In The Tall Trees by Angel N. Van Atta

challenging dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

Dark romance is another one of my favorite genres and I have read some messed up things in that genre including things that happen in this story and they have no effect on me whatsoever, but this by far out beats them all. It's because it's told from a child’s POV. The horror Mella sees, hears and encounters is heartbreaking. And to hear it all in her words crushed me. So many emotions were felt while reading this. Such an amazing story! Why is horror making me cry? 😅 Incredible job Angel!
