Pages: 384 pages 
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review: 
This is a first for me by this author.
This story is dark, depressing, disturbing and of course a page turner!
Cold Creek Highway seems kinda like the urban legend type of story. Hitchhiking or being alone in the dark along the highway attracts the attention of the serial killer that preys on girls.
So many of the girls that have disappeared along this highway are long forgotten!
Now, this story is told immaculately by two different POV.
We have Beth who comes into town to find out exactly what happened to her sister Amber who was killed on this stretch of highway a year earlier and then we have Hailey who basically escaped the wilderness around the town after finding out her uncle was definitely NOT who she thought that he was!
These girls are tough and very resourceful throughout the whole story! I enjoyed getting to see what they would do next. I enjoyed that some aspects of the story were realistic and raw, like it seemed totally believable that it could actually happen. The villain was someone who I kinda had a feeling about but it was still a mic drop moment!
So, that being said I do not want to reveal too much of the story however, if you enjoy books that will keep you guessing and that will keep your mind turning even after you put the book down then this is the book for you! I am definitely going to check out her other book because this one was AMAZING!!!

So now they are pretending to be in a relationship and they are going to Jordan's fathers funeral.

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...
