Rating: 5/5
Spoilers: Light
First off, I listened to this story on audiobook and at first I was worried I wouldn’t understand the accent of the woman who was reading, but I am so happy I continued because it added so much to the story! The narrators name is Emma Rydal and I adored her voice! I adored this absolutely vivid story and fell in love with these characters.
The Lamb follows Margot and her Mama who live secluded away from others. One way they get by is by eating strays…no, not animals. Strays are what they call lost people that wander in their mist. Both Margot and Mama enjoy more than anything to have a good stray to eat. Strays being men, women, and children. This was their life, until one day, a stray woman entered their home and caught the Mama’s interest.
In the Lamb, we follow Margot’s point of view as she watches her mom fall in love with this woman named Eden and watches how their lives slowly start to change. In some good and possibly bad ways for Margot. This book was so beautifully written and just left my heart shattered and full at the same time. There were definitely some horrifying descriptions and images that will not leave my mind (those damn fingers)!
That ending…that ending is all I’m going to say. I could see a lot that happened was coming but damn…so well written that it still broke me. I AM BROKEN AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
