Nothing But Blackened Teeth

4.5 stars

I buddy read this book with Luna. I mentioned in one of my week in books posts that I had no interest in reading this book until I saw Jonnys review a couple months ago talking about how much he disliked it. Yes, sometimes negative reviews make me really want to read a book. This was a pretty short book, so it was a quick read. Jonny makes valid points in his review, but I ended up really enjoying it. Maybe it's because I don't read a lot of this genre or maybe it's because I love romance and therefore enjoyed all the drama in this book I don't know. I knew nothing about the Japanese folklore this book is based on going into it and while I didn't know what some of the things were that were mentioned it didn't take away from my enjoyment of it. I felt like the ending was a little rushed and I wanted more. I definitely think this could have made for a great full-length novel because I was left wanting to know what happened after.
