Hello
everyone! So yesterday was a bit of a
bust for keeping on tract. My mother
came by before my eye appointment to get technical assistance for her Kindle
and then me being completely spacey forgot what they do at most eye
appointments…dilate your eyes. I have
some issues with this in it just makes me nap because everything is too bright
for several hours after. Thus I couldn’t
stand to look at my screen to post; and just left my wonderful flash drive with
my reviews at home today. Holiday brain
is what I’m calling it. I hope you all
are finished or at least in the home stretch and getting ready to just sit back
and enjoy the rest. I have everything
finished but my loads of baking I’ll be doing Monday/Tuesday. But I love to bake as much as I love to read
so should be fun. Back to bookish
matters though I have for you today my thoughts and feels on Daughter of DeepSilence by Carrie Ryan.

This
is a story of revenge. Plan and
simple. Our main character lost
everything when the Persephone was attacked.
Everyone was killed and the ship sank.
Only three survivors to tell the tale and two of them are lying. Only Frances knows the real truth and she
will stop at nothing until the murders of her family and everyone else on that
ship are made to pay. Even if she has to
take down the first, the only, boy she’s every loved to do it.
I
really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed
Frances and her story. She has turned
herself into someone else for four years.
She let her old self die on that ship and became Libby. This was so heartbreaking to be because not
only did she go through so much to that point but she then lost everything else
that was hers including her ability to really mourn for her family or to
remember old times with others. I just wanted
her to find out her truth. I wanted to
know what and why it all happened as much as she did. It was a page turner for me for sure. I was always disappointed to reach the daily
goal (week read-along) and put it down. This is probably why I finished it a
few days early.
Aside
from Frances and her journey I also found myself really feeling for
Shepherd. He was royally screwed in it
all. Everyone is really going through
something. The depth of the characters
emotions really came off the page for me and I was constantly torn between my
feelings for several of the characters.
Even Grey, who we know has been lying this whole time, seems to be really
messed up over it which gives you the feels.
Still Frances most of all in the whole mess for so many reasons I can’t
fully explain without ruining things. I seriously found myself downing my glass of water while reading this book because hearing of that thirst made me thirsty.
Basically
this book is one big take of page turning vengeful fun. I really enjoyed the ABC show Revenge, some
seasons more than others, and this took me back to the best parts about
it. Also his name was Grey haha. The plot kept me going trying to figure it
all out and how I wanted it to end because as a reader I was invested and I had
my own thoughts and visions for the end game and it changed each and every time
something new came into play. I was
caught up in it all and loving every minute.
I
really enjoy a good story of revenge and really got behind this one. I would recommend it to pretty much
anyone. It plays with more than revenge
but with pain, identity, love, loss and the search for the truth. I would love to hear your thoughts on the
book or the plot. What do you think of
revenge as a whole? Share your thoughts
below and let’s converse on it.
Until
next time…
