Review:

I liked this one. I loved the novel's slow burn and how all the puzzle pieces slowly started to fit together and make the picture whole. 

Nora thought she had her life figured out, and even after her estranged father passed away she missed him but she was doing okay. Then when her estranged brother Sam (unknowingly to Nora) schedules a consultation with her for her designing his house he brings the news to her that he does not believe that her father fell he considers that there is a more sinister answer that he was pushed. 

Nora not wanting to believe that is what happened ends up going to her house where her father had left her where he ultimately fell to his death to try to piece everything together. As she is trying to piece everything together she comes to the same conclusion as her brother. Her father did not fall, he was pushed. Now, Sam and Nora are on the hunt to find out what was going on with their father in the months leading up to his death and what secrets he carried with him to his death. 

This is a slow-burn novel but you keep turning the pages because you know it's going and you have to figure out what happened and who did it!

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
