What Big Teeth seemed like a plotline predictable to everyone except the author. The book begins with a type of flashback scene that provides no context as a prologue and yet spoils the novel within the first chapter. The prologue is supposed to serve as a full circle explanation only clear towards the end of the novel. Yet, it is clear to EVERYONE BUT ELEANOR her role in the family and the dangers of her second grandmother. I understand the main character does not begin the story with all of her memories but, the author depends on this amnesia to lengthen the book when there is evidently other problems that require explanation. At one point it is impossible to blame the main character's faults on her lack of memory and she emanates the actions of an unlikeable female character too dense to grasp the clear instructions and clues handed directly to her. The plot diverges from the typical werewolf tropes but, it is not reflected in the cover. I went into this book with the expectation of a werewolf-based story, but there are so many magic-based elements that the story is lost in confusion. It was a book that was difficult to finish.
