Review:

I enjoyed this one! 

Cordelia was a woman who was having an affair with her boss, and she worked her job and lived alone. She also died alone in her bathtub, where she was found with prescription drugs and alcohol in her system so they ruled her death as a suicide. 

Ruby is a young woman who moved to get a new start after leaving a bad relationship. She just happened to move into Cordelia's old apartment and unknowingly has a ghostly roommate. 

Cordelia is beside the body on the sidewalk waiting for him to wake up his ghostly self but when he does he ends up not believing in the ghost and disappears. 

However, Cordelia and Ruby team up together to try to solve the murder and it seems the deeper they get into solving the mystery the more danger they end up in. Not only teaming up to solve the murder Cordelia is determined to help Ruby. She helps Ruby find a job and start a new life! 

If you enjoy paranormal aspect cozy mysteries then this should be your next read! I enjoyed this one absolutely and the mystery was intriguing and a hoot!

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...
