Official Summary:
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.
Review:
I liked this book better than The Forest of Hands and Teeth. The plot was more enjoyable and.... just better. Plus we learn more about the disease that caused humans to become Uncosecrated/Mudo/Infected. I am fascinated by it! (I have said previously that I enjoy messed up stories, I wasn't kidding!)
The main character, Gabry, is slightly less annoying than her mother, Mary, but not by much.
Like the first book, there is love triangle in this book, but it is a good one. :)
I don't wan to say too much more.... it's better to find out for yourself! Read it!
AND there is supposed to be a third book released in 2011. My bank account = Borders Bookstore income. Haha!
