About this listen
Helena's home is like anyone else's, with a husband, two daughters and a job she enjoys. But no one knows the truth about her dark and twisted childhood.
Born into captivity and brought up in an isolated cabin until she was twelve, Helena was raised by her terrified, broken mother and the man who held them both prisoner - Helena's own father.
Now with news that he has escaped from prison, Helena instinctively knows that her father is coming for her and if she wants to keep her family safe, she must find him - before he finds her. Even if that means returning to the darkest parts of her past, the scariest place imaginable, home.
An unforgettable, read-in-one-sitting thriller packed with gripping suspense.

interesting story and great narrator
I enjoyed this book but must admit to leaping over the fairytale Hans Christian Andersen story of the marsh kings daughter. I'm a grown up. at the beginning of each chapter was a mini chapter of nonsense. The main body of the story was fascinating and I wondered if children raised in an environment like that would share Helena's view of the world and love their Father inspite of his often unbelievable cruelty.

The story stayed with me.
This book left me thinking about the characters when I wasn't listening. I was absorbed in the story. One of the best I've listened to. Well researched, beautifully written, engaging on every level.

Grim
Details of hunting/ animal killing may be a trigger.
A dark and gripping story.

A slow burner
I hated this book initially and almost gave up on it. I'm glad I stuck with it. This book sucks you in completely. The main character's complicated relationship with her parents was the highlight for me. This is definitely worth persevering with.

Save your time and money. This book is terrible. The story line was boring and unbelievable in every chapter.
