I’m the daughter of murdered parents.
I’m the friend of a dead girl.
I’m the lover of my enemy.
And I will have my revenge.

In the wake of the devastating destruction of the luxury yacht Persephone, just three souls remain to tell its story—and two of them are lying. Only Frances Mace knows the terrifying truth, and she’ll stop at nothing to avenge the murders of everyone she held dear. Even if it means taking down the boy she loves and possibly losing herself in the process.

Sharp and incisive, Daughter of Deep Silence by bestselling author Carrie Ryan is a deliciously smart revenge thriller that examines perceptions of identity, love, and the lengths to which one girl is willing to go when she thinks she has nothing to lose.

My Thoughts:

I have been eagerly anticipating another YA novel from Carrie Ryan since she wrapped up the The Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy. I mean, I adored The Map to Everywhere (middle grade written with her husband!) but I couldn’t wait to get my hands on something a little “older.” And my, oh, my! Did Carrie Ryan ever deliver with Daughter of Deep Silence!

This book is intense! Like, whoa. I was sucked in and couldn’t put it down until I knew what happened. It’s super twisty turn-y and I was never sure who to trust. And the narrator! Oh man, Frances has some issues. It’s totally understandable after all the trauma she went though and everything. But, yeah. She is so hooked on revenge that she couldn’t see anything else. I love it when I’m not sure if I can totally trust the person telling the story!

I really don’t want to tell you anything else because I super enjoyed trying to piece everything together (and being surprised!) I will just say that Carrie Ryan is such an incredibly talented storyteller. The way she paces this story and the structure of the narrative kept me just as riveted as the events unfolding. It’s pretty freaking amazing.

Daughter of Deep Silence is full of thrills, suspense, betrayal, revenge, and even a dash romance… what more could you want. (Hint: NOTHING!)

Giveaway:

I was lucky enough to receive a finished copy of this one. I am such a huge fan of Carrie’s books that I totally want to support this one. I will buy one lucky winner a finished copy of Daughter of Deep Silence! US only. Must be 13 or older to win.

    It sounds like a book that I’d really enjoy, I think my daughter would like it too. I like the mystery and revenge aspect.

    I love books that are a mystery for the reader, not just for the main character, and this seems to fit the bill 🙂

    A revenge thriller sounds like the perfect beach read. I loved The Forest of Hands and Teeth!
