Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

Review: 

Do you know those books that once you start them you have to literally stop everything that you are doing to get to the bottom of the story? This is definitely one of them. In contrast, the beginning slowly builds up the anticipation of what is happening and going on.
It's a girl's weekend for the bride and while it should be filled with lots of alcohol and a good time something along the way goes terribly wrong. Lexi decides that she wants to go to a remote villa instead of the limelight party type of girl's weekend. Bella sets up the weekend with the help of Fen. This is a group of very different girls and all of them have their very own secrets, and the different twists the author throws in will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I do not want to give too much away but this is one that as the secrets start revealing you will the crumbling of their friendships and the group as a whole. One of those secrets may be worth murder.....
This is the first I've read by this author and it will not be the last one either! I rated the book 4 stars because there were parts of the book that were a bit slower than I would have preferred and there were some of the more detailed aspects in some chapters that could have been cut but overall this is a must-read book that you will definitely enjoy! Thank you to Netgalley and G.P. Putnam's Sons for the extraordinary 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...
