About this listen

 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. Death & Dying Depression & Mental Health Difficult Situations Emotions & Feelings Literature & Fiction Romance Science Fiction & Fantasy

Critic reviews

"Beautiful, romantic, horrifying, and heartbreaking." —Jennifer Lynn Barnes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Inheritance Games series.

"Ryan returns with a companion to her critically acclaimed debut, The Forest of Hands and Teeth...Readers are sure to be hooked, as this novel also retains Ryan's gripping storytelling style and engaging prose." —Publishers Weekly

"The second book in Ryan's zombie series moves the story ahead in some surprising ways as it introduces compelling characters. Readers will be up late with this one, turning pages and biting their nails." —Romantic Times
