April had to help me open my #HHS #HauntedHallowSwap package from @Bookwormjillk

Thank you so much, Jill! I had to open the cat toys for April right away 😆 I‘m really looking forward to both of these books, the Pet Sematary bookmark is perfect (one of my favorite of King‘s), but I‘m going to dive into the tea first (love a cup of chai in the morning).

Thank you @wanderinglynn for hosting! Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 🐈‍⬛

Bookwormjillk Yay! Happy Halloween. I'm glad the mug survived shipping. 2mo

Diabolical.

Surprisingly gripping. Despite not liking any of the characters or the plot, I read this in two days.

To be honest, I have no idea why I had this compilation to finish this book so quickly. It could be the brilliant writing or the fact that I just wanted this twisted little girl out of my life.

The only thought I had the whole time reading this was; "This is a little serial killer in the making"

Please help....
I can't decide which book to read next.
I want to read them all.

Yuki_Onna I'm curious to hear what you think about Baby Teeth. This book has been on my TBR for ages... 3mo
5feet.of.fury I‘m reading God of the Woods right now. It‘s been keeping me entertained 3mo
Elizabeth2 I‘ve heard such good things about God of the Woods. The only one of these I‘ve read is Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and it was really good! It‘s a chunkster though - 1,000 pages or so, so keep that in mind when deciding when to pick it up. 3mo
Avanders I loved both Jonathan Strange and God of the Woods! They are both on the hefty side though 🤓 Curious about Baby Teeth! 3mo
Enchanted_Bibliophile Thanks @Yuki_Onna @5feet.of.fury @Elizabeth2 @Avanders , I've decided to start with Baby Teeth tonight. I'll let you know what I think 3mo

This book is so creepy. A 7yo non-verbal child basically spends this entire book trying to kill her mother so she can save daddy while the mother tries to deal with that and her own issues. It's fantastic.

Hmm... How would I describe this book?

Scary good. Twisted. Creepy.

More directly, Baby Teeth was a truly terrifying novel that goes to show just how deceiving appearances can be.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you haven't already done so, I definitely recommend reading this one!

It was just ok. In the first two-thirds of the book nothing happened. Just back and forth POVs of mom and daughter thinking about how they hated each other. Then things finally started to happen, but it wasn't really all that creepy or horrific or shocking. I was expecting more.

I read this as an ARC years ago & still enjoyed it. Having older kids, I know young kids can think and say weird shit. Viscious, homicidal kids are a whole other story! I didn't love the narrator on this one and the parents are a bunch of horndogs, but overall a nice creep factor!!

There really isn‘t anything particularly special about Baby Teeth, but I enjoyed it. It‘s the type of book I‘d recommend in passing. Not the type of ‘You have to read this‘ more of a ‘If you get a chance you should check this out.‘ There is a decent amount of suspense and intrigue to keep you wanting to read to the end, but it does get a bit repetitive. And there is a major plot point that‘s a little overly convenient. Still, if you get a chance…

I have so many conflicting emotions about this novel. I over-hyped it in my head and it wasn't as creepy as I expected. I feel kind of bad for Hanna in a way. I also think it desperately needs an epilouge at the end, and I'm actually frustrated that there isn't one. Overall a pick for me! Also I read this all in one day. My eyes are tired.

I DNFed this one. Not a bad book, but definitely not for me. I despised the MC, Suzette. I found her intolerably simpering. And I've never wanted a child to die before but, sheesh, Hanna was truly despicable lol! Anyway, I didn't make it past p50. I have a huge TBR. It's on to The Change!

A low pick: I can‘t decide if this is more a bad parenting story or an evil child story? Probably equal parts both. So much of the parenting frustrated me and parts even made me angry, but the kid was still quite evil.

Either way, this story kept my mind off of the fact that two of my three kiddos are leaving for college in western NC this week. For this reason (pure escapism) I‘ve been reading horror stories for the past few weeks.

I quite thoroughly enjoyed this one…until the final few chapters. Little bit too neat & tidy of a conclusion.

I actually feel like I‘m not actually finished, even though I am🤬😡🤬. Like a cliffhanger but worse ‘cause there is no follow-up or conclusion (that I know of) coming.

This story is just wild!😱 what a whirlwind of events. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next!

For one - if my husband doesn‘t believe our child is trying to kill me, he‘s going to have issues!!😂

Hana is a special litter girl, and she really loves her Daddy. Much, much more than… Mommy…
She will need to be dealt with so Hana and Daddy can be happy.

I hope for a sequel! Where will Hana be then!?😬

I like how Stage explores the ambivalence of motherhood and the identity shifts that accompany becoming parents, but the story is a little too step-by-step and the characters a little too flat for me. I don't find fictional therapy sessions interesting (not just because fictional mental health treatment is so unrealistically effective and easy to access), and WHY haven't these people childproofed their house? At least stop sharpening the pencils.

I‘m not entirely sure how I feel about this book. It was an interesting premise but I didn‘t really like any of the characters. Hanna‘s POV was kind of interesting but I don‘t know. I think this was just a so-so for me.

I read this earlier in the year and was blown away. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I highly recommend this book to anyone I meet. It is one of the most disturbing books I have read in a while. Very well constructed characters. A mother grapples with her difficult daughter who is completely different with her than she is with her husband. Things start to escalate and she begins to fear for her life... easy five stars.

The book is at its best when it really pushes tough questions around parenting, abuse, and generational trauma. However, Stage backs away from some of these questions where they should have and could have dug in deeper. As a result, the characters often felt flat. Narrative wise, the second half of the book also feels repetitive. A so-so read in the end.

Reviews were mixed at book club, and while there are lots of ways I think this could have been a better book, it still kept me on the edge of my seat and gave me legit anxiety. Probably don't read this book if you have young children/will ever even maybe have children/already suspect your child might be plotting to murder you.
Book 22 of 2021.

Completed my first book of the new year! I saw a ton of reviews going in that this book was improbable and unbelievable. After reading I can whole heartedly confirm that‘s not true. I‘ve MET kids like this. I work with families like this on a daily basis, and yes, sometimes it is HORRIFYING. Overall, I felt this book did a wonderful job of portraying some very real effects of mental illness on an entire family. (More below)!

Between a Pick and So-So.
Despite it not being entirely believable it is slightly horrifying and scarily thrilling in the vein of The Good Son and other movies involving unnatural kids. Also, the audio is fairly well performed, despite performing for both the mother and the child. Gabra Zackman did well at differentiating between the two.

Loved this book! It follows the pov of Hanna, a seven year old mute girl who thinks life would be perfect if only she could get rid of her mother; and her mother Suzette who is at her wit's end dealing with her daughter's unusual, difficult, and frightening behavior. So many emotions! I felt the frustration, sadness, and fear of these characters and was seriously invested. Is Hanna ill or evil? Is Suzette crazy? 🖤 guessing the whole way.
