The River Has Teeth

Many thanks to HarperCollins and Edelweiss for the digital arc!

This was a bloody, witchy, queer, surprisingly poignant rollercoaster of a novel. I did enjoy Ghost Wood Song, although I found this one to be more gripping and better paced. It had a strong feminist message, a tender romance, and complex characters that I was invested in. Plus monsters and magic! I would recommend to older teens who enjoy stories that delve into both real and imagined horrors. (Read-alikes: Sawkill Girls, Wilder Girls, The Grace Year).
