The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan --- Book 2

So, the next book in the summer challenge that I decided to read was The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan, which is the second book in the Forest of Hands and Teeth.

When I first bought these books, I actually did not know that they were about zombies. After I got into the first one I realized that the Unconsecrated or Mudo, in this book, were just another word for zombies! 

I think that Carrie Ryan did a great job writing these books! I believe that it would be really hard to have a good story line going and still include the whole zombie theme.

ISBN: 0385736855

In the beginning of the book, you come to find out that the main character is not the same from the first book. Instead, this book focuses on her daughter, Gabry. 

Gabry has always been afraid of the Mudo and has never wanted to leave her piece of land that her village lives on. But the other teenagers her age are very adventurous and curious of the world around them.

One day, her friends decided to go visit a old, abandoned theme park. Gabry didn't want to go, but does because the boy that she likes eggs her to go (and I mean come on, if you like someone, you are at least going to PRETEND to be like everyone else if he is around =) ).

The Mudo has never been around their village, so Gabry decides to go, even though if any of them get caught, they would be in big trouble if the rest of the Council caught them. 

Everything was perfect! The guy that she liked hung out with her the whole time, they held hands, and even kissed! This was Gabry's best day ever. Until at Breaker comes towards them.

Breakers are zombies that get separated from the rest of the herd. When this happens, they become faster and more powerful than most Mudo.

This book is great. You will feel a wide range of emotions as Ryan takes you through this post-apocalyptic world. Many things can happen - even things you least expect!
