Gabry lives a quiet life, secure in her town next to the sea and behind the Barrier. She's content to let her friends dream of the Dark City up the coast--home is all she's ever known and all she needs for happiness.
But life after the Return is never safe.
Gabry's mother thought she left her secrets behind in the Forest of Hands and Teeth, but like the dead in their world, secrets don't stay buried. And now, Gabry's world is crumbling.
In one reckless moment, half of Gabry's generation is dead, the other half imprisoned.
Now Gabry knows only one thing: if she has any hope of a future, she must face the forest of her mother's past.
A good sequel that avoids retreading the same ground as The Forest of Hands and Teeth. It adds a few new elements that flesh out the world that it takes place in and made things more interesting (especially the zombie worshippers). It did crack me up that Gabrielle switched back and forth in her affections for Catcher and Elias so fast and frequently that she could have killed a few of the zombies by whirling their heads off, but I guess that's the obligatory YA love triangle.
