The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne
5.0
Oh My Gosh! What a phenominal book! This story grabbed me from the first line and didn't let go till the very end. It was intense, edge of your seat, fast paced and at times quite horrifying! I did not want to 'adult' at all while reading.
"I was born two years into my mother's captivity. She was three weeks shy of seventeen."
"I never went to school, never rode a bicycle, never knew electricity or running water. That the only people I spoke to during those twelve years were my mother and father. That I didn’t know we were captives until we were not."
This story read so well that at times I thought it might be a true story. This is definitely in my top Thriller reads this year. I would encourage everyone to read this book!
