The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan


Gruesome, creepy and additively dark!


The Forest of Hands and Teeth is fantastically written. It is intense. The characters are well developed and easy to identify with. The storyline is like no other. Once you pick this novel, you will not be able to put it down.


This novel is full of many themes such as betrayal, love and obligation. The complex characters not only draw you into this story but make you a part of it.


This book keeps you guessing, everything is not what it seems....!


Run out and read this book, now!


Grade: A+


Synopsis [B&N]

In Mary's world there are simple truths. The Sisterhood always knows best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The Unconsecrated will never relent. And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth. But, slowly, Mary’s truths are failing her. She’s learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power, and about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. When the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, she must choose between her village and her future—between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded in so much death?
