What Are They Saying?

Unputdownable is not a word I use lightly. But I’m using it for this book.
Roz MacLaren Goodreads Review
This superbly-crafted book can best be described as “a ghoulish tale without any ghouls.” It dives deep into the frightening reality that is social media, the internet, the media itself, gossip, and high school dynamics all intermixed. It also highlights that trust is a sacred concept — but you need to be prudent as to whom you give it.
Cynthia BrubakerGoodreads Review
I honestly have so many good things to say about this book. The authors passion is clearly seen in the language that she uses and her descriptions of events are so vivid you’re literally right there…
KimmiGoodreads Review
The biggest plot twist – I definitely did not see that one coming. I nearly dropped my phone while reading that one sentence.

About the Author

Renée Shantel started writing at the age of eleven, for no better reason than she was tired of waiting for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to be released. She has entertained dreams of being published ever since. She has taken several short courses in creative writing, book editing and publishing, and managed to have her first short story published in May, 2017.

When not writing, she can be found shooting analogue photography, casually learning to play the violin, or smothering her cats with love.

Technically I haven’t finished all four of the books in this series yet, but I’m halfway through the second and already know I’m going to love the rest.

I loved Brindi’s COME TRUE series, but…I think I might love this series more?

Welcome to a world of queens and their dashing, devilish knights. A world of goddesses and magic. A world of sisterhood and loyalty.

I went into the first book completely blind, knowing that if Brindi was writing it, I was going to love it, and I wasn’t disappointed. Queen Merrin is such a fun character to follow! She never had a dull moment, she had me laughing out loud, and unlike a lot of protagonists who make some stupid decisions in the name of love, I was right there with her the whole time. Queen or not, this woman is determined to find her best friend, Queen Beau, even if it means travelling into uncharted territory with only her three favourite guards to watch her back. And what characters they are, too!

If you like your fantasy with a side of slow burn, you definitely want to pick this one up. As a bonus, go check out some of the art on Brindi’s page to get you into the zone!

I finally got back to work on project: wisteria th I finally got back to work on project: wisteria this past weekend, so I thought I’d reshare this fan cast from way back in MiTiWriMo. Inspired by a certain @cb.novelist obsessing over a certain Mr Abel’s voice. 😉

I’m not great with casting my ladies, but I know exactly who my men are.
