Forest of Hands and Teeth by Twiclipse |
| I began this book out of curiosity and found it to be at first interesting. However, as the plot progressed, there seemed to be a little too much death and it was depressing. I did discover that the second and third books were better, but I would overall say that it was an "okay" read. |
