Review: 
Now and then you just need a good spooky, eerie tale to chill your bones.
I love when spooky books incorporate eerie things from the past and bring them into the story, it adds that chilling factor! So many things happened soo long ago, along with soo many things that are happening in the present!
Let's start with Maddie. Maddie has always been artistic, even as a child she was always an artist. When she was a child she witnessed something most children shouldn't and then she began creating haunting sculptures that were inspired by what she witnessed.
Now Nate didn't have the best of relationship with his father, his father was more on the abusive side of parenting. With that being said when Nate's father passes away he is left the family home. Oliver is like a normal awkward 15-year-old kid. Now that he is new to the area he makes a friend with a kid named Jake and while this kid doesn't seem to be on the up and up he is very daring and not in a good way.  
So they decide to move into the family home and slowly things start to get strange.
All the members of the family start having eerie and creepy experiences. But, the family tries to explain these experiences by logical reasoning. Being tired or stressed about things like that.  Now there is so much going on in this story, serial killer, time loop type of deals, to all the creepy aspects involved. I wouldn't necessarily say the book was scary but it definitely had the macabre impression throughout the whole book! This author did a superb job and I would recommend it to anyone looking for that pre-Halloween spooky tale! 
Thank you Netgally and Random House for the honor of getting to read this one!

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...
