This Vicious Grace is a debut novel that in no way reads like a debut. Emily Thiede’s novel is another one I urge you to read as soon as you possibly can. First, the premise alone, a woman whose mere touch is fatal and who has had three husbands and three funerals for those husbands, is funny. Granted, it is also tragic, but Ms. Thiede instills humor to lighten the tragedy of Alessa’s life. There is plenty of low-grade spice added to the mix, along with plenty of action and betrayal. Again, I know I am not doing it justice in the slightest. Just know I don’t rave about books that often, so if I am willing to rave about this one, do yourself a favor and read it!
