Review:

"Life is a fairytale that rarely hands out happy endings. Life is beautiful ugly, my wife taught me that" 

Wow! 

This book will have you gripping the edge of your seat until the end! 

Grady is waiting for a phone call, but he wants his wife to be with him when he receives this phone call but unfortunately, she was running late. When he finally does receive the phone call from his Agent he is elated and having trouble believing he is a New York Times best-seller author! After the phone call, he calls his wife once again, she's almost home but stops on the side of the road because a woman is on the road. However, that was the last time he heard from her so the best day of his life quickly turned to the worst. Even after a year, they are still not any closer to finding out what happened to her. Grady can no longer write and struggles with everything even his housing situation. 

Then Kitty his agent offers him a cottage in Scotland for three months to try and write a novel, and he agrees because he has no other choices. 

Once he arrives at the cottage and the island he thinks it's beautiful. He then finds a manuscript and decides to read he loves it and had originally thought about turning that book into Kitty to publish but he doesn't and then strange things start to happen. He is convinced he is seeing his wife who disappeared a year ago and then he thinks someone is in the house moving things around and such. There is just something that is off and Grady can't quite put his finger on it! The twists and turns of this story keep you guessing until the very end! I listened to the audiobook and even while the MC is an unrelatable character the audiobook was amazing and I was on the edge of my seat I loved it! The narrator was amazing and his tone fit the story! Thank you Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for the extraordinary opportunity to listen and review this one! It was an adventure!

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.

I know I would not want to share my spouse with another person. The whole child abuse and sexual abuse...
