Review: 

Wow! This one snuck up on me! I did not realize that this was a part of a series, but now I have a new series to start with in 2023! Stevie's boyfriend is studying abroad, and like most young adults, she misses him terribly. This leads up to her boyfriend suggesting she study abroad with her friends.
This suggestion does not strike me as abnormal because many dreams of visiting other countries. However, her school teacher is not at all convinced that this is something Stevie should be doing because it seems she finds trouble wherever she goes. However, she and her group of friends are allowed to go with conditions, and they agree! 
While in London, one of her boyfriend David's friends asks her for aid in a case involving her aunt. Nine people went to the countryside, and only some returned. In comparison, there are many different possibilities that this could have been a burglary gone wrong, or it could have been maybe the survivors know more than they are saying. I loved the characters! The characters are all well thought out, and the background stories of each of the characters are amazing! I loved Stevie and her curiosity! I enjoyed all the twists and turns of the story! While I have not read the other books in the series, and I soon will, this story was easy to follow without knowing the characters' backgrounds!  If you love an excellent cold-case mystery and the fun quirkiness of a good mystery, then this should be your next read! I loved that the story was a mystery and had some fun aspects! Thank you, Harper Collins Children's Books and Netgalley, 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...
