Thriller Novel Pretty Things written by author Janelle Brown

  • Author, Janelle Brown has penned an intricate story that kept me on the edge!

Pretty Things is an engrossing page-turner novel for me! Normally, I choose an audiobook version of a novel so I can listen and fall asleep. I usually set the sleep timer on  fifteen or thirty minutes. How did that work out for me with Pretty Things? Quite frankly, it did not work out at all. On the contrary, Pretty Things kept me awake!

 But, right now I invite you to relax and enjoy my book review of: Pretty Things, it’s a thriller novel written by Janelle Brown.

 

Book Review: (00:48)

 Pretty Things was an engrossing page-turner novel for me! Well, I say page turner, but actually I listened to the audiobook version of this book. Normally, I choose an audiobook version of a novel so I can listen and fall asleep. I usually set the sleep timer on  fifteen or thirty minutes. How did that work out for me with Pretty Things? Quite frankly, it did not work out at all. On the contrary, Pretty Things kept me awake! 

 

Book Review: (01:19)

Pretty Things takes place in present day time. The character of Vanessa is not only an heiress from a wealthy family, but she is also an online influencer as well. Vanessa is extremely popular. And to prove it, she has a gazillion followers, just as any good influencer should. Vanessa feels like she is on the top of the world. But even grand influencers need a little downtime. What could go wrong by just taking a rest? We will soon find out when a couple of wily grifters turn their attention on Vanessa.

If my story helps others get started podcasting as fast and as easy as I did, well that’s just wonderful. 

 Here’s my story in a nut shell. I did a little research on how to start a podcast. I came across Buzzsprout.com. Buzzsprout has an amazingly easy interface! I quickly found everything I needed to upload my audio recordings. And within a very short period of time, I found my podcast listed in major podcast directories. Now, I’m having fun turning my book reviews into podcasts.

Book Review: (03:04)       

Okay, well we left off where a couple of wily grifters turned their attention on Vanessa. Author, Janelle Brown has penned an intricate story that kept me on the edge! I just had to know what would happen next, and to whom?  After a while, I began to think that maybe not every character is who they seem to be. I kept speculating about which characters are actually who they say they are.

 

Book Review: (03:30)

 Something dangerous would happen to one of the characters and I found myself thinking, What? How could this happen to this character? And since it did happen to this particular character, which one of the other characters was the perpetrator of the treacherous action? This nearly constant state of doubt kept me listening with rapt attention. Just what kind of deceit is going on here? Pretty Things relentlessly kept me on the edge wondering just how this story would end. And to my way of thinking, that is just what a great thriller story should do.
