The River Has Teeth by Erica Waters

 

When Natasha’s sister goes missing she turns her loss into anger but when no one offers any help she turns to the last resort option- magic. 

Della’s family has lived in the Bend for generations creating spells for the locals desperate enough to use their magic. 

When Natasha shows up for help, Della knows it won’t be as simple as creating a potion.  She starts to wonder if the beast responsible for Natasha’s sister’s disappearance is someone really close to her, someone, she has bowed to protect, but how do you protect a monster? 

Falling for Natasha means deciding how far she’s willing to go. They become each other’s hope, with little to lose and more anger than the Bend can hold on to. 

If you like Holly Black or series like Truly Devious this fast-paced book is for you with strong characters, an intriguing plot, symbolism, magic, and a killer cover.
