I planned on taking my time reading this and I did not. It was like when you don't realize how thirsty you are until you have a sip of water and find yourself draining the entire glass. Absolutely fantastic!

Really dark, but impactful. TW: for a lot of transphobia and some sexual abuse, but I really appreciate the horror/thriller setting from a trans narrator pov. I think the author has created a really effective world and I would recommend this to someone looking to get into a horror mood.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
I greatly enjoyed The Spirit Bares Its Teeth. It was a raw and emotional read. (I'm pretty sure I was crying for 50% of it.)
I absolutely loved Hell Followed With Us, so I was ecstatic to get to read The Spirit Bares Its Teeth. It is safe to say my expectations were high, and this book did not disappoint.
It was fast-paced and had an interesting plot. The characters were all unique, and I wanted to get to know them all! The mystery and horror were fantastic and had me on the edge of my seat.
There were many graphic and raw descriptions, and this book was simply very honest. The mystical fantasy aspect spiced it up, but it definitely wasn’t as well fleshed out as it could’ve been. Compared to the rest of the book, the spirits and mediums felt irrelevant and put on the back burner.
The Spirit Bares Its Teeth is definitely one of my favorite reads of 2023 so far. I am anxiously awaiting more books from this author.

Please read TWs before reading! That being said, what a grotesquely beautiful story. It explores what it means to be disabled, a cis woman, a trans man, a trans woman, and so much more. An exploration into what we owe each other and systems of oppression, with a fantasy twist.
