Baby Teeth by Meg Grehan – Little Island
Little Island Books are greatly looking forward to sharing Meg Gregan’s new YA verse novel, Baby Teeth. A poetic study in passion that uses the tropes of vampire fiction to explore queer identity and desire, Baby Teeth is a unique, lyrical and fresh take on vampire lore that will surprise, charm and disarm the reader. Immy has been in love before – many times, across many lifetimes. But never as deeply,as intensely as this. It starts when Claudia offers her a yellow rose. Claudia has never loved like this before either. But then, she’s never been loved by a vampire before. But a love like this can’t last. 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.
