Wow this book was an experience. Three timelines and lives that intertwine with each other. I really enjoyed this book it is way different than what I normally read and I was quite surprised. It was hard to get into at first but the farther in I got the more I needed to know more. The characters were so interesting and the plot was eerie. The whole vibe of this book is perfect for October and when the next book comes out I will be picking it up!

*Trigger Warning: This book does contain a scene with self harm.*
I'm on a horror novel kick lately, so I was super excited when my library got a copy of Teeth in the Mist. I've seen so many people say how creepy and dark and fantastic this book was so I couldn't wait to get my teeth into it. (Ha, see what I did there? Teeth.) I've loved Dawn's previous novels so I figured I was hitting a home run with Teeth in the Mist but quite honestly, I'm still not sure how I feel about this book.
I am a fast reader, I can read about 100-150 pages in about an hour depending on the genre of a novel. I am not sure if I missed certain details from events that happened in Teeth in the Mist because I was reading so fast, because I was getting that two plus two equals and goat with glowing red eyes and I am honestly confused.
I enjoyed the alternating POVs and how Roan's was in a standard story telling way and Zoey was through journal entries and video footage. We also have some of Hermione's dairy entries thrown in there. I love books that have unconventional formats so I was really excited to see that Teeth in the Mist contained letters, photos and journal entries mixed through out the novel.
I don't think that Teeth in the Mist was a horrible book. I really enjoy Dawn's writing and I loved her characters. I just didn't understand a lot of what happened and it may have been because I wasn't absorbing much detail as I was reading. But from I did understand of the story is had me turning the pages and eager to attempt to put the puzzle of this book together.
If you are looking for a book that is going to send chill down your spine and make you want to sleep with a light on, Teeth in the Mist is the perfect book for you. Sadly for me this isn't my favorite book by Dawn but I am still super excited to see what she is going to write in the future.

UPDATE:
Ok, I know I just read this in April BUT I have the audiobook now and I have to listen to it. I have to see if the creep level translates over or if it’s even more atmospheric.

I listened to this book in Audible and highly suggest you do the same. The narrorators were amazing and boosted the creepy level all the way up. This book played out like a movie in my head. It had demons, devils, and witches. It had it all.

I read this for an experiment I did on my YouTube channel where my best friend picked out my tbr. This book was straight up CREEPY. I liked having several different story lines to follow throughout this book. It made it an exciting experience and I liked seeing how it all came together in the end. The one thing that I feel iffy about is that it felt like this book was too busy. I tend to like books that are that way, because it keeps me excited, but I think there is a limit and this one passed that limit. I found myself a little confused with certain things and wondering if I'd really understood everything that was happening. I'd say it deserves a re-read from me in order to be able to solidify my feelings.

I received an advance copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion whatsoever nor was I compensated in any way.
I have no idea why I read this in the middle of the night. I was definitely mildly spooked.
I read the ARC of this book so while the first 100 pages have all the artwork and such to give a vibe of the book, the rest of it is missing and I'm very interested in taking a look at the finished copy to see any of the artwork I've missed. In any case, even without the artwork, I was thoroughly spooked and full of dread while reading this book.
Teeth in the Mist follows three young women, with most of the story being told through the lens of Roan Eddington in 1851 and Zoey in present day. Both of them arrive at Mill House in Wales at the beginning of the story for different reasons. Roan has been handed into the custody of the owner of Mill House, Dr. Maudley, after her father's death for unknown reasons and Zoey goes to discover what happened to her father there in the house after his obsession lead him to the house and he left a changed man. The third young woman is Hermione who is the wife of the man who built Mill House and throughout the book, excerpts of her diary are given so as to show her story and how it intertwines with Roan and Zoey.
If you don't like books with demonic stories and like actual Christian lore kind of stuff, then turn back now. This book is based on the story of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe, as is quoted at the beginning of sections of this book and it really takes that early modern, "witches are of the devil" type stuff as a reality in this novel.
The most enamouring part of this novel is the story of Roan. She hints at a very unorthodox childhood at the beginning where she talks about how her father had taught her the language of the devil, but also forbade her to use it. She knows that there is something wrong with her and at Mill House, everything is coming to a climax and we are following Roan as she learns the truth about herself and also the history of Mill House.
Zoey's story is told more stylistically through her writings and also a transcription of the videos she makes of her hunt for the truth at Mill House. Somehow, Roan and Zoey are connected to the history of this house and the evil that lingers in it and Zoey's bits of the book are following not only her attempt to uncover what happened to her father, but also what happened to Roan since she is the only tangible person that she has been able to connect to the history of the house.
This is a scary book, but also I'm a bit of a wuss. It's very atmospheric and pulled me right into it. If this is your vibes for a book, then please by all means read it. If not, turn back now lol
tl;dr: witchy and spooky devil book with a stylistic storytelling

I feel bad for rating books on the lower side because I can’t understand what their point was but ummm I’m rating this on the lower side because I can’t understand what the point was. It was engaging, though a little slow. A nice cast of characters. But the two other years beside the 1850s one that were in the synopsis as perspectives were not fleshed out at all and shouldn’t have been pitched as part of the plot. The ending of all 3 stories wrapped up so quickly and unsatisfyingly. Maybe I’m not into the subject matter? I did like the feminist undertones Roan gave off.
