A review by noellelovesbooks
In the Shadow Garden by Liz Parker
4.75
I received an ARC of this book, ahead of release, through the Forever Publishing influencer program. All thoughts are my own.
Content Warnings:
Mention of: trauma, PTSD, infidelity, loss of loved one, child abuse [physical and emotional], an alcoholic parent, and feelings of inadequacy.
This is such a beautiful story! I’m so glad I was able to get my hands on an ARC so I can tell you all you’re really going to want to pre-order this one! I remember reading the summary of this book and thinking…this might just hit me in the feels. There’s just something about books/movies that have generational magic that’s tied to the earth that just feeds my soul.
I love that we get to bounce between multiple perspectives as we slowly learn more about the town, the magic, and what exactly happened in the summer that the town chose to forget.
We also get to see three strong generations of Haywood women who are all so different but deeply connected to each other and the town. Though they’ve each gone through their ups and downs they’ve been able to rely on the strength of their family to keep them going.
Since I don’t want to give away any spoilers or too much information just know that this book is going to have you feeling so many emotions but will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. If you’re in the market for a book with small-town charm, family feuds, generational magic, and a town mystery…look no further! September is the perfect time for its release so you can get your blankets and hot tea ready to snuggle down as you enjoy this magical read.
