Review:

I loved it! While I feel like this book connected several things, I have questions. 

I am absolutely in love with this series, but Xaden broke my heart in Iron Flame, and looking forward to this one, I thought there would be a cure, but there was nothing. There was no hope. 

I loved how Violet grew into her leadership in this book like she took charge and Xaden had to take a step back. 

There was some confusion with all the different places and then what Xaden's mother's husband did to them is absolutely unforgivable! They still prevailed! 

This is full of action, secrets, more dragons, and how they find out what happened and what Violet's father wanted her to know. 

The books that her father left her and how she had to figure out the whole deal to open the books because they were for her. I liked that, and it felt like we had a connection to her father that we never got to see and we also got to see that it was not just her mother that had secrets. Her father had secrets as well. I liked how this book created those connections, but the ending devastated me. I have to know what happened before she woke up. What happened in those 12 hours!!!! 

Now, I sit on the cliffhanger and with the next installment scheduled towards the end of 2026, I am not sure that I am going to be okay with holding onto that cliff for that long! This one did not have all the action of The Fourth WIng but I loved all the perspectives and connections made in 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...
