Jenny Greenteeth is the monster in the village lake, but when a witch, Temperance, is thrown in and doesn't even bother to try to save herself, Jenny gets curious about what's going on outside her lake. Temperance and Jenny must work together, along with the goblin Backus, to root out the evil that's infected the village and could be coming for Jenny's lake and all of Britain next.

I really loved the beginning of this novel as Jenny and Temperance make sense of what's happening in the village. I thought the quests were a little slow in the middle, but the ending brought it all back together in a way I really enjoyed.

Thanks to Netgalley and Orbit for an early copy.
