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?

The Forest of Hands and Teeth is an amazingly intricate zombie novel that will entertain and horrify readers from 14-40 years! The author takes you on a journey beyond young Mary's village where she was raised, out into the wilderness that is writhing with bodies of the Unconsecrated. Mary has lived a very sheltered life in her village but just beyond the fence, real danger lurks. The Unconsecrated are always standing, reaching, waiting, for their opportunity to eat flesh. So when the fence falters, and the Unconsecrated make their way into the peaceful village, Mary and a small group of survivors have no other choice but to enter the mazework of footpaths throughout the forest, always keeping one step ahead of the zombies thirsty for their blood! - Erin (QBD)
