Renée Shantel – indie author & unashamed daydreamer

LATEST RELEASE

Audrey Herringbone’s main focus has always been her YouTube channel dedicated to helping find missing persons, but when her best friend is the one to go missing things start getting a little too real.

Audrey’s friends don’t agree with the subject matter of her video series, In the Days Before. They think talking about missing persons is too morbid a topic, and insist she would find more fame as a beauty blogger. 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.

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.
