Summery:

At a very young age Annah and Elias left Annah's twin sister in the forest of hands and teeth by herself and when they went to go find her they managed to get lost. For many years Annah and Elias managed to roam around till the made it to the Dark City meanwhile Abigail Gabriel lived in Vista both leading different lives.

When they finally come together, they find themselves in trouble with the city being overrun by inconcecrated/Mudo (Zombies). With the help of Elias and Catcher they are sent with recruiters to a secure place where they can be safe... for a price. Since Catcher is immune to the infection he must help the recruiters gather supplies and foods and in exchange his friends have a safe place to stay. Soon enough Annah comes to realize they aren't safe as they thought they where and will try to come up with a way to get out. 


My say:

Where has this book been hiding? Just perfect. Finally a great zombie book from Carrie Ryan. The first two books should be chucked out the window and this book should just be the only one left. This book had loads of zombies, a decent amount of action and suspense to keep me wanting more. 

My favorite character is Annah, I love how courageous and selfless she was. She faced danger to help the ones she cares about and helps those who she doesn't even know. Shes also resourceful and smart coming up with ways to help escape when they where in trouble. Shes definitely a quick thinker and managed to narrowly escape many situations that should've left her dead. The only problem was her insecurities about how she looked. She compared her looks to her sister a lot and I just felt like screaming at her, that looks aren't important. I also loved how strong she was and how she didn't depend on any one to help her, She didn't play the victim  When she was in trouble she'd face it head on and take what ever consequence that came with it. She didn't like when she guys tried to fight her battles and defend her, she fought for herself.

So to those who haven't read this trilogy or what ever you'd call it, don't bother reading the first two just skip ahead to this book. The great thing about that too is if you ever do actually take my advice and do just that you wouldn't be missing anything because there is pretty much a recap of what happens in the past books when they talk about old memories.

Highly Recommend!
