Oh man I'm such a fan of weird book with creepy and sinister vibes, bonus points if there is some body horror. What Big Teeth checked all those boxes, and was unlike any other YA book I've read for a long while. It has similar vibes as a Tim Burton movie, and other people describes this as The Addams Family meets Wilder Girls- both some of my favorite creepy stories.

This book follows Eleanor, who is returning home after years away at boarding school. But when she arrives home, her family is not how she remembers them and the story unfolds from there.

My favorite thing about this book was the slow reveal of everything. Elenor's family are really creepy from the page we meet them, but we only begin to find out why piece by piece. It made for a slow but suspenseful pace that had me on the edge of my seat the entire book. And the supernatural elements also added to the atmosphere of the book!

If you love monster families, creepy gothic houses, and the supernatural, then What Big Teeth is definitely the book for you!
