The Forest of Hands and Teeth

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Mary lives in a walled village in what once was the United States. Outside the walls are the unconsecrated, once alive human beings, but now "infected" and banished to outside the village. Unconsecrated are forced to fight for food - human flesh. The only way to kill an unconsecrated "person" is to cut its head off. Mary's father is missing and assumed to be unconsecrated and her mother was infected and chose to become unconsecrated in order to find her husband. Mary, despite knowing the danger involved is determined to leave her village and find what is beyond her village walls. This is the first book in a trilogy.
