Genre: Mystery/ Thriller 
Pages: 288 pages 
Rating: 5⭐
Review: 
A father with a secret and his daughter living in the remote Appalachian Mountains, no electricity, no family, and basically no connection to the outside world.
When Cooper's friend, Jake does not show up to give them supplies as he has previously in the years that they had been up there. With this action, a chain of events happens to change their safe haven and a stranger appears on their land.
This is a powerful novel and definitely shows the importance of a father and daughter relationship. I loved that the descriptions were completely on point! The area was described soo well I could visualize it! The fiery love that the father has for his daughter is amazing, and while since the beginning we knew that the day of wrecking is going to come for Cooper and that is what feels like a hand squeezing your heart while reading this book. This is definitely a book that you will need a box or maybe even a pallet of tissues to get through this book, and that's not a bad thing. There are many things that Cooper regrets during his military days, but saving Jake and having his daughter were not one of them. I dived into this book and I couldn't put it down! This is definitely an instant favorite! If you love thrillers with fierce emotions and protectiveness then this would definitely be the book for you! Thank you Netgalley, Minotaur Books and the author for the supreme honor of reading this one and the story is still on my mind days later!

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...
