Such a Pretty Smile by Kristi DeMeester

5.0

Such a Pretty Smile is a standalone horror novel by author, Kristi DeMeester. This book was a lot of fun to read. I was worried when I saw this was advertised as ‘feminist’ but it wasn’t heavy handed at all and the themes were well portrayed. It’s hard to say much of the plot without spoilers but suffice to say this book offers up both psychological and supernatural delights. The plot would suit fans of horror but also people who enjoy psychological drama or domestic suspense novels. The characters are detailed, complex and relatable. The story is told by two characters (multiple POV) across differing timelines so you get to see how events in the past impact on the characters in the here and now. I really enjoyed this horror gem and would read more by this author.
Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for an ARC of this book.
