Renée Shantel

indie author & unashamed daydreamer

AVAILABLE NOW

Rockstar Zachary Bennett has just learned he is father to fifteen-year-old twins Lysander and Dakota. As if that isn’t already complicated enough, they’ve just lost their mother, Dakota is missing, and Lysander is none too pleased about having to leave his home – and his sister – behind in favour of moving to California. Zack is determined to prove that he can be the father these kids need, but dealing with a boy who feels that he’s lost his entire world was never going to be easy.

Lysander Maverick never cared much for getting to know his father – that was always Dakota’s dream. But now Dakota is gone, taken by her mobster-wannabe ex-boyfriend, and Zack just might be the key to having her returned safely. This thought is the only thing Lysander has to hold onto as he’s uprooted from his home in Wisconsin, and he’s not letting it go. He needs Zack to be the miracle he’s been asking for, because the alternative is too unbearable to consider.

This book seriously had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t put it down. I wanted to know what happened next. If you’re looking for a page turner, a book to bury your nose in for the afternoon look no further than the fabulous Renée Shantel and her novel Lost.

I absolutely loved this book! The plot and characters were compelling and interesting, and it was well-written overall.

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.

——
Sometimes you don’t have to choose.

Recent college graduate Sorcha lands a bartending position at the ritzy Lover’s Lane Hotel and Spa along the Vancouver Island coast, and anticipates an autumn filled with late morning runs on the beach, drinking fancy wine, and rubbing shoulders with some of Canada’s business elite. Focused on making enough money to pay back her expensive student loans, Sorcha definitely doesn’t intend to fall for someone, especially not her attractive boss, Kieran, or Liam, Kieran’s best friend.

However, as the tourist season draws to a close, Sorcha’s no longer able to deny the way she feels about the two men, and it isn’t long before she accidentally uncovers something affecting both Kieran and Liam—they’re wolf shifters with complicated connections. Forced into a world of fated matches and addressing history she thought she had left far behind, Sorcha can only fight the moonlight for so long before she must come to terms with her past… and learn to live for the future.

first line Friday? I don’t usually like to shar first line Friday?

I don’t usually like to share much when my manuscript isn’t completed, but it’s been a terrible week. And what better time to start putting myself out there?

So here’s my (current) opening line to my upcoming teen crime novel IN THE DAYS BEFORE.

——
Audrey Herringbone’s friends don’t agree with the subject matter of her YouTube series, In the Days Befofe. They think talking about missing persons is too morbid a topic, and insist she would find more fame as a beauty blogger or Instagram model. They don’t agree that her work is important. Who wants to talk about the missing when you could talk about fashion? For them, it’s a no-brainer.

Then Audrey’s best friend goes missing, several hours after they publicly argue about her channel, and Audrey becomes the public’s number one suspect.

Thrust head first into one of her channel’s narratives, Audrey’s about to learn that sometimes the obvious answer isn’t the right one — and you can never be too careful who you trust.
