Review: 
ape Haven is a small town in California, where Police Chief Walk is not only trying to keep his small town safe but also he carries a heavy burden on his heart. He carries the guilt of long ago when he turned in his best friend, Vincent for accidentally killing a girl when he was 15 sending him to prison.
Then we have Dutchess who is a 13 year old girl who has seen and dealt with much more responsibility that any one 13 year old girl should have.
When Vincent King is released from prison, Walk is hopeful for him to still be the same guy he was before he went into prison and he is hoping for a new beginning for him. However his hopes are short lived when he is found at Star's house with her blood on him and she is found with a hole in her chest.
Dutchess, a self proclaimed outlaw,  after lighting a club on fire she stole some money for her mother to go to the convenience store to get the stuff for her brother's birthday returned to her home with her life shattered into pieces when her mother Star was killed.
Starting a new journey for Dutchess and her brother Robin as they move onto a farm with her mothers father her grandfather and a new journey for Walk as he and his old flame try thier hardest to try to prove that Vincent King is innocent of murder as well as try to find out who actually killed Star all along with trying to keep Dutchess and Robin safe from the club owner trying to find Dutchess to solve his issues as well.
Now, I read this book first and then I listened to the Audiobook. The Audiobook is amazing, the narrator is amazing and keeps your attention while he is reading the story. Definitely Recommend to anyone if you like audiobooks!
Now, this story is AMAZING. Dutchess is a very guarded person and she tries her hardest to keep up her guard but there are a few people that wiggle their way through and its amazing. I sympathize with her a lot because she keeps getting knocked down time after time and her world is turned upside down on her over and over and she still continues. I love her determination and her perseverance. Walk is dealt a very difficult hand, and while he carries his own burdens he continues to work towards his goals and trying to solve the mystery and get the case together to try and save Vincent. But, not everyone wants to be saved.
This is a book that will pull on your heart strings and make you cry but it is soo good! I would love to see this one made into a movie or sometime along that lines it is sooo freaking GOOD! I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves Kristen Hannah books, the feel for the story is similar to hers that I have read!

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...
