Review:

I certainly enjoyed the who aspect of this book! Sadie, after losing her best friend in a hit-and-run accident while riding her bike, decided to change her life and live it. She quit her job, sold her furniture and everything, and moved to France to buy a French bicycling company. 

She begins to feel the pressure of this decision when her friends and ex-boss from Chicago come to try out her 9-day tour. 

At first, the beginning begins with a slow start when her ex-boss drags his feet because he is working from the hotel by using the wifi when Sadie vows that he will enjoy this trip. However, it soon becomes evident to her that he only came to try to convince her to return to work for him because she was talented at accounting. However, more quickly things start taking a turn for the unexpected Dom, her ex-boss, is found dead and the detective suspects foul play. As Sadie tries to continue the tour another murder happens and the detective joins the group to keep an eye on them. To save her new business Sadie must help find out who is murdering people on her tour and who is vandalizing her business and if they are connected! 

This was an amazing installment in a new cozy mystery series and it is really exciting! I liked that it varied and was more original than many of the cozy mystery series I have read before this; the story was engaging and kept me on my toes! I am very enthusiastic about the next installment! I would like to thank Netgalley and Kensington Books for the exciting 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 I hated and that is soo hard to read ab
