Such Sharp Teeth

"This was definitely not my usual type of book, but I was not disappointed! This book wasn't scary, which for me was a good thing because I'm honestly such a chicken, but parts of it were...intense is maybe the best word to describe it. All in all, I really enjoyed this book!"

"I really liked this book. If was fun and cute with a little creepiness. I liked the mix of family relations, "horror", and love. A fun quick read!"

"Rachel H combines chick-lit and horror in the most interesting ways. Would I have ever thought about comparing pregnancy to turning into a werewolf? No. But I love that she did. Liked 90% of the book but the ending was a bit underwhelming."

"Such Sharp Teeth blends horror and romance to create a fresh, uniquely feminine take on werewolves. The protagonist, Rory feels like someone you could really know - your smart, professionally successful friend who still doesn't quite seem to have her **** together. When Rory is attacked by a werewolf, things get even messier. The story centers on the theme of scary life transformations: Rory becoming a werewolf, her twin Scarlett becoming a mother, working through trauma, and that classic late twenties limbo where most of your friends are settling down while others still party like they're 21. Harrison's writing style balances body horror with charm. The wolfy bits are visceral, while everything else is relatable, funny, and full of feeling. And there is just a touch of romance between Rory and the childhood friend who has always loved her. The banter between them is so endearing."

"I loved it. It was fun, whitty, talked about healing and therapy. We saw romance and inner struggle. I had a lot of fun reading and it is probably one of my favorite reads this year. I had trouble finishing my last book but this gave me some of my enthusiasm about reading back."

"If you want to take a break from reading vampire novels, I highly suggest this werewolf novel. Definitely humorous at times with a potential love interest but this is definitely one of my favorite novels of 2022"

"It was good. About 10% werewolf and 90% family/relationships. Would have preferred more werewolf."

"Someone referred to Rachel Harrison as a contemporary horror author, and that is so spot on. These novels are funny and scary and unbelievably entertaining."

"The werewolf portions were great, but unfortunately, most of the book focuses on the family drama, so it’s not really a horror novel. It actually turned into a romance, which was disappointing."

"There is something about Rachel Harrison's writing that makes me can't stop reading it. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors. <br/><br/>Rory leaves her big city life to come back home and help out her twin sister, who is pregnant and estranged from the father. As much as Rory loves her sister she is less than thrilled to be back home where she was more than happy to run away from. Soon after she's back she is attacked by an animal after hitting it with her car. From there life for Rory drastically changes and has her googling werewolves. <br/><br/>I loved this book! Harrison has a talent for writing books with witty female characters that are both cozy and horrific. She can really write a disgusting scene then turn around and make you want to roast marshmallows. And make you crave a good group of girlfriends. I could have easily read this in one sitting if I didn't need to sleep or work. <br/><br/>This is the classic story of werewolf with no new or earth shattering take but also made me think my best friend could come out to me about being a werewolf and I wouldn't bat an eye - well, after the initial shock. The parallels of Rory's transformation and her twin sister's pregnancy I thought was brilliant. The sprinkle of feminism throughout was chef's kiss. Rory is someone I'd like to be friends with. She's also written as a real person and not a fantasy version you sometimes run into with strong female characters. The side characters were also wonderful and so fun to read. They perfectly complimented the story.<br/><br/>This is a perfect October read. Highly recommend."
