Lute by Jennifer Thorne

4.0

Inspired by the Wickerman, this is a really compelling read. I found Nina, the narrator, to be fascinating and alluring. The story of Lute - an island that keeps its' residents safe in exchange for a sacrifice of 7 lives every 7 years - is a seductive one. I was hooked from the get go and read the bulk of the book over 2 days, desperate to know how things would play out.
