Gabry lives a quiet life. As safe a life as is possible in a town trapped between a forest and the ocean, in a world teeming with the dead, who constantly hunger for those still living. She’s content on her side of the Barrier, happy to let her friends dream of the Dark City up the coast while she watches from the top of her lighthouse. But there are threats the Barrier cannot hold back. Threats like the secrets Gabry’s mother thought she left behind when she escaped from the Sisterhood and the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Like the cult of religious zealots who worship the dead. Like the stranger from the forest who seems to know Gabry. And suddenly, everything is changing. One reckless moment, and half of Gabry’s generation is dead, the other half imprisoned. Now Gabry only knows one thing: she must face the forest of her mother’s past in order to save herself and the one she loves.--Goodreads
Carrie Ryan is beyond amazing!! I love her books and can't get enough of them. I want to let everyone know that this is not only a “Zombie” book because it is so much more that that. Yes, the presents of the zombies are always there but these books are truly about hope, love, and survival.

Carrie does such a fantastic job with her writing. She really draws you into her world and gets to the root of how life really is. It's all a huge struggle to survive, to over come huge obstacles and to make difficult decisions. I love the way she makes you feel the depths of Gabry’s dreams and desires then throws in a whole lot of twist and turns making her think about what it is she really needs in her life. I can't even begin to tell you the troubles that lie ahead for Gabry but it is a doozy of a ride from beginning to end.

I could not put this book down and scrammed at the end because I didn‘t want it to end. I need to know what happens next ASAP! Be sure to put this series in your TBR pile. You will not regret it!

  Quote:
"How do you handle it?" I ask her. Desperately needing to know, needing my mother's help to ease the pain inside. "What do you do when someone you love or think you might love or could love turns?"
