Mystery/Thriller Monday

Rachel has some humongous gaps in her memories of being a kid. And, for 15 years she’s thought that when she was a kid she caused her parents’ deaths. She has been in a mental hospital during that time. But, then, she learns something new that shakes her world for sure. And, she returns to her family’s cabin in Michigan (super super remotely in Michigan).

So twisty, and so dark, and, it’s a story that encompasses two generations too. It was an awesome psychological thriller that kept me turning the pages, and kept me up much longer than I should have been too.

Recenzija: Kći Kralja Močvare

Originalan naslov: The Marsh King's Daughter

Autor: Karen Dionne

Datum: 08/10/2022

Ocjena: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

————————————————————————

Dugo nisam čitala neki psihološki triler pa sam odlučila dati šansu ovoj knjizi, a zatim sam se dugo nećkala oko toga koliko mi se zapravo svidjela.

Od radnje sam dobila točno ono što sam očekivala, a to je napetu priču o djevojci koja odrasta usred močvare sa svojim roditeljima te koja pripovjeda o svom načinu života, borbi za preživljavanjem i nasilnim izljevima njezinog oca. Priča same knjige započinje nakon što njezin otac bježi iz zatvora, davno nakon njezinog djetinjstva, no knjiga se većinu vremena okreće na događaje u prošlosti. Autorice time otkriva već u prvim poglavljima kako će se cijela priča razviti. Makar je knjiga napeta, saznanje da čitatelj može očekivati sretan kraj umanjuje doživljaj čitavog dijela.

Napetost se centrira na prošlost čime spisateljica zapostavlja sadašnjosti koja zatim djeluje veoma pasivno. Više važnosti predano je već najavljenom bijegu glavne junakinje, Helene, od njezinog otmičara, nego aktivni lov na njezina oca za koji čitatelj još ne zna kraj. Spisateljica je eventualno mogla naglasiti neizvjesnost završetka sa nekim dobrim plot twistom, no to se na kraju nije dogodilo.

S druge strane, Dionne ima izvrstan stil koji je pravi užitak čitati. Nije teško primjetiti koliko je mnogo truda uložila u istraživanje o lovu, životu izvan civilizacije, kulturi indijanskih plemena i o samom Gornjem Poluotoku Michigana. Njezini likovi izvrsno su razrađeni, a posebno je realistično prikazan odnos između Helene i njezina oca. Helenina povezanost sa ocem ojačana je iskrenom divljenju koje osjeća prema njemu te prezirom prema majci čiju pasivnost smatra kao slabost. Svojim ponašanjem i sposobnostima želi zadiviti oca kako bi zaslužila njegovo odobrenje. Njegove nasilne kazne smatra rezultatom svojeg neuspjeha, a ne njegove izopačene naravi. Tijekom djetinjstva uopće ne poima bijeg kao opciju sve do trenutka kada shvati da njezin život nije normalan te da je zapravo očeva zatočenica zajedno sa svojom majkom.

Osobno mislim da bi se radnja bolje prenijela u obliku filma, a s obzirom da je trenutačno u produkciji realizacija takvog projekta samo je pitanje vremena kada ću je kao takvu moći doživjeti. Inače, knjiga je solidan izbor za svakog ljubitelja trilera te vjerujem da će se mnnogima svidjeti.

It is well known that Sagittarians make great teachers, lawyers, performers, comedians, artists, philosophers, leaders and musicians. And even with Mercury in Sagittarius, great writers too. So that runs the gamut. So this is a comprehensive round up just in case you missed how multi faceted this zodiac sign actually is, its range is wide. Top of the list are the giants like William Blake who straddles poetry, art and mysticism, and Ludwig Beethoven whose work is monumental and will still be listened to in hundreds of years. But there was also Oliver Messiaen who composed music La Constellation du Sagittaire which was his zodiac sign.

proteusastrologydotcodotuk.files.wordpress.com

Sagittarians make great magicians like Franz Bardon. He was much less known than Aleister Crowley, but nevertheless regarded as one of the most important occultists of the 20th Century, and still we have Dion Fortune, let’s not forget, who was also a Sagittarian and an acute psychologist. for a modern Sagittarian magicians look to Uri Geller. Needless to say Sagittarians also make great astrologers like Robert Hand Nik Kollerstrom and Karen Hamaker-Zondag and these are only the known charts.

Dec 2nd, is the birthday of Britney Spears, who in spite of her wobbly personality is still much loved and, when on form, delivers the goods as a performer. But so many Sagittarian singers. Note also Christine Aguilera, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and Nicki Minaj- who all love to perform. But before them some of the greats of old include Frank Sinatra, Dionne Warwick and thunder thighs (Sagittarius is linked to the thighs) herself, Tina Turner who became the ultimate Buddhist fulfilling the yearnings of her spiritual nature.

There are also some oddball singers Little Richard, Frank Zappa, Ted Nugent and Tom Waits, and there are two outstanding opera stars Maria Callas, whose voice no one can match, and Jose Carreras.

Sagittarians can even be great hedonists crazies who go off piste from time to time, but are still entertaining. There’s Jim Morrison of the Doors, Ozzy Osbourne of Black Sabbath, Jay-Z and wild man Billy Idol. Some Sagittarians in this category can come across with a certain edgy swagger like Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.

Then there are philosopher teachers, leader and gurus like Osho, Bruce Lee and B.K.S. Iyengar also embody many quintessentially Sagittarian traits as ultimate teachers all offering some form of physical practice yoga and martial arts-which marries the higher and lower self. Iyengar said ‘my body is my temple and the asanas are my prayers’ but he also said, as a true Sagittarian, that ‘honesty is essential’ in teaching. With Mercury in Sagittarius he could sometimes be difficult to understand when speaking. But there’s also wiseacre, Noam Chomsky, who functions in dual areas as linguistic philosopher and political activist, and then there's author who popularises 'Life School' philosophy, Alain de Botton.

Then we have the artists and painters from Masaccio, to Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Jan Toroop to Lucien Freud and the ever controversial, Marina Abramovic. But one mention must go to French artist and teacher of painting, William Adolph Bougereau, His name was tarnished as being too traditional, not being ‘modern’ enough by Picasso and the art gallery owners who ganged up against him and cast him into the margins of art history as an old fuddy duddy, but he was was as skilled and technically accomplished as any of the Renaissance painters, ran his own school and more hard working and prolific than any of the Impressionists or Post-Impressionists or Cubists.

Then we have the visionary Sci Fi writers Philip K. Dick author of the stories that made it into film: Blade Runner, Minority Report and The Adjustment Bureau. Dick spoke of visions of the future that have if not come true, then are resonating widely. His imagination was as fertile as any and he worked at top speed even bringing downloads of Gnostic wisdom into novels like Valis. Also Arthur C. Clarke and C.S. Lewis were both Sagittarians. These are the big names in the field whose legacy remains strong.

And the film directors can’t be bigger Fritz Lang, Stephen Spielberg and Ridley Scott who directed some of the best known films in past decades and has just directed Napoleon. But working on a smaller, more intimate scale we should not ignore Woody Allen, John Cassavetes, and the lesser known Argentinian film director, Marco Berger.

And who is the most loved actress in the UK? Yorkshire born, Dame Judi Dench as talented and versatile as any actress can be. But world renowned actors include Liv Ullman, John Malkovich, Christopher Plummer, Brad Pitt, Kim Basinger, Julianne Moore and Jake Gylenhaal, most of them known around the world not just in their home countries.

Finally the athletes. Sagittarius is a fully developed physical sign – the hybrid centaur- so we have runner Florence Griffiths-Joyner, Donovan Bailey, and Oscar Pistorius, and football player Kylian Mbappe, along with Tennis players Boris Becker and Monia Seles.

See who else you can recognise in the collage of famous Sagittarians and in the list.

And now to end with comedian Bill Hicks, a Sagittarian, capturing the essence of a daily thought in the minds of these fiery, idealistic spirits:

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it’s very brightly colored, and it’s very loud, and it’s fun for a while.

Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, “Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?” And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, “Hey, don’t worry; don’t be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.” And we … kill those people. “Shut him up! I’ve got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.” It’s just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok …

But it doesn’t matter, because it’s just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”

If you think the world is accelerating towards a collective psychosis, you are not alone but it could be a magnified reflection of our own fears. According to author Paul Levy to recognise that there’s a dream-like quality to reality is the first step to activating your creative higher self, and to use the Daimon- the inner genius or ‘higher’ self- is a way to counter the wetiko mind-blindness that appears to have become virulent in the world. This means taking a ‘quantum’ perspective and Sagittarius is at home with the quantum world and the weird and multiple perspectives and dimensions it brings to bear on the old solidified way of seeing reality.

CW: careless talk about postpartum depression

I've been avoiding this introductory story from Dr. Dionne because it's so horrifying. I'll just quote the whole thing.

Karen is a 30 year old woman who grew up in our church and has parents who were missionaries in Venezuela when she grew up. She has three children and one is less than two months old. She and her husband have been married for 10 years, and she professed Christ when she was a girl, and her husband also grew up in our church, and he just got a job as a police officer, and he's working the graveyard shift. And after her second baby, she suffered with postpartum depression. Now her baby's crying every night, and her husband has gone during the night, and he has to sleep during the day, and she's not getting enough. She is having angry outbursts, and she's very unhappy, so she went to her doctor and was given antidepressants for postpartum depression, and she hoped it would help. But she only took it for three days and seemed to get worse, so she stopped taking the medicine. Her doctor told her if she could not tolerate the medication, she would need to get counseling. And she doubted if it would work for her. She felt like she had known God her whole life, and she doubted that God loved her which is very common when people are depressed.

Picture the scene. This mother has no sleep and a newborn. She has the flood of postpartum hormones -- a wallop for everyone -- but this is in the depression territory. Her husband is absent.

Her medical doctor (at least according to the story) is basically doing nothing. She's not taking the meds -- probably because she's been told at their church that meds are wrong.

But Dionne goes on. Guess what the BJU-trained counselor suggests. Yup -- MEMORY VERSES! But lo and behold, what does she discover??!??!?

So my wife Kelly started meeting with her, and she met with her every week and she started off by having her memorize scripture. And as Kelly was getting to know her, she learned about some sin Karen had committed with her husband when they before they got married. And they had never asked her, repented of this to each other or repented before God.

"Some sin."

Dionne never says it, but he's attributing allll the problems to that "sin." It's probably sexual relations with her now-husband before they were married. At least, that's the way Dionne sets it up.

He goes on:

And this was a very important time when her husband came to counseling with her, and they apologized to each other and they confessed to God their sin. From this, she learned that she actually had to seek forgiveness from some other people in her life. She would have lots of anger, and as they spent more time counseling, it became clear that she had some wrong expectations about her life. What was the problem? Well, she wanted life to be comfortable and easy, and it wasn't. As she was being counseled, Kelly taught her how important her thoughts are, the thoughts she deserved an easy and a fun life. And to be had to be replaced with right expectations about. So whenever anything went wrong in her life, she would doubt God and become angry with him. She learned that God was using the hard things for her good, showing her her desperate need for him. Anybody learning that right now suffering is so good for me.

Everybody stop.

Is anyone taking care of the baby during the day so that Dad and Mom can sleep? Is anyone taking care of this family? Is anyone talking to the Dad and explaining, "You need a different shift." Is anyone offering the Dad a different job?

These are real things that can be done that are not "memorizing verses" or plumbing the depths of a 20-something's life.

Where are the older moms who can come in to help? The grandmas? The aunts?

Medication is important too. But hello!!?? You don't need a license to be a decent human being.

Dionne never actually says what happened to the family and specifically the mom. He just tells the story in such a way that you think it's all tidy after they confessed to "sin."

books I read in 2023

Threw together a list of books I read this year plus brief thoughts about them Just Because.

The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne - I was so, so ready to like this book and then like one chapter in suddenly got hit with the reveal that the backstory to it is the racist trope of "big scary Native man kidnaps a pure, virginal white girl to be his wife." So....fuck that shit.

So Many Beginnings by Bethany C. Morrow - Heck yes. Excellent book. It's a retelling of Little Women set in the Roanoke Freedmen's Colony. The author leans into how aro-coded Jo is. Also Beth lives.

Renegades by Marissa Meyer - Yeah, I didn't finish this one. I got so bored.

Common Bonds: A Speculative Aromantic Anthology ed. by Claudie Arseneault, C.T. Callahan, B.R. Sanders, and RoAnna Sylver - I mean it's an anthology, so some of the stories just did not work for me, but I am ecstatic over the concept alone and most of it was amazing.

The Companion by Katie Alender - Creepy as shit in the best possible way. My one complaint is that after 200 pages without a hint of romance, suddenly a character showed up who was so obviously meant to be the main character's love interest and that part was exhausting. Otherwise excellent, amazing, chilling as hell, and you know I love me some abuse narratives.

All These Bodies by Kendare Blake - I wanted to like this one so bad and it's not that I didn't like it, but it was just kinda...mostly okay? I felt like I was supposed to be creeped out and scared and tbh I should have been because there's some pretty disturbing shit in this book but all just fell so flat.

Sounds Fake But Okay: An Asexual and Aromantic Perspective on Love, Relationships, Sex, and Pretty Much Everything Else by Sarah Costello and Kayla Kaszyca - Bad. Just bad. Oh my g-d this book was so bad and irritating and just...if you want to learn more about aspec people or think you might be aspec yourself, please read literally anything else. I won't go into detail because I wrote a whole post about it here, but just...bad.

Ace and Aro Journeys: A Guide to Embracing Your Aromantic or Asexual Identity by The Ace and Aro Advocacy Project - So, this was definitely better than Sounds Fake But Okay overall, but there is a thread of deep discomfort with the existence of sex-repulsed and romance-repulsed aspecs that keeps popping up throughout the book. It is pretty clear that at least one of the authors (and probably more than one since there were several and apparently no one raised a strong enough objection to get any of this shit scrapped or rewritten) really Does Not Like sex-repulsed and romance-repulsed people.

The Wicked Remain by Laura Pohl - Second part of a duology, and the first book was definitely better. I low-key suspect that this book might have just been Once Upon A Time fanfiction with the serial numbers filed off. That said, I am always here for queerplatonic relationship rep and stories where the Cinderella character ends up single.

Song of the Lioness quartet by Tamora Pierce - Series of four books, but I'm putting all of them together here because a) my thoughts are kinda the same and b) this post is already too long. I'm not gonna say much because I have a whole post about this series in my drafts already so I'll just leave it with yeah my nostalgia for these books has worn off quite a bit.

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo - This was another reread and yeah it still holds up just as good as the first time I read it. Literally this is one of my favorite books.

The Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo - Another reread. Excellent. Love a sequel that's just as good as the first one. Also one of my favorite books.

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo - Yeah I was on a rereading spree this year. This one is also so damn good.

Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo - Last Grishaverse book on the list, I promise. So good. Nina went completely off the rails in this one and I love every second of it. Really everyone went off the rails a little bit but Nina most of all.

The Pomegranate Gate by Ariel Kaplan - I have a post about this one here so I won't say too much in this post but g-d I love how unapologetically Jewish this book is. No stopping to explain things to any goyim who might be reading. No coddling goyishe feelings while portraying antisemitism. This book is for Jews and that's beautiful.

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson - Yet another reread. Actually, genuinely accurate portrayal of how PTSD triggers work. First sign of healing not being a romantic relationship but being the main character telling a shitty friend to fuck off. Literally the only thing stopping me from wholeheartedly shouting "I love this book so much" is that there's a random use of the r-word because this book is from the 90s and back then it was basically illegal to publish fiction about teenagers without having your characters use that word.

We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation by Eric Garcia - So I've got mixed feelings about it but ultimately I'd say this book is a net positive. Definitely recommend it for nonautistic people and for autistic people whose only exposure to the autistic community is through spaces like tumblr. Just don't have this be the only book you read about autistic people, you know?

#book blogging #book club with rogue #''threw together'' is a phrase which hear means ''i've been working on this post for like a week''

Photo

This photo that came up in today’s Memories is from when the Hollywood, California band that I was in, The Loafin' Hyenas, played our first club gig at Raji’s, the epicenter of Hollywood underground bands at the time. I think this was 1988. At that point the band consisted of myself on vocals, former Cramps guitarist Click Mort, a wild cajun gal from Beaumont named Dionne Sparks (now Neva Trejo) on fiddle, & the former rhythm section from the band Blood on the Saddle, Ron Botelho on bass & Hermann Senac on drums. This is the lineup that recorded our first single “Scatter” (about Elvis’ chimpanzee) b/w “Move It!” (a reworking of one of my earlier songs from Tex & the Saddletramps days) that was one of the early releases from Long Gone John’s Sympathy For The Record Industry label (SFTRI 008).

And what a night it was. I don’t remember much from our performance, but I do remember who was there in the audience that night. In the second photo just to the left of the speaker cabinet (& darkly in the first photo) you can see original Gun Club bassist Rob "Graves" Ritter in sunglasses (yes, after dark AND indoors) sitting on the floor with his friend Tim Farris from the band Celebrity Skin. Rob was our favorite & the first bass player Click & I recruited for The Loafin' Hyenas & he jammed with us once when we were in the early stages of writing songs & putting the band together. But Rob was too busy at the time playing reunion gigs with 45 Grave & soon joining the band Thelonious Monster, to have enough time to devote to our project. He did return toward the end of The Loafin' Hyenas & contributed some beautiful bass lines to our only album, THE LOAFIN’ HYENAS on Patrick Mathè’s New Rose label out of France.

Also that night Click had invited his old bosses from The Cramps, Lux Interior & Poison Ivy Rorschach, who surprisingly showed up & crowded into the stuffy basement room at Raji’s where the bands played. I remember Lux pointing out in conversation afterwards in his humorous goofy manner, “Hey, we’re both lead singers with three letter names that end in ‘x’ Lux & Tex!”. I had invited Chip Kinman from Rank and File, a band that I admired & had opened shows for a couple of times back in Dallas at The Hot Klub, who also showed up.

The third photo is my still sweetie Karen Kritter & I in one of Raji’s booths. The final image is a flyer by Click Mort. Don't remember if this was the same night. But it would make sense since Lux produced the first Mad Daddy's LP...

A ‘Night for Notables’

The Library of Michigan honored its most recent crop of notable Michigan authors Saturday and of course Sharon was among the 20. I tagged along.

Hors d'oeuvre and drinks. a mingling of book writers with book lovers, then a keynote speech by Upper Peninsula author Karen Dionne, author of the “The Marsh King’s Daughter,” among other successful books.

Then the authors camped out at tables where they met fans and signed books.

It was a large and enthusiastic crowd and I was gratified to see so many people gathered to celebrate the joy of reading.

Rating: 3/5

Book Blurb: A woman investigating her brother’s apparent suicide finds herself falling for her prime suspect—his darkly mysterious girlfriend—in this “creepy, compelling, and utterly original” (Karen Dionne) thriller. “Get it out of me.” It was the last message Holly received from her brother, Dane, before he was found cleaved open in the lavish Savannah townhouse of his girlfriend, Maura. Police ruled his death a suicide sparked by psychosis, but Holly can’t shake the idea that something else must have happened—something involving another message he sent earlier that night about a “game” Maura wanted to play. Determined to discover the truth, Holly begins to stalk Maura, a magnetic, black-eyed florist with a penchant for carnivorous plants. But what begins as an investigation quickly veers into a fixation that lures Holly into the depths of Maura’s world: Savannah high society, eerie black roses, and a whisper of something more sinister. Soon Holly is feeling a dark attraction to the one woman she shouldn’t trust. As Holly falls deeper for Maura and her secrets, she’s left with only one choice: find out what happened to Dane or meet the same fate.

Review:

After receiving a mysterious text message from her brother saying “ Get it out of me” and then being notified that he was found cleaved open in the beautiful Savannah townhouse of his girlfriend, Maura.... Holly knows something is suspicious and she is determined to find out what really happened to her brother. Holly and her brother are close and she noticed that he has started acting strange ever since he began dating his rich and strange botanist girlfriend Maura. When Holly’s roommate plans on moving out what better opportunity than to move in with Maura and snoop around to discover what she might be hiding. Yet the more time she spends with Maura the more she finds herself drawn to Maura and falling for her... yet there is something sinister happening, from the strange black roses that might be feeding on blood, Maura’s strange high society friends, Holly’s brother’s drawings and messages.... and the nightmares that plague her. Yet the more Holly dives into the mystery of her brother’s death the more she feels like she is in danger... and that she might be next. This was an interesting horror/mystery that really plays on the floral horrors. The story starts off interesting but lags a bit in the middle but definitely picks up in the final portion of the book. This book is a fun spooky read!

*** SPOILER**** Holly discovers that Maura has been feeding roses blood and harvesting them in human bodies... and has started doing it to Holly. She thinks that these parasitic roses will eat away grief, sadness, and such inside humans and that she is “helping” them. She did it to Dane, Eric, Lauren, and she has started doing it to Holly, but Holly fights back and sets Maura’s townhouse and greenhouse on fire with Maura in it and is thankfully turning back to normal. She discovered that Maura had picked up the roses that had grown inside her brother’s corpse and had been harvesting them inside him, so when he sent the text to holly saying there was something inside him, he was right. Holly steals those roses made from Dane and sets them free to release him***

*Thanks Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Bantam for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Read Alikes: Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

The Marsh King’s Daughter by Karen Dionne

Helena Pelletier has a loving husband, two beautiful daughters, and a business that fills her days. But she also has a secret: she is the product of an abduction. Her mother was kidnapped as a teenager by her father and kept in a remote cabin in the marshlands of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Helena, born two years after the abduction, loved her home in nature, and despite her father’s sometimes brutal behavior, she loved him, too…until she learned precisely how savage he could be. More than twenty years later, she has buried her past so soundly that even her husband doesn’t know the truth. But now her father has killed two guards, escaped from prison, and disappeared into the marsh. The police begin a manhunt, but Helena knows they don’t stand a chance. Knows that only one person has the skills to find the survivalist the world calls the Marsh King - because only one person was ever trained by him: his daughter.

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

So begins this exquisite novel about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee, and her parents are determined that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue. But when Lydia’s body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together is destroyed, tumbling them into chaos. A profoundly moving story of family, secrets, and longing, Everything I Never Told You is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.

My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent

At 14, Turtle Alveston knows the use of every gun on her wall. She knows how to snare a rabbit, sharpen a blade, and splint a bone. She knows that her daddy loves her more than anything else in this world and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her with him. But she doesn’t know why she feels so different from the other girls at school; why the line between love and pain can be so hard to see. Or why making a friend may be the bravest and most terrifying thing she has ever done. Sometimes the people you’re supposed to trust are the ones who do most harm. And what you’ve been taught to fear is the very thing that will save you…

Let’s No One Get Hurt by Jon Pineda

Fifteen-year-old Pearl is squatting in an abandoned boathouse with her father, a disgraced college professor, and two other grown men, deep in the swamps of the American South. All four live on the fringe, scavenging what they can - catfish, lumber, scraps for their ailing dog. Despite the isolation, Pearl feels at home with her makeshift family: the three men care for Pearl and teach her what they know of the world. Mason Boyd, aka "Main Boy," is from a nearby affluent neighborhood where he and his raucous friends ride around in tricked-out golf carts, shoot their fathers' shotguns, and aspire to make Internet pranking videos. While Pearl is out scavenging in the woods, she meets Main Boy, who eventually reveals that his father has purchased the property on which Pearl and the others are squatting. With all the power in Main Boy's hands, a very unbalanced relationship forms between the two kids, culminating in a devastating scene of violence and humiliation.

On the Threshold by M. Laszlo

“Deliciously unpredictable and absolutely engrossing, Nicola Solvinic’s The Hunter’s Daughter is one of the best debuts I’ve read in a very long time. With a dash of magical realism and the kind of complicated, conflicted heroine I love, Solvinic pulls off a nearly impossible feat: making the reader care about a woman who may well be following in her serial killer father’s footsteps. Put The Hunter’s Daughter at the top of your TBR list—I loved this book!” —Karen Dionne, bestselling author The Marsh King's Daughter The Hunter’s Daughter by Nicola Solvinic https://amzn.to/48NTMdP https://bit.ly/3YDcQHB #nicolasolvinic #mysteryauthor #crimeauthor #thrillerwriter #criminology #criminologymastermind #crimefiction #crimethriller #crimenovels #detectivenovels #suspensenovels #thrillerbooks #murdermystery #mysteryseries #whodunit #mysteryreads #bookcommunity #mustread #bookrecommendation #bookish #booklovers #readinglist #bookclub #bestseller
