Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw
4.0
After looking at some reviews, it appears a lot disliked it. At first, I was also a bit thrown off but I shifted my mindset after the first chapter.
This doesn't read like a novel to me, more like an episode of a television show where you get new people each time and it's just a story. Kind of how Supernatural has it's main storyline but each episode gives us a smaller plot line and characters to unravel, then never see again.
It's a pretty short read and its reads so flowery. It's riddled with metaphors and the like. It does read very beautifully if you enjoy that style.
I liked that we get a horror story wrapped up in a fairytale (rumor) surrounding a haunted palace. It was quick and crazy how it unfolded and I was just along for the ride. I thought it was interesting. I say if you like horror, especially the old cheesy horror, read this. Keep an open mind.
Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan-Tor/Forge for allowing me the advanced copy to read and give my own opinion in review.
