Free Audiobook : Pretty Things, by Janelle Brown

Nina had once believed that her prestigious liberal arts degree would lead to a fulfilling career. However, when that dream shattered, she turned to a life of stealing from wealthy individuals in Los Angeles, aided by her cunning Irish boyfriend, Lachlan. Nina had learned from the best - her mother, the original con artist who hustled to provide her daughter with a decent childhood despite their tumultuous existence. But when her mother falls ill, Nina risks everything to help her, even if it means embarking on her most audacious and perilous scam to date.

Vanessa, on the other hand, is a privileged young heiress who had aspired to make a meaningful impact on the world. Instead, she finds herself caught in the world of Instagram influence, traveling the globe, receiving free merchandise, and posing for photos in exotic locations. Yet, beneath the façade of enviable glamour lies a life marked by tragedy. After a broken engagement, Vanessa retreats to her family's vast mountain estate, Stonehaven, which harbors not only dark secrets from Vanessa's past but also those of a lost and troubled girl named Nina.

In the cold embrace of Lake Tahoe's shores, Nina, Vanessa, and Lachlan's paths converge, intertwining their lives in a winter filled with ambition and desire, deception and retribution.

This mesmerizing and intricately plotted novel showcases the exceptional talent of acclaimed author Janelle Brown, as two brilliant yet damaged women strive to survive the greatest game of deceit and destruction they have ever played.
