Review: 
So the paranormal has always intrigued me. So of course the title caught my eye.
Now, the religious aspect didn’t bother me at all because the family was battling a demon in their  own home. However, the author did like to fluff his own feathers in the first half and basically told his own biography in the first half of the book. I understand that he was trying to set up his background and put out his credibility there because he worked for the people. However his fluffed feathers were over the top.
I would give the book three stars but I changed it to four stars because of how much ridicule the author received  by putting out his story out there in the open where people would be a skeptic and might be quick to judge saying that the events that happened in the house never could have occurred.
Think about it this way if demonic oppression and infestations were soo believable then there would be a direct map on how to go from a to b to remove them. Each haunting or situation is going to be different, similar to other stories people will not believe them. I enjoyed the actual situation and what they did to battle the demon in the home, his biography not so much.

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...
