Book Overview

"Unnerving and unputdownable, Baby Teeth will get under your skin and keep you trapped in its chilling grip until the shocking conclusion."--New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline

"A deliciously creepy read."--New York Post

A battle of wills between mother and daughter reveals the frailty and falsehood of familial bonds in award-winning playwright and filmmaker Zoje Stage's tense novel of psychological suspense, Baby Teeth.

MEET HANNA: Seven-year-old Hanna is a sweet-but-silent angel in the eyes of her adoring father Alex. He's the only person who understands her. But her mother Suzette stands in her way, and she'll try any trick she can think of to get rid of her. Ideally for good.

MEET SUZETTE: Suzette loves her daughter, but after years of expulsions and strained home schooling, her precarious health and sanity are weakening day by day. She's also becoming increasingly frightened by Hanna's little games, while her husband Alex remains blind to the failing family dynamics. Soon, Suzette starts to fear that maybe their supposedly innocent baby girl may have a truly sinister agenda.

"We Need to Talk About Kevin meets Gone Girl meets The Omen...a twisty, delirious read that will constantly question your sympathies for the two characters as their bond continues to crumble."--Entertainment Weekly

Customer Reviews

Resonated with me but maybe not for everyone!

Okay I sort of liked this book, and I know it has mixed reviews. I wasn’t happy with the ending, but have learned there is a part two which I plan to buy. Mixed reviews on that too, but I think if you are a mother and you can relate to mental illness, this book can resonate with you on a level it might resonate for others. No, it’s not my favorite more a 5 star, but I did like it. I liked the plot. I felt for the mother in this book and the way mental illness in a child can tear two people apart or bring them together depending on the strength of the relationship. It was difficult to read the things this little girl did to torture her mother.

Horrible

This book is horrendously bad! I kept reading hoping it would get better and it never did. Don’t pay full price for this. Heck anyone want my copy lol

Highly recommend!

Hard to put down, contemplative and heart breaking. Loved it!
