Baby Teeth is unsettling, but in a good way.
Suzette spends her day with her seven year old daughter. She homes schools Hannah because she has already been removed from two schools. But Hannah's behavior continues to escalate causing Suzette to fear from her life.
Baby Teeth is an easy read. The chapters are short and the text isn't too thick. Plus, in the effort to cut the tension create by the book, I kept reading so I could get a conclusion. I was mostly satisfied with the conclusion though I think it did fall on a stereotypical horror trope
While the book does require some suspension of belief, Baby Teeth grabs you from the beginning. The idea of evil children make us uncomfortable and the novels plays off that. At the same time, it questions our knowledge of bad and good. The novel fails to take this idea deeper for true explanation and mixes the ideas of delusion and psychopathy.
Not very deep, but truly creepy, Baby Teeth is not for the faint of heart.
