Thank you Fierce Reads and Netgalley for the advanced e-galley of What Big Teeth by Rose Szabo.
What Big Teeth is a dark fantasy YA book about Eleanor Zarrin, her magical monsterous family and a mysterious man named Arthur. It was chilling, imaginative and well written. I have to say honestly though that most of this book I spent in a WTF state. What am I reading? Am I missing something? The author kind of drops you right into it and I had so many questions. I think those questions really distracted me from the story and the details for most of the book. The last 30% I’d say really captivated me. It’s very well written and provided me with vivid imagery of The Zarrins and their creepy house.
I’d give this 3.5 stars and recommend it to any one looking for a dark gothic fantasy. Nothing is as it seems and there will be some bizarre happenings on every page. I think I will reread in the near future. Now that I know what happens I will be able to better enjoy the writing, the details and the monsters.
