Scherm, Rebecca

Superb speculative fiction anchored by human drama, informed by genuine threats, and compellingly narrated.

This would be an excellent addition to popular collections and a good choice for reading groups. ["Scherm's debut has a plot that twists and turns, but it is the enigma of who Grace really is that will keep readers hooked until the very end," read the review of the Viking hc, LJ 11/15/14.]

Scherm's debut has a plot that twists and turns, but it is the enigma of who Grace really is that will keep readers hooked until the very end. A bleak tone, deeply flawed protagonist, and dysfunctional relationships will draw well-deserved comparisons to Gillian Flynn. [See Prepub Alert, 7/21/14.]
