Publisher's summary

Before I was discarded for the final time on the doorstep of this place, I had been treated as a hand-me-down. A pushover that no one wanted and needed to get rid of, but I was happier then. The rules were never as strict, the punishments nowhere near as brutal, and no unkind word was ever spoken to me above a whisper. Things changed after I felt the cane for the first time.

Spare the rod and spoil the child extends far greater than anyone can know inside the walls of Our Lady of Heavenly Hope - a place where no such thing exists, and if it does, it died inside of me such a long time ago that I can't remember what it feels like.

The halls have gone silent lately, and I like it best this way. I'll learn to be kind again and I'll bestow it on the person that needs it the most. And in the end, everything will be okay.

Holy Goodness!

When I first read Nefarious, I thought then that Yolanda Olson could not blow me away more than she had with this book.
I digress. This audiobook of Nefarious is by far the creepiest sh** I have ever listened to.
Bravo! Ahhhmazing! Truly! The narrator brought Pally to life in a way you connected with her. Felt almost oddly in sync with her. I definitely need more from this author and this narrator.

At your own risk.

I love it when the author begins with a warning. (No regrets!!!)
‼Spoilers‼
‼Warning for disturbing content.‼
Ooohkay, using a dead sparrow and other parts to masturbate with is where I draw the line and just ew. Psychotic nun cam-girl is an interesting type of case study. Hope Reed gets tested but doubt it.

holy moly

I've read this book before listening to it on audible. good gravy I didn't think it could be anymore creepier than when I read it, but listening to this narrator talk as the main character gave me chills. she was great. I'm a big fan of this author already and if your looking for shockingly horrific horror then look no more. just be warned this isn't a happy ending to this and most of her stories.

Even better than reading the first time!

I absolutely LOVED this dark and depraved story! Yolanda Olson knows what she is doing when she decides to write a messed up story. And this was one messed up Nun LET ME TELL YOU. When reading the book, you could feel her pain and suffering in the words of the story, but while listening to the audio you could HEAR it in the narration. The narrator did a fantastic job playing the part os sister Paloma AND Reed. 5 sinister stars.

So Amazing

I loved reading this story but listening to it was so much better 🖤
The narrator was simply perfect and made the story that much creepier
Made sitting at home with a storm outside the best day ever 🖤🖤

Save a prayer for me

nefarious

When the author warns you that this is her darkest book to date; then take that warning with a glass of holy water, because you're going to need it.

This book is heavy, twisted and pitch black dark. To the hundredth power dark!! So, proceed with caution. This short and wicked story will have you reciting a prayer in no time to what the unsaintly Sister Paloma Grace has in mind for her redemption.

I listened and read along to the audiobook of Nefarious. While the narrator wasn't my favorite, she still kept me entertained throughout the entirety of the story.

Horrible

I was wracked with guilt at listening to this piece of trash. The author is trying too hard to blaspheme, and it comes across as contrived. I mean, blowing a crucifix? Don’t bother.
