MEET HANNA: Seven-year-old Hanna is a sweet-but-silent angel in the eyes of her adoring father Alex. He’s the only person who understands her. But her mother Suzette stands in her way, and she’ll try any trick she can think of to get rid of her. Ideally for good.
MEET SUZETTE: Suzette loves her daughter, but after years of expulsions and strained home schooling, her precarious health and sanity are weakening day by day. She’s also becoming increasingly frightened by Hanna’s little games, while her husband Alex remains blind to the failing family dynamics. Soon, Suzette starts to fear that maybe their supposedly innocent baby girl may have a truly sinister agenda.
A battle of wills between mother and daughter reveals the frailty and falsehood of familial bonds in award-winning playwright and filmmaker Zoje Stage’s tense novel of psychological suspense, Baby Teeth.
“Unnerving and unputdownable, Baby Teeth will get under your skin and keep you trapped in its chilling grip until the shocking conclusion.”—New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline
“We Need to Talk About Kevin meets Gone Girl meets The Omen...a twisty, delirious read that will constantly question your sympathies for the two characters as their bond continues to crumble.”—Entertainment Weekly

Reviews
Creepy
5By _Tim_Young_Good read, It took me about a day and a half to finish.The best!
5By osamallamaThis was such a good book! Once you started reading you can’t stop, my favorite book!Went to the thrift store the second I finished it
1By celewis27It’s We Need To Talk About Kevin but poorly written and unwilling to commit to a protagonist. Ultimately it’s just a story about two mentally ill women fighting over a man while shopping at Trader Joe’s and calling each other cringy Swedish pet names.Garbage
1By Captain AspenThe second worse book I have ever read. Ridiculous plot line. Totally unbelievable nonsense. Please don’t buy this garbage.Great short read
4By lacierooVery good short read, I was engaged in the storyline right till the end.GREAT BOOK!
5By vshowersThis was a great read. I highly recommend !Cliff hanger
4By lianakoveI LOVED the book, but with the ending you need a sequel and I looked it up and she’s not planning a sequel.Hate the ending
3By katsgdgenudhdbdIt had me invested. It fell like I kept waiting for a climax that was never received... Maybe there will be a second because it for sure left me wanting WAY more.So smart and nerve racking ! I want more!
5By goodciccioLoved this book. Chilling. Excellent doorway inside a bad seeds mind.Baby Teeth
5By Jennifer518Captivating, compelling, believable and well written. It captures the turmoil and self doubt of motherhood. And the realistic reasoning that not all mothers like being a mother. Hanna’s evil almost seems incidental. But her evil is realistic and believable as well. What a great book.
