About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

I absolutely loved this book I have 5 people wanting to read it after me at some points I almost cried and other parts I wanted to scream I would read this 1,000,000 times before I get rid of it and I understood everything even though I didn't read the first book

This was such a good second book. I loved Gabry. I also loved getting to see Mary and Harry again. The story was so good. I cannot wait to read the next book.

Great story and incredibly written. Enjoyed it more then The Forest of Hands and Teeth. Filled with more adventure and excitement.
