Publisher's summary

A young woman in need of a transformation finds herself in touch with the animal inside in this gripping, incisive USA Today bestselling novel from the author of Cackle and The Return.

Rory Morris isn’t thrilled to be moving back to her hometown, even if it is temporary. There are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant, estranged from the baby’s father, and needs support, so Rory returns to the place she thought she’d put in her rearview. After a night out at a bar where she runs into Ian, an old almost-flame, she hits a large animal with her car. And when she gets out to investigate, she’s attacked.

Rory survives, miraculously, but life begins to look and feel different. She’s unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silver—and suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. She’s changing into someone else—something else, maybe even a monster. But does that mean she’s putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside of her the key to acceptance?

This darkly comedic love story is a brilliantly layered portrait of trauma, rage, and vulnerability.

Critic reviews

"Such Sharp Teeth is wonderfully witty and wild. It's also heady and daring in how the story explores friend and family dynamics, the anger women aren't allowed to express within our culture, and the wounds that transform us against our will. The next full moon I see, I'll be rooting for Rory."–Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World and The Pallbearers Club

“Rachel Harrison’s razor sharp prose cuts straight to the bone. With its quick-witted dialogue and acutely human regard for its cursed characters, Such Sharp Teeth solidifies her spot as the alpha author of heartfelt horror. Never has a novel made me feel more like a chew toy and I loved every nibble of it.”–Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters

exactly what you hope for

for anyone who gets called the monster in your family when you just want them to be accountable. we are all werewolves I guess.

Super funny, not too scary, very heartwarming

Excellent narration and well worth the credit! The main character is complex but highly relatable. One of my recent favorites, and I’ll have to read Harrison’s other book now!

Fun but Rushed Werewolf Skice Of Life

Narrator’s performance was phenomenal. Story starts hard but loses steam toward the end. Still fun.

Her writing is wonderful

An interesting and fun book. It was slightly adolescent, and a bit less gripping and formed than her other novels, yet still, very good. And, of course, only an opinion.

Brilliant alliteration and a collection of books to enjoy, are giving the world a new, favorite, big time. What’s more, she’s a fantastic fiction horror fantasy writer, for our times

Absolutely incredible

This book had me hooked from start to finish. I would strongly recommend it! Would say it’s a nice mix of horror and dark humor.

Fun story!

I love werewolf stories and this one doesn’t disappoint.
The narrator is excellent, I’ll be looking for more that she does.

Glad this book popped on my facebook.

This was a great listen, I wonder if Mia is getting a book.. She’s a little interesting and crazy!

Werewolf Love Story

This was a different read for me, and I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the parallels between the sisters circumstances, although I thought it was a little much to compare being a werewolf to being a woman.... but overall, it was a fun read, good characters,and had some lovely turns of phrases by the author.

Another hit from Harris

A fun an interesting take on the werewolf sub genre. The main character, Rory battles with becoming a werewolf and maintaining relationships in the process. While this story is more lighthearted than horror, I enjoyed Harris' witty humor and writing style.

Fantastic werewolf . . . were-woman story!

I loved this story! It had really great character development, a little humor, some romance, and a fun storyline! Kristen Sieh did a superb job narrating unique and very appropriate voices. I wish it didn't end! I will be reading more from author Rachel Harrison - Hurry up and write your next novel!
