Synopsis

From an outstanding new voice in cozy fantasy comes Greenteeth, "a joyful, warm-hearted" (H. G. Parry) tale of fae, folklore, and found family, narrated by a charismatic lake-dwelling monster with a voice unlike any other, perfect for fans of Travis Baldree and TJ Klune.

Beneath the still surface of a lake lurks a monster with needle sharp teeth. Hungry and ready to pounce.

Jenny Greenteeth has never spoken to a human before, but when a witch is thrown into her lake, something makes Jenny decide she's worth saving. Temperance doesn't know why her village has suddenly turned against her, only that it has something to do with the malevolent new pastor.

Though they have nothing in common, these two must band together on a magical quest to defeat the evil that threatens Jenny's lake and Temperance's family, as well as the very soul of Britain.

She has a sump where she can swim through a dark channel and come up in her small cave. There she sleeps and collects th......more

Goodreads review by Genoveva on December 12, 2024

This was absolutely delightful! Greenteeth is a story about a lake monster, a witch, and a goblin going on a heroic quest. Along the way, they fight monsters, chase unicorns, and learn to trust each other. Like any good modern fairy-tale, it has a lot of heart, a lot of humour, and a lot of adventur......more

"A charmingly monstrous debut."—T. Kingfisher, author of Nettle and Bone

"Greenteeth is a completely delightful tale, full of warmth, wit and legendary adventure. As comforting and as moreish as a cup of tea and a packet of chocolate biscuits."—Francesca May, author of Wild and Wicked Things

"Greenteeth is a breathtaking quest through the wild roads and deep lakes of ancient England, shot through with dark folklore and darker magic. An unforgettable tale of unlikely friendships, impossible choices and the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters."—Holly Race, author of Six Wild Crowns

"In all my life, I've never loved such a flesh-eating fae monster as Molly O'Neill's Greenteeth. This coziest of swamp villains is an ally to witches, an enemy to elven airbags, and a role model to goblins everywhere. She stands proud with the likes of Granny Weatherwax and the Wizard Howl against the creeping evils of this world. Drown me, Jenny, and pick your teeth with my bones - only, let's be friends."—C. S. E. Cooney, World Fantasy Award winning author of Saint Death's Daughter

"An enchanting folkloric fantasy infused with fae magic and Arthurian legend, Greenteeth gives us a morally grey heroine with bite you can't help but root for. I was hooked from start to finish."—Alicia Jasinska, author of The Dark Tide
