This one started pretty slow for me. It took me awhile to get into it and I only kept picking it up as a last resort. But I am so glad I stuck with it. It ended up being absolutely enthralling and I didn’t want to put it down by the end. It was a very a good scary read and each of the storylines brought something special to the story. Sometimes when there are multiple pov’s I just want to skip certain people and get back to my favorite. I didn’t experience that with this story and would’ve loved more from each voice! I wish it hadn’t ended where it did and hope that we get a sequel!

I can't begin to explain how much I loved this book. The writing style, the additional photos and creepy add ins, the eerie setting, the multiple POVs, the characters, their struggles, their achievements... I'm in awe it took me this long to pick it up and I urge everyone who sees this review to pick up a copy of Teeth in the Mist. I absolutely adored this book. Five well deserved stars. Full review to come on my blog.

Synopsis: Before the birth of time, a monk uncovers the Devil’s Tongue and dares to speak it. The repercussions will be felt for generations…

Sixteen-year-old photography enthusiast Zoey has been fascinated by the haunted, burnt-out ruins of Medwyn Mill House for as long as she can remember–so she and her best friend, Poulton, run away from home to explore them. But are they really alone in the house? And who will know if something goes wrong?

In 1851, seventeen-year-old Roan arrives at the Mill House as a ward–one of three, all with something to hide from their new guardian. When Roan learns that she is connected to an ancient secret, she must escape the house before she is trapped forever.

1583. Hermione, a new young bride, accompanies her husband to the wilds of North Wales where he plans to build the largest water mill and mansion in the area. But rumors of unholy rituals lead to a tragic occurrence and she will need all her strength to defeat it.

Three women, centuries apart, drawn together by one Unholy Pact. A pact made by a man who, more than a thousand years later, may still be watching…

Review: Holy cow I loved this book! This was the perfect ya horror book for my current mood and I think this would be an excellent Halloween novel! The characters are well developed, the world building is amazing, and the writing is truly magnificent.

My only issues are that the book gets a bit slow in the middle and the beginning is kinda hard to get into. You’re thrown into this world and you gotta reorient yourself when the pov switches for the first time. After that, it flows very well.

Verdict: A spooky story for you horror fans!
