Gabry lives a quiet life. As safe a life as is possible in a town trapped between a forest and the ocean, in a world teeming with the dead, who constantly hunger for those still living. She’s content on her side of the Barrier, happy to let her friends dream of the Dark City up the coast while she watches from the top of her lighthouse. But there are threats the Barrier cannot hold back. Threats like the secrets Gabry’s mother thought she left behind when she escaped from the Sisterhood and the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Like the cult of religious zealots who worship the dead. Like the stranger from the forest who seems to know Gabry. And suddenly, everything is changing. One reckless moment, and half of Gabry’s generation is dead, the other half imprisoned. Now Gabry only knows one thing: She must face the forest of her mother’s past in order to save herself and the one she loves.

What did you love best about The Dead-Tossed Waves?

I loved the teenage romance, very cute. And also how realistic it is.

What does Tara Sands bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I didn't like her voice. So I don't know.

Loved this book!!

I found the second book in this series to be much better than the first. I especially preferred this narrator. This is definitely a read for teenagers though. The drama in this series is hard to care about as an adult. Still a decent read, the action and story basis is great.

I liked it

I am so surprised by the reviews here. The narrator is perfect for the story and I think the protagonist and story line improves immensely from the first. You can tell Ryan has improved her craft as an author. It’s poetic how Mary’s daughter’s heroism and strength and love story happens in the ocean (I always loved that Mary’s was religious “pray w me mary” 😢) It’s a coming together of the first act in a most brilliant twist w this generation.
Well done Ryan 💕

Even better than 1 - LOVE ocean callback 😍

lots of teen drama and feels as if the writer wasn't 100% into her work, do not like the reader for this book, her voice is annoying and very nasally and has a very limited range.

should've stopped after book 1

I have been anxiously anticipating Carrie Ryan's sequel to the unexpectedly addicting Forest of Hands and Teeth. I didn't care for the narrator of that story who had all the wrong inflections, but Tara Sands does a fantastic job with Gabry in The Dead-Tossed Waves. It's utterly readable (or listenable) I finished it in less than 24 hours as I simply could not put it down. I'm assuming this is the 2nd in a series and I cannot wait for the next one!

Even better than the first!

I liked the story, it was a little slow getting started, but it was good.

the reader though had a very childish voice and her trying to portray men didn't do well. it was hard to imagine a man and not children when she was "speaking" them. I would have preferred the same reader from the first book and not changing the voice on me.

Great Story, not in love with reader.
