Book Blurb:
From an outstanding new voice in cozy fantasy comes Greenteeth, "a joyful, warm-hearted" (H. G. Parry) tale of fae, folklore, and found family, narrated by a charismatic lake-dwelling monster with a voice unlike any other, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher.
Beneath the still surface of a lake lurks a monster with needle sharp teeth. Hungry and ready to pounce.
Jenny Greenteeth has never spoken to a human before, but when a witch is thrown into her lake, something makes Jenny decide she's worth saving. Temperance doesn't know why her village has suddenly turned against her, only that it has something to do with the malevolent new pastor.
Though they have nothing in common, these two must band together on a magical quest to defeat the evil that threatens Jenny's lake and Temperance's family, as well as the very soul of Britain.
Review:
A cozy fantasy about a lake dwelling monster, fae, and found family! This was a sweet story that has all the cozy monster vibes and found family adventure you could imagine. It's an easy read and follows the story of a lake monster who encounters a witch thrown into her lake... and instead of eating her, decides to save her... and so begins their magical journey together as they save Jenny's lake and the the whole of Britain! This wasn't a bad book but it just felt a little boring and I got a little lost, however it was a nice cozy read and one I would absolutely recommend to others.
