Baby Teeth – "Gloriously queer" (Kirkus starred review) by Megan Grehan

A YA verse novel about LGBTQ+ desire, identity -- and vampires.

From the multi-award winning author of>The Deepest Breath (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2021), a Junior Library Guild Selection.

The blood
Feeds the hunger
That threatens everything

It starts when Claudia offers her a yellow rose.
Immy has been in love before - many times, across many lifetimes. But never as deeply, as intensely as this.
The forbidden thirst for blood runs deep in Immy. And within her mind clamour the voices, of all the others she has been, their desires, and their wrongs.

A fresh, dark take on the vampire myth and desire, Baby Teeth shows vampires haunted by their pasts and memories, where immortality is not one long life but a broken patchwork of different experiences. It will twine around your heart and bite, ever so gently. I adored it. -- Helen Corcoran, author of Queen of Coin and Whispers
