Teeth by Kelli Owen

5.0

Teeth is a well-told little vampire story with big bite. In this particular tale, vampire is a derogatory word, and the ancient race of protein deficient humans that is now out in the public eye prefer to be called lamians. My favorite part of the story was Henry's, a school janitor who is not lamian, but desperately wants to be. There are many other characters and povs that we get to experience, such as lamian teens in various stages of coming into themselves, parents lamians, one of them being a detective. We also encounter the Lamplight Foundation, a secret society that has been in charge of keeping all the correct history of lamians over the years and now serves to guide and support new lamians through this newly awakened world. 


I really hope there is a sequel, as the ending is pretty open and we have only just seen the tip of the iceberg from the Lamplight Foundation and the newly lamian teens.
