Gabry lives a quiet life, secure in her town next to the sea and behind the Barrier. She's content to let her friends dream of the Dark City up the coast--home is all she's ever known and all she needs for happiness.
But life after the Return is never safe.
Gabry's mother thought she left her secrets behind in the Forest of Hands and Teeth, but like the dead in their world, secrets don't stay buried. And now, Gabry's world is crumbling.
In one reckless moment, half of Gabry's generation is dead, the other half imprisoned.
Now Gabry knows only one thing: if she has any hope of a future, she must face the forest of her mother's past.

The Dead-Tossed Waves
Gabry, the main character of this story, is lacking in the crazy-ass psycho department that her mother so nicely managed during her debut in The Forest of Hands and Teeth.
This story is about self-discovery. With Zombies.
Which actually makes a lot of sense.
In what I can only assume is stupidity gone rampant amongst teens, Gabry is convinced to go out past their safe border and into a closed and derelict theme park.
It isn't a spoiler when I tell you that things quickly turn to shit because, really, you can do the maths.
A group of stupid teens + possible zombie infested theme park = things quickly turning to shit.
Very simple maths and the authors of the horror genre have taken such delight in viciously murdering poorly behaving teenagers that this is nothing new.
After this incident, Gabry's life falls apart piece by piece until the only thing that can fix it is a zombie adventure!
I pity anyone caught in a zombie uprising with me. I consider that sign fair warning that if there are zombies around, I am not above using your soft, gooey flesh to slow them down and aid my escape!
Which was rather disappointing because, in the first novel, people seemed to share this philosophy.
Yet this group of zombie victims are unfortunately kind, brave and willing to face a zombie horde to protect those that they love. It's annoying. It makes for a surprisingly goreless zombie novel.
Not ONCE does a zombie baby get tossed out a third story window.
What are you doing to us Ryan?
How am I supposed to ENJOY a novel when I'm pitying the damn antagonist and its mindless horde?
Well, actually, I still managed to really enjoy this novel but still...
More brains, Ryan!
