Baby Teeth

I want to start by saying that I was given an advanced reader copy of this novel.

We've read books or seen movies about the evil child wreaking havoc upon families while acting like a sweet little angel when called out on their behavior. Baby Teeth takes this model and amps it up to 11. You have Hannah, precious angel to her father and demonic beast to her mother.

I think what sets Baby Teeth apart from similar stories is the fact that Hannah is seven and she cannot speak. The terror she inflicts upon her mother is cunning and calculating, far more frightening due to her young age and refusal to speak to her family. She plays her father like a fool, endearing herself to him so that he cannot possibly take his wife's side whenever Hannah causes problems. But will it always be that way?

Zoje Stage has crafted a fantastic tale of mother and daughter, leaving you to question what's really happening in this family's home. And for a first novel, Stage knocks it out of the park. The book is cleverly crafted, and the writing is wonderful. When this book comes out, you should definitely grab a copy. It'll keep you riveted until the very end, and then some. Seriously, I need there to be a sequel to this fantastic thriller.
