Summery:

Gabry has lived her life safe in a light house between the forest of hands and teeth and the ocean. Happy with her life in the the town that she grew up in, leaving the town was never something wanted. One day her friends decide they want to cross the barriers to have a little fun and visit an abandoned amusement park. They managed to convince Gabry to join them despite her objections. They knew of the dangers and still chose to go and end up finding themselves in trouble. Friends were bitten and turned, some friends were caught by the officials but Gabry ran abandoning her friends. From that day on Gabrys life has changes as one after another things are turning for the worse, then she meets a stranger and ends up running from the life she once knew. 

My Say

If I had to compare The forest of hands and teeth and this book I would have to say that the first book to this series is the best. This book really was a disappointment. The first book I liked, its wasn't that big of a deal though. I was hoping for the best when I came to read this book and I found that this book isn't even something I would recommend to another or read again. I'm the type of person that when I start a series I don't stop till the end and this book has got me thinking whether I should trudge forth and get to the the last book of this trilogy (If this is a trilogy). I keep hearing good things about the third book so I might read it and hopefully it'll be good.

First of all I didn't like Gabry I thought that she was coward and she made a lot of stupid choices and could've helped save her friends from this situation. There wasn't enough conflict to keep me interested  There was no suspense. A lot of things were predictable that I kept getting bored and putting it down. I felt like it was a book I've read before, and if you've read the first book you'll pretty much know what happens in the second book  because everything is pretty much the same just different names and places. Both stories had the love triangle  an equally annoying main character who is a coward or selfish, they both and both are chased into a another town by either the dead or living. It just felt like there could've been more I enjoyed the first because it was unique but it was still a good but but the second is OK.

If you want a summery of the book check out this review its the greatest. I couldn't help but laugh because this review is true. Architeuthis's review.

If you are reading this series or considering it I don't recommend you read this book. Its not that interesting and there are thousands of other books that are like 100x better then this.

If you still want to get a copy of the book to see for yourself you can get it on: Amazon Paperback or Kindle
