Review:

Not what I was expecting, but an interesting read that I finished in the afternoon because I had to know what happened! Every chapter has action and the pages ALMOST turn themselves because you are so engrossed in the story! Raff washes up on the shore and Dominic and his children take care of her, originally Dominic thought that she was going to die from her injuries but she pulls through! (Our girl is a fighter!) She remains guarded with her heart and feelings while living on the island and while everyone cares for her. While the island is falling apart, Dominic is a single father and his children are his world, but they have fallen apart in the past years and he is struggling to help bring them together again. Raff slowly starts to suspect that they know what happened to her estranged husband working on the island on a job, but everyone is tight-lipped about the secrets. 

This is one of those books that you have to check out the audiobook! The audiobook was thrilling and kept me on the edge of my seat! The narrators were perfect for this story as they really brought the story to life and I could visualize the atmosphere and all of the tension and the love as well! This is one of those stories that doesn't sound like it will grab your attention, but it will! You will be on the edge of your seat wondering what the next action will be! However, be warned: This story will keep you on the edge of your seat, but it will also make you angry enough to want to erase a character, and it will make you cry! Not just a few tears but big tears. 

Thank you, Netgalley and Macmillan Audio, for the emotional rollercoaster listen and for allowing me to do so! I went on a wild ride and experienced so many emotions in one afternoon!

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...
