Review: 
Loved it!!! This was very unique and I loved the whole aspect of everything!
This was a wild ride with all the magical elements that you love in a great fantasy book along with the murder mystery you crave! Soo Maya has this incredible gift of painting, and while that alone is a great gift but her paintings are soo much more! Maya's paintings have a way of coming alive, and while this is an amazing gift. If knowledge to the wrong people of her abilities it would definitely cause an upstir for people wanting to use her gift for power.
Now, this is where things get messy. Maya teams up with the governor's son and the governor's wife finds out her gift and basically blackmails her into painting her deceased son. To bring him back to life or the Governor's wife will expose her for everything she can do. While if Maya was only worried about herself this threat may not have done all it did but because Maya is taking care of her sickly sister because her parents disappeared Maya had to try to complete the painting or risk exposure of her gift! The setting and plot of this book were amazing! I loved the whole fantasy aspect mixed with the mystery, that was something unique and I loved it! Definitely an author I should check out to see if she has more books! If you loved the Jack the Ripper series then this is something right up your alley! Thank you Netgalley and  Inkyard Press for the extraordinary opportunity to read and review this 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 I hated and that is soo hard to read ab
