This is a companion to The Forest of Hands and Teeth. Gabry lives in a little town by the ocean and behind the Barrier. She lives in the lighthouse with her mother, Mary. Her life in Vista is all she's ever known and she likes her best friend Cira's brother, Catcher. When Gabry and her friends climb over the barrier into the abandoned amusement park, they are attacked by Mudo (zombies) and a few are infected, including Catcher. Gabry escapes before the Militia men show up and capture the rest of the teens. Now Catcher's dying and Gabry's worried. She goes back to the ruins to see him and she know that he has only days to live. Cira and four other are being sent to the Recruiters and 3 others are sentenced to die because they are infected. Gabry feels she should be one of them, but no, she wasn't caught.Then Gabry meets Elias, a mysterious boy who used to be in the Recruiters. She finds out that the dead-worshiping Soulers are in the ruins and Elias is part of them, but only because he needs to find his sister, Annah. She's falling for him now.
SPOILER ALERT: She finds out that Catcher's one of the extremely rare Immunes because after a week of being infected he hasn't died and Returned. Gabry (short for Gabrielle) also finds out that Mary's not really her mother, that she was found in the Forest. Mary leaves to go back to her village and Gabry covers for her. Eventually, she, Cira, Catcher, and Elias escape into the Forest for refuge and find the village. Mary and Harry are there and Gabry finds out who she really is. Annah is her sister. Her twin. Gabry is one of Jacob's daughters: Abigail.
They all leave the village being chased by the Recruiters and I won't spoil the ending anymore.
I did like this book. It was cooler than the first. I love zombie stories.
