bardbrojosh 's review for:
Cutting Your Teeth
by Caylan MacRae
Thank you to NetGalley, Victory Editing, and Caylan MacRae for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
This is the story of Ezra, a guy who is on the run and always looking over his shoulder and what happens when fate has him collide with a mysterious person who offers to help, while bringing in a whole new world of danger full of the paranormal (and a little bot of romance).
I really enjoyed this debut novel by Caylan MacRae. I read the majority of it (about 80%) in one sitting, which as someone who doesn’t like to be stuck sitting around, is a testament to how much I enjoyed reading it and getting lost in these characters.
I’m sucker (not the bloodsucker vampire kind though) for the found family trope and get plenty of it from this. Loved the character interactions and dynamics. I thought the main cast was well written and had enough depth to them and am interested in seeing more of the side characters we briefly met, along with the world itself being built upon even more in the future.
My only minor gripe would be it felt like Ezra opened up a bit too fast / was too trusting for a guy who had been on the run and paranoid for so long but it didn’t effect my enjoyment of the book and on the plus side, it did mean important backstory stuff was revealed at a healthy pace (as I’m not a fan about vague answers that aren’t answered until the end of the book).
Overall I loved reading this and will be keeping a eye out for any future books in the series and future works by Caylan MacRae! Also thought the cover art looked really good as well.
