“I want to sleep, I want dreams to pull me from this world and make me forget. To stop the memories from swirling around me. To put an end to this ache that consumes me.”
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, when the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness.
Now, 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?
Have you ever had an experience with a book, where you just wish you could forget about it and re-read it just so you can get the first time reading feeling/experience again? Yeah that happened for me with this book.
I enjoyed this book and could barely put it down. I connected with the characters and I loved the fresh feel Carrie gave to zombies (Unconsecrated). Mary! Oh how I went through so many emotions with Mary! I would probably be exactly like her if I were in her situation, yet throughout reading this book I thought I would make different choices. Jed got on my nerves at first but redeemed himself. TRAVIS! HARRY! I wanted so bad for her to be able to live with them both. I didn’t have too good of feelings towards Cass but I got over that.
Overall, this book is fabulous and amazing. I suggest it to everyone, I’m so lucky I stumbled across this gem of a book.
(Only thing, beware of a cliffhanger)
