 Let me start by saying that I haven't read The Forest Of Hands and Teeth. Why? Because I don't read the small letters, and so, never saw that the book says A companion to The Forest Of Hands and Teeth. Luckily, I completely understood this book. Sure, there were things that weren't fully explained and yeas, I have a few questions but, all in all, I could've not have been a series and still work out perfectly well. 
 When I first read the summary of the book I thought, Zombies? Seriously? But WOW, the way Carrie Ryan describes the world and takes care of the emotions of her characters makes it all just so Believable! I mean, I had Goosebumps practically the whole book ^^. The only thing that at times annoyed me was Gabry - our main character - at times all I wanted to say to her was to suck it up and keep going. Though this was also a pro 'cause, almost always we have strong kick A. characters, so seeing Gabry was like fresh air. And Realistic. We're not all made of steel and Splenda. Some of us are made of sweet sugar and Jelly. 
 Currently I am Dying to know what happens next. 'Cause even though it didn't end like, super shocking or as a complete cliffhanger. I. Still. NEED. To. Know. O.O 
 New Fan of Carrie Ryan. Beautifully written. Heart Breaking. Heart Racing. The Dead-Tossed Waves is a must-zombie-read.... Preferably after you read The Forest Of Hands And Teeth xD
