What Big Teeth by Rose Szabo


Having read the preview "What Big Teeth" by Rose Szano, I had expected a coming of age story.  Though right, I was not nearly correct in the fact that I missed the huge elements of mystery and suspense as I followed Eleanor through her family of monsters as she tried to come to terms with who she was, despite the missing chunks in her memory, and with the fact that her family had previously abandoned her.  She has to decide whether to abandon the family who had sent her away or to save them from the mistakes she herself had made.  Without giving too much away, it is a rollercoaster ride of emotions as Eleanor has to figure out the truth amongst all the secrets hidden within the Zarrin family.

Why did her grandmother die?  What happened when she was a child that got her sent away?  What were the tarot cards trying to warn her about?  Who are the true monsters?  Why did the other family members dislike and fear her mother's mom, her other grandmother?  Does she deserve to be loved?  Who truly loves her?  What path should she take?  Are the feelings she feels true?  Who is Arthur? 

There are so many questions to be answered as Eleanor comes of age and struggles to figure things out.  I highly recommend this story for those who love fantasy and suspense.

As a cosplayer, there are so many characters to portray.  The wolf shapeshifters, the elegant grandmother, the polyps filled mother, the glasses wearing Arthur, etc.  It would take a really skilled cosplayer to do these characters justice.  Either way, definitely give this story a chance.  It holds a lot more than it seems.

I did not need to contact the seller and everything was packaged well. Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-42QM_6W0o About the Product: I chose to review the blue Ancord Bluetooth Speaker from FREEWISE but it actually comes in three colors: blue, rose gold, and silver. The speaker comes with a connector so you can hang it off your phone, a charging cord (though it can be any mini USB cord as my phone charger works perfectly with it), and directions. It is pretty easy to set up even without the directions (I should know as I accidentally left the direction

The Scarlet Alchemist by Kylie Lee Baker

  I received an ARC of this book.  I originally noticed it because of it's beautiful cover, which led me to read the description and request the ARC. When Dreams Aren't What You Expect Them To Be The Scarlet Alchemist is a fantasy that is set in a China like world when alchemy is real.  You get a taste of Chinese culture in a fantasy setting.  Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist to help her family beat poverty.  She fights her way up to achieve her dream, only supported by her cousins and a powerless prince, as everyone one else tries to continuously tear her down. Only for reality to come crashing down on her hard.  Without spoiling the story, it's a page turner where you simultanously root for Zilan, want her to save the world, while totally understanding both the good and bad choices she makes to survive.  It's an interesting fantasy that really plays on the readers' emotions as Zilan faces many moral choices that determine who she becomes. I look forward
