**If you haven’t read previous books, don’t read!**


Gabry is used to a quiet life. She’s used to living with her mother, Mary, in the lighthouse and following a routine. She’s used to being somewhat normal. But, everything changes when one night she takes a risk with her friends and goes over the Barrier. One moment changes her whole life. Everything is unbelievable. Also, Gabry learns that everything she once knew isn’t what it seems. She must journey through the Forest to save her friends and find out answers to the unknown. Will she ever know love? Will everything be as it used to be? Did that one night outside of the Barrier mess everything up?
Seriously, I love this book and I love Carries Ryan. I really would love to know what goes on inside her head because her books are insane! I love the Mudo/Unconsecrated! This book took me a while to get into. The same thing happened with the Forest of Hands and Teeth. But anyway, I’m super excited that there is a third book coming out spring 2011, which, in my opinion is way too far away! But I guess I’ll try to be patient. The third book is called Dark and Hollow Places.

The Forest of Hands and Teeth house the most disgusting and deadliest things, the Unconsecrated, who are basically walking dead people. Zombies. And all they want to do is Infect more people, devour more flesh.
All Mary wants is the love she lost. Being recently orphaned, abandoned by her brother, and being rejected for marriage; she has no other choices. She joins the Sisterhood. She still hopes for life beyond the gates surrounding her village.
Then, something totally unexpected throws Mary’s world into chaos. She has to choose. She has to choose between her hopes and dreams, the ones she loves and the ones who love her. Between her village and the world beyond the gates. She still hopes.
How can you hope when every day, you wake up to nothing but death surrounding you?
Wow, all I have to say is wow. At first, I didn’t expect this book to be good at all. When I first started reading this, I thought this book was going to be about a girl becoming a nun-type woman of the Sisterhood while moping around about her life. But it turned out to awesome! I love The Forest of Hands and Teeth, the idea of the zombie people, and I can’t wait to read the next book!
