Review: 

This was the first of her books that I've ever read! I have some of her books on my shelves I just never really got to them but man oh man am I going to check them out now! This book was literally one that I just couldn't put down!
During the COVID-19 pandemic Leigh Collier
Leigh Collier is a defense attorney in Atlanta. She is a very successful lawyer, and life is as good as it can be expected. She is separated from her husband, Walter, and has a beautiful daughter Maddy. So one night, Leigh is at a school event for Maddy when her boss calls her and says that a high-profile client has requested her and that she needed to get to the office.
When Leigh gets to the office and meets her client, she realizes that there is definitely a reason why he requested her. He knows her and knows what she and her sister did 20 years ago, a devastating secret that she spent years trying to forget.
Not only does she have to defend her client against the rape allegations she also has to make sure that he does not lose his case or else he will release videos that will ruin her sister's life and will ruin her family's life as well.
Now her client Andrew is basically a sociopath and he is a rapist and murderer.
Callie is  Leigh's younger sister but she is also a druggie from the street. However, while Leigh is more trying to keep Andrew happy and keep him from releasing the videos. Callie is messing around with Andrew's new wife giving her drugs and things like that until his wife starts playing the videos. Things keep getting twisted more and more but, the twist keeps coming until the very end!
Wow! I loved this book! This thriller is definitely a page-turner, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. This was such a great book! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a great thriller! Thank you, NetGalley, William Morrow Books, and Blackstone Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this one!

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...
