Mella lives in a tiny house in the middle of a dense forest with her mommy and her baby brother, Pete. Sometimes her daddy comes, and with him often the bad man comes, as well. Mella knows that she, her mommy and little brother are a secret family living where nobody knows they are, but she can't remember why that is or why her mommy is chained to the floor. In The Tall Trees is a story told through the eyes of our little hero as she must brave what's out there, lurking in the shadows, to save all that she knows and loves in the world.

The book is written from the perspective of the young girl, Mella, using her way of speaking and thinking. The author has done a tremendous job in depicting Mella and her fears. As things get worse in the household, Mella is sent from the house by her Mother to get help. The race through the woods around her house are the stuff of nightmares and I found myself reading at a faster and faster pace to see what would happen!
I loved the way that the author used Mella's love of superheroes to keep her going through all of the fears and scary things she encounters. Mella is truly a superhero in this book and I was urging her on at every step!
The narrator added a whole other dimension to this amazing story and her performance really brought it to life. Her voice for Mella was full of emotion and you could feel everything that she was feeling. Be prepared to have tears and cries of joy as you listen to this book!
Thank you, Angel, for opening up about your own experiences as a child to write this wonderful book! I would love to know what happens after the end of this book. I know that Mella will stay with me for a while.

Little Mella lives a life that no child should live. She lives in the woods with her baby brother Petey, her pregnant mama, and her Daddy that visits them sometimes. He brings lots of things sometimes - old toys, downloaded movies, food. And most of the time he brings The Bad Man with him. The Bad Man who won't let them leave the house and leaves Mama chained to a wall in the house. The Bad Man who hurts Mama and who makes baby Petey cry. The Bad Man whose words sound red.
Mella's journey was completely heart breaking. I originally read the book not long after it was released, and I had to take several breaks because I couldn't physically handle it. I was starting to sob and hyperventilate over what was happening. I don't think it helps that my youngest is 4, and I kept picturing her in Mella's shoes. It broke me.
When I heard there was going to be an audiobook, I was nervous that the narrator wouldn't do little Mella justice. After listening, those fears were completely unjustified. The narrator did an amazing job, and really brought Mella's story to an audible life. Like the author makes it seem like an actual 4 year old is telling her story and not an adult trying desperately to sound like a child, the narrator does an incredible job making it sound realistic. Everything is fluid, nothing is forced.
It's a different kind of horror novel. It's not scary in the way of demons or unreal monsters or anything like that. It's a terrifying realistic horror, which makes sense after reading the authors afterword.
I will always, ALWAYS recommend this book to everyone. It's one of the best I've ever read, and I'm looking forward to having my heart ripped out of my chest again with the sequel.
Heart wrenching and terrifying

I was struggling with exactly how to word my review because I just couldn’t seem to find the words to capture this captivating book. Then I read Angel’s post recounting her own personal experiences, and I felt even more ill equipped to describe the story in a manner that does it justice.
The book is told from the perspective of a child, so the language is written as such. I believe that perspective is what makes this book so unique and special. It’s a fast read / listen, but it packs so much emotion in those pages. It’s a gut punch right from the start, and the blows keep coming.
You should absolutely give it a read / listen. Such a heartbreakingly beautiful book. Thank you, Angel for having the courage to write this book, and for sharing an audible code with me.

I received an Audible code from the author and read along as I listened. The narrators performance was terrific as well.
What an intense read …
