THE DEBUT NOVEL FROM JENNI HOWELL
Boys with Sharp Teeth
Releasing Winter 2025
WE WERE LIARS meets THE RAVEN BOYS in this steamy, mind-bending YA debut about revenge, forbidden desires, and the sinister secrets lurking behind the walls of an elite boarding school.
Seventeen-year-old Marin James has spent her entire life living in the shadow of the exclusive Huntsworth Academy. And when her cousin’s dead body is found in a creek on school property, Marin knows exactly who’s to blame: Adrian Graves and Henry Wu, the enigmatic yet dangerously alluring leaders of the school’s social elite.
Swapping her ragged T-shirts for a crisp prep school uniform, Marin infiltrates Huntsworth to seek justice. But her quest is quickly muddied by a confusing attraction to her new life, and to the two dysfunctional and depraved boys who somehow understand her better than anyone ever has.
When Marin uncovers a dark secret the boys are hiding within Huntsworth’s ivied gates, the lines between right and wrong, love and hate, and the real and supernatural begin to crumble — and nothing is as it seems.
Welcome to Huntsworth Academy.
I am Jenni Howell.
