Greenteeth by Molly O'Neill
4.5

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for access to Audio copy of this title.
This is the perfect cosy fantasy! the location (UK), mythological characters, witchiness, and strong characters with unlikely friendships and found family vibes are just scratching the surface of this one. This is what I had hoped Emily Wilde's would have been. It was refreshing to read something that didn't HAVE to have a romantic love interest. The relationships were deep and nuanced, and had interesting conversations about things like - if revenge is ever justified; the effect of fear on perceptions of people; what makes a person bad, "all the way bad" versus "just a little bit bad"; and how bad decisions can seem to be the right thing in the moment.
There was a couple of dips in the story when I felt less invested, but them moments were still beautifully written. 
As for the audio itself... The voice actor was well chosen and I enjoyed the audio. 
I would recommend this to readers that enjoy mythological characters, found family vibes, characters with depth and an unpredictable plot.
