The Media are having a field day when they find out the boys have been drinking and they would go into the woods with an older guy that they thought was a friend. Things go from bad to worse with the diary pages and then the can of worms is open and there is no turning back. Did Tommy run away or did something more sinister happen?
This is the third book, I've read from the author and I will give his other books a go. I liked the mystery and how everything was pieced together. I really enjoyed this book and it definitely does have the spooky vibe, along with an urban legend! A great book!

My Review of Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones

​ Title: Sex Cult Nun  Author: Faith Jones  Published: November 30, 2021  Published by: William Morrow Books  Genre: True Crime/Memior  Pages: 400  Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  Review:  I'm giving this book 5 stars. The reason for the five stars is the rawness and the transparency of this author that she went into the details that she knew would bother a lot of people, she went to the deepest and darkest times in her life and she put them on blast. She blasted her truth from the rooftops for not only herself but for everyone that is not able to share their truth.  This book has an abundance of disturbing and disgusting content and a lot of underage sexual abuse and rape. That is the part that is hard to read about, but her courage to share it and write it is very eye-opening. I did not agree with he whole sharing and polygamy but with each their own. I know I would not want to share my spouse with another person. The whole child abuse and sexual abuse...
