Review: 

This was a good afternoon read for me! The formatting and the way the story was written was enticing! I loved how the characters were each telling different aspects of the story and you are piecing the puzzle of what really happened on this trip! 
Maylee and her four friends are on a camping trip and Maylee disappears. Her four friends suspect foul play right off the bat and when the police separate them and get them to each tell them what happened that night each has a different story. It seems like each of the characters has some form of motive for Maylee disappearing. It was really innovative the way the author wrote this story, each chapter was a question in the interrogation and included each of the character's answers to that question. That was really neat. The characters were dynamic including one character who was obsessed with the possibility of seeing Big Foot and another character having the control aspect. 
Now here comes what I did not like. I did not like that it seemed like the story lacked substance, like what adult mystery books contain and it seemed like it would be more enjoyed by young adults. I usually read both adult fiction and young adult fiction and this story just didn't do it for me in that aspect. However, it is intriguingly addictive towards the end and you are glued to your Kindle to find out what happened. The shocking twist at the end was kinda crazy! Innovative and different which is definitely a plus! I would definitively recommend it to more Young Adult readers but still a good story. Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the 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...
