Margot and Mama have lived by the forest since Margot can remember. When Margot isn\u2019t at school, they spend quiet days together in their cottage, waiting for strangers to knock on their door. Strays, Mama calls them. Mama loves the strays. She feeds them wine, keeps them warm. Then she satisfies her burning appetite by picking apart their bodies.<\/p>\n
But Mama\u2019s want is stronger than her hunger sometimes, and when a white-toothed stray named Eden turns up in the heart of a snowstorm, little Margot must confront the shifting dynamics of her family, untangle her own desires and make a bid for freedom.<\/p>\n

This is another book I\u2019ve seen all over TikTok. It sounded like the kind of twisted delight I could get lost in so I had to read it. There\u2019s only one copy across all the libraries in my region and I\u2019ve been waiting weeks for this. It was worth the wait. I really loved this book. It\u2019s a mesmerising horror. It\u2019s dark, twisted and delightful. I devoured it. I loved this book and would recommend it.<\/p>\n
