Review Detail

“There’s no better feeling than the deliciousness of a well-crafted plan executed perfectly.”

Actually, it's more like: 'There’s no better feeling than reading a well-crafted story that is so good, it takes your breath away'. This is the feeling one might get whilst reading the brilliance that was Daughter of Deep Silence.

What I Loved:
This book is an absolute page-turner. The writing grips you from the first line, to the last page, and keeps you on the edge of your seat steadily throughout.

Daughter of Deep Silence is comprised of all the nitty gritty that you’d come to expect with a dark and twisted tale of vengeance. There are plot twists that will leave your head spinning, and your heart racing.

“And in that moment, staring at myself, despising myself, wishing myself dead, one word began glowing in the back of my mind. The only brightness in the black I’d plunge myself into.
Truth.
Another, darker word followed quickly after.
Revenge. “

This story was driven by the intensity of Frances’ (the female protagonist) relentless search for justice. She has a score to settle, and she is willing to do whatever it takes to exact revenge. She’s strong, she’s captivating, she’s fearless and daring—she is the lifeblood of this book.

“I am nothing except this: a girl reborn of the deep ocean silence, meant for nothing but vengeance.”

Frances is the type of character that leaps right off the page to haunt your dreams at night.

“It’s funny, most people think that revenge is a passionate affair, driven by rage and pain. But it can’t be. Feelings such as these make you weak. They overwrite thought and cause reckless impulses that lead to poor decisions.
If anything, revenge is the absence of emotion. It’s pure, calculated thought stripped bare of entangling emotions. It’s cold, deliberate action.”

What Left Me Wanting More:
The last page. Though this story was jam-packed with danger, drama, and intrigue, the ending left me frantically searching for more words. That’s not to say the ending is not satisfying; you’ll find that you’re not ready for it to end.

Final Verdict:
Daughter of Deep Silence will thrill you, enthrall you, and leave you with some serious trust issues. The plot packs a serious punch, and this is story-telling at it’s finest.

(This would be a perfect read for fans of Sara Shepherd’s Pretty Little Liars.)
