Sharp Teeth

One of my goals in 2021 is to read more. See other books I've read or listened to here.

I’ve had Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlow for many years. It was hiding in my basement box books.

Anthony takes a job as a dog catcher. Lark is a lawyer and he is the leader of a werewolf pack. She is Lark’s right and girl and holds the pack together until she falls in love with Anthony.

I must have gotten this book many years ago bc it’s from barnes and nobles and I don’t remember getting it at a books sale or thrift shop. When I picked this book up in Feb I didn’t realize that it was a were wolf book and I didn’t realize it was a book written in verse. This is the first book I’ve written in verse and I really enjoyed it! Barlow is also very clearly into music and created a playlist to go along with the book in the post script part of the book. He definitely seems to want to be a rockstar with this book which works at some points but also dates the book in many ways. Despite the author trying a little hard at times, I really enjoyed this story. The verse style gives you a unique perspective into each of the characters. I liked the way that there was many groups of characters that all came together at some point and in some way. I thought the the verse style might be difficult to read. But the story was compelling and interesting enough to move the action and the style added to that effect. I would recommend this book to those who like supernatural dramas, werewolf book fans, readers who are new to novels in verse, and those who like books set in California.

Have you read Sharp Teeth? Have you read other books written in verse?
