Small Angels by Lauren Owen

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5

Summary: 💔💘🤯🕵🏻‍♀️☠

Read: Nov. 2022

SPOILERS

It was pretty slow to start, but the last 100-150 pages were so exciting and captivating! I wish the beginning was more interesting. I’m sure many people gave up on this book because it is long.

I enjoyed the different perspectives throughout the story, and how Harry's complete mystery isn’t explained immediately.

The whole thing about a wedding is odd, but I guess it makes sense why they are back in Sam’s hometown.

The woods of Mockbeggar are magical but can be dangerous if you aren’t careful...

This story has love, sisterhood, haunting, wedding, death, lgbtq+, and much more.

I recommend this story because it has an interesting plot and mystery and is worth reading through the beginning.

Nobody knew how old Mockbeggar was, or how big. The outside had been mapped and measured, but once you were in there it seemed to stretch much farther—fern and nettle, oak and beech, green on green for miles. Some nights, it was said, you might find yourself walking amongst trees that had fallen centuries before.

Currently reading Small Angels by Lauren Owen, and it’s creeping me out. Folk horror about a family curse, a haunted forest, and the villagers who live in denial about it. I loved Owen’s previous novel, The Quick.

You’d go softly through the dreaming village and the moon-shadowed fields, up the hill to Mockbeggar Woods.

"When the trees listened, a story lived - it became vivid, it took possession."

This week's book in my quest to read more is Small Angels, by Lauren Owen. It's about family secrets and generational trauma and how healing is a conscious decision that you have to make for yourself.

It's also about two girls who fall in love in a magical forest.

it's also about the power of storytelling and how the story you tell yourself holds power.

I wanted to tear through this book and find out what was happening, but I also wanted to slow down, savor it. I was only a few chapters in when I knew - it's one of those books that gets under your skin and never leaves. A bit like Mockbeggar itself, I suppose.
