Eighteen year old Claire Summers has a rare gift she must keep secret, she's a Breather. When she touches an object someone else has touched, she sees that person’s memories. When she stumbles across a memory of her friend in danger, she'll do anything to help rescue him. The problem is, her secret will be revealed. If the wrong people find out about her ability, they’ll hunt her, because Breathers are powerful weapons.
S. D. Grimm’s first love in writing is young adult fantasy and science fiction, which is to be expected from someone who looks up to heroes like Captain America and Wonder Woman, has been sorted into Gryffindor, identifies as rebel scum, and loves elevensies as much as afternoon tea. Her patronus is a red Voltron lion, her spirit animal is Toothless, and she totally has a superpower. She is represented by Julie Gwinn of the Seymour Agency, her office is anywhere she can curl up with her laptop and at least one large-sized dog, and you can learn more about her upcoming novels at www.sdgrimm.com
What if you awoke in the middle of a dream to the realization you weren’t dreaming? That’s exactly what happened to Claire. And when her eyes were wide open, the nightmare really kicked in.
S.D. Grimm brings readers into the world of Breathless where some Gifted teens like Claire are Breathers. They can merely touch an object to unlock a thousand memories. Other Gifted include Trackers—can find anyone including people with abilities, and Halos—can make people believe things that aren’t true (like politicians). A secret government organization known as the Agency is hunting these gifted people to use for military purposes, and a few Gifted are rebelling.
Breathless is a fun sci-fi love story that will keep readers turning pages until its suspenseful conclusion.
