A girl left behind in a fallen city must fight for her life—and for love—when she meets a strange boy whose mysterious connections link him to a past she’d rather forget in the companion to the New York Times bestseller, The Forest of Hands and Teeth, perfect for fans of The Last of Us.
Annah's life is governed by the memories she'd rather forget.
The look on her sister's face before she left her behind in the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Her first glimpse of the Horde as they swarmed the Dark City. But most of all, Annah would like to forget the morning Elias abandoned her. Somehow, without him, her life doesn't feel much different from that of the dead that roam the wasted city around her.
Until she meets Catcher, and everything feels alive again.
But Catcher has his own secrets. Dark, terrifying truths that link him to a past Annah has longed to forget. And now she must decide: Can she continue to live in a world covered in the blood of the living? Or is death the only escape in life after the Return?

      Gr 9 Up-What would you do if you knew you only had a few days left to live? This question haunts Annah nearly as much as the ever-present Unconsecrated (zombies) that thirst for human blood in this, the final chapter in Ryan's thriller/romance trilogy. Every day in the Dark City is a struggle for survival, but when a series of mishaps unites Annah with the mysterious Catcher, she wonders if she has finally found a reason to live in a world overwhelmed by death. The well-paced story churns along, fueled by an overpowering sense of dread and Annah's immediate narrative voice. Though unafraid to go into gory detail, Ryan skillfully balances the gross-out bits with romance and beautifully written passages highlighting hope amid chaos and despair. The easily identifiable characters are developed well; even some of the zombies are shown in three dimensions. Some readers may grow tired of Annah's rather repetitive (and often annoying) self-reflection, but the romantic entanglements and plentiful flesh-eating action should keep the teeming hordes of zombie fans sated.-Sam Bloom, Groesbeck Branch Library, Cincinnati, OH

      After years of fending off "the infected" on her own, Annah is reunited with her twin sister Gabry (The Dead-Tossed Waves) and Elias. Meanwhile, enigmatic Catcher's immunity makes him a prized tool for the tyrannical military. As the teens try to protect one another from zombies and Recruiters, the development of their believably complex relationships ratchets up already taut suspense.
