*Actual rating is a 3.5*I really loved The Forest of Hands and Teeth. It is entirely different from anything I've ever read and I found myself swept up in the intricate world of the Unconsecrated and those who fought to survive.I expected to like this book as much as the first one. Quality-wise, ...
Why does every book always have to end in a happy ending? For real...it's not realistic and entirely annoying. The world is overrun by zombies yet you somehow have all the supplies you need to make an escape and your captors are not able to catch you. Everything is just perfectly in place to make...
This was probably my favorite book of the series. I really liked Annah's personality at times and sometimes I hated it but I really enjoyed having the book in her point of view. Is it just me or did Gabry go through some pretty quick character development or did the author forget her portrayed pe...
I appreciate seeing a bit into Tabitha's past and understanding why she's as cold-hearted as she was. The ending even makes sense, and explains why she's so rigid with rules later in life. But she doesn't seem fleshed out in the beginning, or her romance. People just have attraction, she doesn't ...
Infinity Ring Divide and Conquer was a great book. It is the 2d book in the Infinity Ring series. In this book Sara, Dak, and Riq use the infinity ring (a time traveling ring) and go back to the war between the Vikings and Paris. While Dak is captured by the Vikings and forced to work for them Sa...
Better continuity than the first book but it makes the same references to something from the French Revolution which is never explained in either the first or second book. It leaves a gap that really needed to be explained.I do find it interesting that different authors are used for each book. ...
The wood reinforcing the door is in splinters, half of it missing, and they seep through the hole like blood from a wound.A thousand thoughts run through my head. How to stop them. How to fight them. Where to go. How to hide. How to survive. Travis's leg and Argos and the ladder and the attic.Tra...
We left Catcher back in the ruins—at dusk he’ll bring the Souler Mudo to the Barrier and push them over. They’ll spread through Vista, their moans signaling a breach—enough of a distraction that Elias and I will be able to break into the Council House and rescue Cira.It’s just turning high tide b...
He’s mewling in agony as a throng of bodies slowly descends on him. A few drops of blood drip from my fingers into the mass below and as one they raise their heads to me, mouths wet and smeared red.They stumble to the wall and scrape their fingers against the stone, their nails cracking and skin ...
BEFORE “Why don’t we call them zombies?” Iza asked Beihito one day. It wasn’t long after her father had taken over the island and hired Beihito to run the plantation and keep an eye on his only child. “It’s not respectful,” Beihito said. They were standing near the edge of...
There was nothing particularly scary about him, he just appeared to be drunk but otherwise fine, so we carefully made our way around him and continued to our house a few blocks away.We joked about how the way he’d been staggering along made him look like a zombie and it wasn’t until we’d pulled i...
Nicky’s the one who actually lived there—or at least she and her dad moved in there when her mom kicked them out. She was the one who suggested we take shelter there. It’s not like we had a lot of other options and it seemed like a good idea at the time. But isn’t that always the case? The ideas ...
It was the first and last time I ever set foot in a real school. My mother said she was tired of moving around and decided it was time to settle down and “plant some roots.” Even at six, I knew it wouldn’t last, but I was willing to take what I could get. That’s what you do when you don’t get muc...
And if that meant leading the Time Warden right to where Rollo and his men were clambering into their ships, so be it. He had to tell Sera about his parents. If the knot on Gorm’s head was as fresh as it looked, they’d been here only an hour or two ago. They could still be...
It’s the first time since being rescued I’ve let someone hold me while I cried. But I don’t allow myself to draw too much comfort from it. Because if there’s anything I’ve learned from my time adrift, it’s that you can’t depend on anyone. They will all abandon you in the e...
