art. Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable. Great suspense and found myself second guessing every thought I had continuously. Can’t wait to read what the author brings out next. Recommend reading.

: a grieving father trying to hold his family together after the death of his wife, only to be confronted by a sinister entity that “collects” more than just children’s baby teeth.This story shines in its emotional setup. Tim’s grief, exhaustion, and mental unraveling feel real and heartbreaking. The early chapters portray a father who’s barely holding himself together — the hallucinations, nightmares, dissociation, and hypervigilance all blend into a believable picture of a man pushed to his breaking point. When the supernatural element appears, it’s hard to tell whether Tim is losing his grip on reality or whether something truly monstrous is stalking his family, which creates a compelling tension.Where the story struggles is in its pacing and brevity. The concept has strong potential, but the short length doesn’t give the psychological or supernatural horror enough time to build. Key moments — the bag of teeth pulled from the lake, the Tooth Collector’s appearances, and the final confrontation — arrive abruptly and resolve just as quickly, leaving little room for dread or escalation. The ending feels particularly rushed, introducing new developments without fully deepening the mythology or emotional payoff.Overall, The Tooth Collector has a solid foundation and memorable ideas, especially in how it explores grief and paternal fear through horror symbolism. With more space to develop the atmosphere and supernatural rules, this story could become a much more impactful and unsettling read. I appreciate the creativity behind the concept and look forward to seeing how the author continues to grow in exploring psychological horror.Thank you for the ARC!
