About this deal

This story is a story you think you know. It's a classic The Omen-style, evil child trope, which frankly, is one of my favorites. There’s nothing scarier than loving a child and not understanding what they’re trying to tell you—”

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, St. Martin's Press, via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This novel kept dragging on to the point where I was beyond bored. I was waiting for something awesome, anything entertaining to happen, and nothing. As I said before, I loved this novel’s cover but I felt even that was a bit misleading. There was literally nothing to do about baby teeth even though it implies that it’s some kind of horror novel. Common now. "Baby Teeth" is not a horror novel as it’s more of a psychological thriller if anything. There are some bits and pieces that make it a bit creepy and disturbing but nothing to the levels you’d expect in a true horror novel. this is the story of a seven-year-old girl named hanna who loves her daddy SO MUCH that she doesn’t want anyone else taking up any of his time or attention. so, obviously, her mom’s gotta go. like, go in a “not be breathing anymore” way. Trussoni, Danielle (2020-07-22). "Where Evil Lurks". The New York Times. ISSN 0362-4331. Archived from the original on 2020-09-28 . Retrieved 2020-09-23. It was such a long, boring, drawn-out ending that didn’t satisfy me in any way, shape, or form. I’m talking zero climax, no excitement, no fun race to the end, nothing. Just more dialogue and more recapping of what I’ve read at least twice already.From blazing new talent Zoje Stage, Baby Teeth is a story about a perfect-looking family, and a darling little girl who wants nothing more than to kill her mother.” As Hanna grew stronger she could take it advantage of Mommy’s weakness. Could mommy die if cleaning too much – – could she scrubbed to death? And

Suzette loves her husband more than anything in this world. They have a daughter, Hanna, who she desperately wants to love too. But she just can’t get there. No connection or bond whatsoever. No, this isn’t just your typical riff between a parent and a teenager. Hanna is only seven. So who’s to blame for this total disconnect? Sweet little Hanna, or emotionally exhausted Suzette?Zoje Stage's 'Wonderland' is another gripping supernatural thriller". Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Archived from the original on 2020-10-08 .

I choose to stop this nonsense- I don’t want to be a stand for books where children are evil — for the sake of psychological pleasure reading. Need another excuse to treat yourself to a new book this week? We've got you covered with the buzziest new releases of the day.

I nearly didn’t finish this book. I found it to be THAT ridiculous with nothing remarkable about the writing style to keep me hooked. But, as we readers often do, I just HAD to trudge on to see if my mind would be magically changed in the end. It wasn’t, though the end result of the book was one of the better parts of the plot, so at least there’s that, right? 2 stars ** The pivotal moment in Hannah and Suzette's relationship is when Suzette is inappropriately candid with two-year-old Hanna. She doesn't consider how much Hanna can understand or how a young child with limited experience might process the information. It's a frustrating scene to witness, because of all the miscommunications that ignite the toxic cycle of Hanna and Suzette's relationship: Hannah is stressed out because Mommy is acting weird→Hanna tries to get her Mommy's attention the only way a two-year-old can→ Suzette interprets it as yet another one of her maternal failings, when Hanna is actually just being a normal toddler→The situation spirals out of control.
