The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan

This is the third and concluding installment in this dystopian series. All the character from the previous books come full circle. Frustrating at times because I took up issue with one of the characters, you'll understand when you read it, trust me! Overall I'm so glad that this series has manifested itself to be pretty amazing. We follow Gabry and Catcher to the city with the purpose of finding Gabry's twin sister Annah whom Elias abandoned (yeah, I said it!).  I've mentioned before in my reviews that I hate giving too much away, so I won't!

Carrie Ryan truly captured the essence, to me, of what a good book is made up of: action, suspense and romance. The journey of these two sisters is gripping and tugs at your heart.  Throughout the book you have no idea what's going to happen next. Truly a roller coaster of a ride, you will not want to put this book down. Out of the three books my favorite was.... ALL of them!! Equally good and exciting. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Share with us your thoughts on this book, blog, or whatever your little heart desires!! Happy reading!!

The Dead Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan

This second book in The Forest of Hands and Teeth series, will answer many questions that you may of had at the end of the first book. We are once again emerged in Mary's world where the Unconsecrated (virus infected) swarm the earth. Gabry, the new protagonist in this 2nd book, is a 16 year old with an interesting tie to The Forest of Hands and Teeth. There are so many twists and turns in this book, that I was dizzy when I finished reading it. The characters have so much depth and you can't help but grow attached to them and will them to survive. Like Mary, Gabry has to deal with decisions that will break your heart. I found myself holding my breath through out the book and when I was done I wanted to read the next book right away!!! Except the third book in the series was not due out for another two months!!! Needless to say a week ago I finished the third in the series, which I will be reviewing soon, and can now move on with my life!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Carrie Ryan really knows how to tug at your heart strings with her gripping tale of a young girl who wants to love and be loved. Don't forget to comment on the book after you've read it, we really want to know what you think!     

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

Mary has lived in the forest her whole life. Her village, protected from the Unconsecrated (people who've returned because of a virus) by a fence designed not only to keep the infected out but keep the the villagers in. Mary hears about stories of the ocean from her mother and dreams that one day she'll see it too. Despite this looking like a zombie book it really is about a girl who is faced with growing up sooner than she should and  it's about her strength and will to survive, love and be loved. There are twists and turns until the end. I loved the characters in this book they have depth, vulnerability and you can easily relate to the complexity of the relationships! There's what I now term as a "LOVE SQUARE" that will make love triangles a thing of the past! There are three books in the series and they are equally as amazing as this first book. If you loved Katniss in the The Hunger Games, you will love Mary as well!!!
