Review: 
I'll round it up to a 5 STAR read for me! I really enjoyed BirdBox so when I heard that there was a sequel to that book I knew I had to read it! Once I picked it up there was no setting it down, I was hooked and I finished in less than a day! It was absolutely amazing!  The book starts off where we left them at the school for the blind but then time jumps to where the kids are now teenagers! They are still living with the blindfolds, and trying their best to survive and not look at the beast. That is until one day a census worker came by and left some literature for the family. When they were looking at the listed survivors and the train that ran to get to the survivors they found Malorie's parents' names on the list. So, after her inner turmoil Malorie decides to take that risk that journey to see if she can find her parents. They take their time and even as they are walking Tom is showing more of a defiance, rebellious side like he wants more, the literature has kind of gotten to his head a bit and he knows he wants more. I don't want to give too much away but there is definitely the horror from the previous book as well as new risk and challenges and not to mention there are secrets to be shared that blindside the reader completely. There has to be a next installment, this series is just soooo freaking good! I definitely recommend it!

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...
