Review:

I enjoyed this one! I liked that it wasn't so cut and dry as many mysteries are now. This one had many different suspects with several different motives. 

Fiona was found dead last summer at the bottom of a ravine close to her home. While the police investigated they ruled her death as an accident. Her sister Addie doesn't believe that it was an accident, she thinks that her sister's privileged boyfriend Thatcher Montgomery killed her in rage after they argued. Everyone that would listen including the police Addie would tell them several times that Thatcher was guilty, but nothing came about it. However, his cousin Seth is a complication for Addie. The night that her sister died Addie was cheating on her boyfriend with Seth and losing her virginity, and she carries the guilt for that night and her sister's death. Addie then does not talk or call Seth for the rest of the year because of her guilt. 

When this summer comes around Addie tries to avoid Seth however he wants to talk to her and reluctantly she agrees but, she has alterior motives she wants to question Seth about her sister's death and if Thatcher ever told him anything. The only problem while they were talking they heard a yell and soon they found Thatcher's body, he had been murdered as well. 

Soon Seth and Addie are both questioned and suspected by the Police, and they decide to investigate together to find out who really killed Fiona and Thatcher. As they spend more time together their feelings start to grow and secrets start slipping out in the investigation Addie realizes that she does not know everyone as well as she thought that she did and someone wants to kill them to make sure their secrets stay a secret! You should check this one out it's so good! Thank you Netgalley and Penguin Group for young readers/Nancy Paulsen Books for the opportunity to read and review this one!

My Review of Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones

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
