Review:

Wow! 🤯 A mind-blowing mystery and a family conspiracy that haunts a family! 

Teddy and Jess seem to have it all. They have the wealth, a campaign for the Senate for Teddy, and the complete team behind them. However, Clara is a bit of a bigger eyesore for the family. Jess and Clara have been friends since grade school. Clara has a wealthy social life and Jess is a poverty child who lives with her single mother, who cleans hotel rooms for a living. 

As life goes on, Clara has an eating disorder and receives help for it, but Jess and Teddy bond over their love for Clara and eventually start dating and get married. For Jess, it's like a classic rags to riches type of story and for Teddy, it is a married-for-love, not money type of story that is very appealing to voters. Someone released a sex video of Clara while they were on the highway to Washington, beginning the voters' disapproval. Clara's embarrassment stems from her lack of memory concerning the video. She discusses this with Jess and while Jess keeps the secret for Clara until she is ready to tell Teddy this causes issues when Teddy finds this out, as if her keeping the secret has Jess picking Clara over Teddy. Then, on top of this issue,e there is a conspiracy of bad luck following the family following several generations with untimely gruesome deaths of different family members. Unfortunately, the release of 3 more videos created numerous additional problems for the campaign. 

I read the ebook first, then I listened to the audiobook, and both were thrilling and enticing! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and each event led to another, finally culminating in a grand revelation. The audiobook narrator fit the story and was captivating. And it was a truly remarkable performance that was thrilling and enticing! I recommend the audiobook to anyone who loves a good spooky mystery thriller book! Thank you, Macmillan, Farrar Straus Giroux, and Netgalley for this opportunity and this was a thrilling experience!

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...
