Review: 
Alice and her crew are making a documentary about a village called Silvertjarn, a town where over 850 residents just disappeared without a trace and when someone did make it to the village there was a woman with mental difficulties stoned to death and a crying infant in the  schools nurse's office in town. Everyone else in the town disappeared into thin air, taking none of their belongings and leaving no indication to where they went. Alice and Tone have personal connections to this village because Tone's mother was the baby found and Alice's family was some of the village to disappear.
As Alice and her crew start the documentary Tone ends up spraining her ankle pretty bad when she stepped on a not really stable piece of wood. As time progresses the crew start to get eerie feelings of being watched as some things start to occur such as screams, voices, giggles are being heard on the walkie talkies.Then when Emmy leaves tone to talk to her mom on her cell phone Tone disappears. As they are trying to put together the clues to see if she left on her own accord to go to the doctor, did someone kidnap her or did something more sinister happen that is connected to the village.
I really enjoyed this book with all the eerie feelings going on and the mystery on what happened to the people! I liked that the book switched into the present and into the past to give you an overall picture of what was happening as it was happening then and now. I definitely recommend this for anyone who likes horror or anything like the blair witch project. Definitely a book I will reread because it was that good!!! Check out The Lost Village when it is released in March 2021 you will not be disappointed and just a piece of advice do not read this one in the dark!
Thank you Netgally and Minotaur books for the opportunity to read this one!

So now they are pretending to be in a relationship and they are going to Jordan's fathers funeral. Now, this game gets too serious when Cory starts to actually get feelings for Jordan and Jordan is too stubborn to tell Cory he has the same feelings. This is a cute quick read and I loved it and binged it in one night!

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...
