The forest of hands and teeth, by Carrie Ryan




Tho set in a future US, this world is unrecognizable as a virus plague has turned most people worldwide into zombies. Those humans remaining live in isolated pockets like Mary's village, where a chain-link fence protects the living from the living dead. the village is under constant seige from zombies, and when the fence is breached, Mary and Harry (her betrothed), Travis (her lover) and his betrothed, as well as her brother and his wife choose to escape into a fenced maze of paths, hoping to find a place they can survive.


The action is fast-paced and never predictable as the fugitives struggle against all odds to survive in a world where death is the only constant. This is the 1st of a trilogy, and CHS has them all.
