Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan Sneak Peek

I was kindly provided with an ARC for this preview by the publisher.

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. 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS IDEA. LOVE IT.

Now, the preview only disclosed one chapter and you can’t really know much from that, but I’ll do my best to be the annoying bookworm and over analize it until you are sick of it. Ready? Ready.

The story begins with Frances being rescued from the sea after spending seven days adrift with her best friend who died only an hour before the rescue. In shcok and still remembering the horrifying experience they both went through, Frances learns that her summer love and his father also survived the attack that took the life of her parents, best friend as well as other two hundread people. But that’s not all she discovers, it seems that, instead of the men with guns that excuted the crew the senator and his son have lied and said it was a huge wave that hit the boat and killed everybody on board.

They were the reason the search for survivors never happened, her friend could have lived had it not been for them.

I thought it was rather rushed, actually, to start the story from this point and hope more of the past will be explored in the rest of the book because from this point we don’t know the characters, their relationships or anything and yet we are presented with this extremely emotional moment of Frances being rescued when her friend had died only an hour ago. 

Her relationship with her boyfriend and her reaction to his lie is indifferent to me because I barely know them. How deep were their feelings before the attack? How much did they know about each other?

I’m sure the book will go more into detail as it continues, I guess I just really want to know more.

So far I would absolutely recommend it!
