The Dark and Hollow Places is an action/adventure/dystopian/love story that offers something for almost any reader. Carrie Ryan’s third book in the Forest of Hands and Teeth series focuses on Annah, living in the Dark City. Annah has survived on her own for several years since her friend Elias left her to join the Recruiters. She has managed to get by scavenging for food and supplies while avoiding the Unconsecrated (zombies). Annah’s self-doubt and emotional turmoil over love will appeal to many readers. As with the previous books, this one is action-packed and fast paced. This book ties strongly to the second book, The Dead Tossed Waves, which was closely tied to the initial volume. However, readers who have not read the first two will not be confused about characters or their pasts. This book is strongly recommended for secondary readers who don’t mind a bit of gore or a touch of mushiness.
