Review:

I've always had a soft spot for cozy mysteries and this one is no exception! This is a new to me author along with a BRAND NEW SERIES! So Hannah returns to her hometown to renovate and open an inn with her sister Reggie. Her main goal was to give the Victorian home a new life. While trying to tackle this feat Reggie is always in the middle of everything making sure that she is on budget and having to deal with all the people she left behind 15 years ago however throughout this whole process she finds an unlikely friend with an 80-year-old man Ezra. 

Then one day Hannah finds Ezra's body in a questionable situation and she makes it her mission to find out who killed Ezra and why. As she slowly starts to investigate she finds out that she is the sole heir to everything that he has including a house full of stuff and a large bank account. However, his family members are circling the house and looking for the will and finding out who he left everything to like sharks! Then slowly as she's trying to understand Ezra she feels like she does not know him at all secrets start to come out about Ezra's past and situations that would have given more people a motive to murder him. Will Hannah find out what happened to Ezra before they get to her? You should check this book out to find out! 

I loved the quirkiness and the spunk of Hannah and Moose! I also adored that it wasn't just one culprit of whodunit there were several who could have and several who would have had the motivation to murder him! This was a fantastic start to this new series and I can't wait until the next one comes out and we get to see more of Hannah's adventures! Thank you Crooked Lane 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...
