Critics Review
Praise for The Virtue of Sin
“Shannon Schuren weaves a complex tale of love, faith, and lies in her thought-provoking debut The Virtue of Sin. As important as it is entertaining, this is a must-read for anyone who knows that independent thought trumps fitting in. One of my favorite reads of the year.” –Christina Dalcher, bestselling author of VOX “Schuren beautifully captures the breathlessness of both first love, and first rebellion, in this engrossing, timely book. Part page-turning drama, part romance, the novel is above all an exploration of the ways repression can damage the soul–and what it takes to rise above it.” –Jennifer Donaldson, critically acclaimed author of Lies You Never Told Me
“Compulsively readable.” –BCCB
