Review:

This is the first book I've read by this author, and it was insane! Grabbing you from the start with a mysterious event, Meg needs to apologize for an incident with another student where she pushed her off a bridge and was suspended from her art school. Meg intends to apologize at a Halloween Party she was invited to with her friend and her estranged crush. 

When she arrives at the estate where the party is at the house and the estate is haunting and gothic, Wren Hall seems to have a haunted history. Then when she enters the house with Lottie she finds out that all the mirrors are covered and the weed-choked lake is the image of nightmares and urban legends. 

Once the party arrives and all the friends arrive the whole atmosphere is awkward and then they start having the party Laure arrives and Meg apologizes and when she does Laure says she will forgive her but that she has to tell the whole truth about what happened. Then the next day Laure disappears and strange experiences start happening around the house. Wren Hall has secrets and so do the people that are at the party, some secrets are worth dying for. This was an interesting read! It was worth the read and it's spooky and an eerie mystery as well! Very well written. 

Thank you Netgalley and Delacorte Press for the 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...
