Summary
The Swarm is unrecognizable, untraceable, and unpredictable—random attacks on the streets of Chicago by a mob of crazed teens that leaves death in its wake. It’s been two years since the last attack, but Lia Finch has found clues that reveal the Swarm is ready to claim a new victim.
Lia is the only one still pursuing her father’s killers, two years after attorney Steven Finch’s murder by the Swarm. Devastated and desperate for answers, Lia will do anything to uncover the reasons behind his death and to stop someone else from being struck down. But due to debilitating asthma and PTSD that leaves her with a tenuous hold on reality, Lia is the last person to mount a crusade on her own.
After a close encounter with the Swarm puts Lia on their radar, she teams up with a teen hacker, a reporter, and a mysterious stranger who knows firsthand how the mob works. Together, they work to uncover the master puppeteer behind the group. Though if Lia and her network don’t stop the person pulling the strings—and fast—Lia may end up the next target.
Guest Post: Tips in Recognizing the "Swarm"
- The Swarm attacks in crowded, public spaces.
- The average age of its participants ranges from 15 to 21.
- Be suspicious of teens wearing heavily concealing clothing. This might include but is not limited to hats, hoodies, scarves, gloves, sunglasses.
- Be suspicious of teens who seem to be alone, especially if you can spot several of them scattered throughout the crowd.
- Be suspicious of teens constantly checking their cell phones like they are waiting for a signal.
- If you start to hear or see dozens of cell phones going off at once, run.

When I think of a swarm I think of bees, so I wanted to include them in this. I also wanted to include an eeriness among strangers and crowds in the city, that I felt matched this book, and particularly the "Swarm." Then there's Lia who is investigating her attorney father's murder, and mention of a reporter, a hacker, and a mysterious stranger. I hope you get a feel of all of this in the moodboard. To find the original pictures as well as more that aren't included here, check out my Pinterest board here.
