The River Has Teeth by Erica Waters
4.0
Mistery, creepy woods, sapphic, magic and a slice of fantasy this combo made me give to thid book 4.5/5
The Magic did not disappoint me. I loved every chapter that featured the woods, the river and its magic that somehow turns and creates monsters. And speaking of twists, I didn't see that one coming. I thought it was great but I don't want to give away any spoilers so I'm not going to say anything other than READ IT.
I loved how Della's witch skills worked with the hidden, underground root, seed and fungal webs system. This fascinates me, so I absorbed every bit of these chapters that I could.
I also loved the call to action to amplify the voices of the lost girls. I got teary-eyed when the victims of sex trade, especially those from marginalized communities** were mentioned in the story. Simultaneously, Natasha's rage kept me from reading her chapters, but by the end, I loved how she learned to tone it down for good.
**: those excluded from mainstream social, economic, educational, and/or cultural life. Examples of marginalized populations include, but are not limited to, groups excluded due to race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, language, and/or immigration status.
