The Forest of Hands And Teeth


In Mary's world, there are simple truths. The sisterhood always knows the best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The Unconsecrated will never relent. And you must always mind the fence the suffounds the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth.
But slowly, Mary's truths are failing her. She's learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets. And when the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. Now 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 by so much death?
Powerful. Intelligent. Dark. Bewitching. Sexy. And Scary, are all things I felt while reading this book and many authors of other books can agree. From Scoot Westerfeld, author of Extras and Peeps, to Melissa Marr author of Wicked lovely and Ink Exchange, to Classandra Clare author of City of Bones and Justive Larbalestier author of How to Ditch Your Fairy.
If you like a good compelling book that you wont want to put down, this is the book for you. (Hannah, Junior)
