Kat and Mitch are twin siblings who grew up diving with their parents through various bodies of water. But there was one body of water their parents had warned them about, where something evil lurked.

 

Kat grew up shrugging the whole thing off, eventually losing her love for the water. Her twin, meanwhile, was captivated by the tales, and when he has the opportunity to lead a group of explorers on a deep dive expedition in those same waters – well, let’s just say that the opportunity to actually find the evil thing strikes, but not in a good way. Worried about her brother after he is reported missing, Kat sets out with her girlfriend, Jules, to find him.

 

Even though Kat and Mitch are twins, they are different in their own ways. Mitch loves exploring the ocean long into adulthood, whereas Kat does not. And while Kat is more cautious in life, Mitch has a strong sense of daring and mischief.

 

When a sea-hardy woman named Pauline offers to give Kat and Jules a ride out onto the ocean to help them find Mitch, they take her up on the offer. Kat is wary of some kind of “demon teeth” lurking in the waters, but Pauline assures her that there is likely a logical explanation to her brother’s disappearance. All the same, Pauline reminds Kat that the sea can be unforgiving. She also points out that, when it comes to the sea, “shit lives in it. And that shit gets hungry.”

 

It does indeed get hungry, and in this case, something evil is waiting in the ocean, literally starving and ready for its next meal.

 

The stories about the demon teeth are nothing but the stuff of urban legends – or are they?

 

Her Teeth, Like Waves is a dark tale of things better left unearthed, especially the things that can be said to be buried in the ocean. Those who ignore the warnings of what lay in the sea do so at their own peril. The next time you are out on the ocean, tread carefully, for you never know what sort of monster hides within those waves.

 

 

Five stars.
