My Review of Survive the Night by Riley Sager

Title: Survive the Night 
Author: Riley Sager 
Published: June 29, 2021
Publisher: Dutton Books/ Book of The Month 
Genre: Mystery/ Thriller 
Pages: 324 pages 
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5 
Review: 
Ok, think about carrying the guilt of leaving your roommate/best friend at a bar when you wanted to go home only to find out she was murdered by a serial killer? That is exactly how Charlie felt, she wanted to go home and Maddy wanted to stay. Fed up with Maddy's antics Charlie went home never to see Maddy again.
So Charlie is on a road trip home from college she is ready to retreat back home to her grandmother and her movies and while this alone isn't a thriller in the making. Charlie uses a rideshare board to find the ride home, and she rides with a complete stranger! Now with this stranger, Charlie has a mental issue type of thing where she zones out and sees movies in her head, and when this happens her new rideshare kind of just goes along with it.
But, like most things not all is as it seems from the outside. The rideshare isn't a complete stranger like Charlie thought and everything is not as it seems!
Now, I will admit I am a HUGE Riley Sager Fan. But this one did not do it for me. The story had soo much potential and the twist was shocking and things like that but just the whole movie's mental aspect killed it for me. I do recommend it if you are looking for a fast thriller because it is worth the read but it's not a reread type of book.

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...
