Belle is a prisoner in her father\u2019s house, forcefully drugged and kept on high doses of psychiatric medication, and is struggling to get in touch with Gabe, the famous star who stole her creative ideas and betrayed her. As the days pass and Belle\u2019s struggles to keep herself sane fail, it becomes clear that things are not as they seem on surface. The first-person narrative provides depth to Belle\u2019s story, and Kerk does a skilled job of folding in layers of Belle\u2019s troubled past and her relation with her father. Though Belle\u2019s visions and recollections of her life with Gabe at times become repetitious, it\u2019s her descent into madness that drives the plot. The countless plot twists keep the story moving fast, and the shocking revelations bring various plot threads together, intensifying suspense. Kerk\u2019s stylish prose, fully realized characters, and serpentine storyline make this book an electrifying read.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Trapped Daughter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A Dark and Twisted Psychological Thriller<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">By Jay Kerk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaykerk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A page-turner\u2026 Almost nothing is as it initially seems in Kerk\u2019s latest psychological thriller, a twisting tale of love and madness.
