51 - The Dead Tossed Waves

Finished The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan. This is a companion novel to The Forest of Hands and Teeth, and I think I preferred this one.

Partial book jacket synopsis:

"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 while she watches from the top of her lighthouse. Home is all she's ever known, and all she needs for happiness.

But life after the Return is never safe, and there are threats even the Barrier can't hold back."

This book is a lot less about the zombies (or "mudo," as they are called in this book) and more about living your life without fear. Gabry is a good and believable heroine and I hope if there is another book in the series, she's the main character.

This book also changes a few of the things we knew from Forest of Hands and Teeth, so that was exciting, too. :) It's definitely creepy in parts, but it's not a horror novel.
