Teeth in the Mist by Dawn Kurtagich
Before the birth of time, a monk uncovers the Devil's Tongue and dares to speak it. The repercussions will be felt for generations...
Sixteen-year-old photography enthusiast Zoey has been fascinated by the haunted, burnt-out ruins of Medwyn Mill House for as long as she can remember--so she and her best friend, Poulton, run away from home to explore them. But are they really alone in the house? And who will know if something goes wrong?
In 1851, seventeen-year-old Roan arrives at the Mill House as a ward--one of three, all with something to hide from their new guardian. When Roan learns that she is connected to an ancient secret, she must escape the house before she is trapped forever.
1583. Hermione, a new young bride, accompanies her husband to the wilds of North Wales where he plans to build the largest water mill and mansion in the area. But rumors of unholy rituals lead to a tragic occurrence and she will need all her strength to defeat it.
Three women, centuries apart, drawn together by one Unholy Pact. A pact made by a man who, more than a thousand years later, may still be watching...

When I first received an ARC from The Novl, I was drawn to this cover. This upside down world was fascinating to look at and peaked my interest as to the story that followed. I then read the blurb and discovered it was a legend of Faust retelling, which made me immediately need to start it.
In the first part of the ARC, there was such amazing graphics that added depth to the story. Unfortunately the artwork wasn't finished through the whole book, though the way the text in the book was designed added to the story also. (I loved it so much I bought a finished copy before I had finished the book.)
This story was GRIPPING. I was on the edge of my seat constantly and didn't want to put it down. I wanted to know how all the characters fit together and what was going to happen to Roan, Rapley, Emma, Seamus, Po, and most of all Zoey. If it wasn't for the fact I was out of the country I would have gobbled the whole book up in a day.
Starting this story, I didn't know that much about the Faust legend. I knew the basic premise of Faust selling his soul to the devil to live longer. The adventure Teeth in the Mist takes you on while retelling this old German legend is mind-blowing. The connections and details that Dawn creates throughout time is expertly written and so uniquely clever that it made you want to read another chapter and another chapter.
This book gave me dark, witchy, devilish vibes the whole way through. It has a lot of occult subjects and may not be suitable for people who have issues with devil worship, witchcraft, and that sort of thing. For people who have no problems with these subjects, I believe it was the perfect dark, spooky, ghost story, mystery. I would recommend this to everyone but especially to anyone who likes a dark, spooky, mystery.

Dawn Kurtagich is a writer of creepy, spooky and psychologically sinister YA fiction, where girls may descend into madness, boys may see monsters in men, and grown-ups may have something to hide.
By the time she was eighteen, she had been to fifteen schools across two continents. The daughter of a British globe-trotter and single mother, she grew up all over the place, but her formative years were spent in Africa--on a mission, in the bush, in the city and in the desert.
She has been lucky enough to see an elephant stampede at close range, a giraffe tongue at very close range, and she once witnessed the stealing of her (and her friends') underwear by very large, angry baboons. (This will most definitely end up in a book . . . ) While she has quite a few tales to tell about the jumping African baboon spider, she tends to save these for Halloween!
When she was sixteen, she thought she'd be an astronomer and writer at the same time, and did a month-long internship at Cambridge's prestigious Cavendish Laboratories.
She writes over at the YA Scream Queens, a young adult blog for all things horror and thriller, and she is a member of the YA League.
Her life reads like a YA novel.
*This book was received from TheNovl in exchange for an honest review.
