I pined for months, yearning for an ARC of The Forest of Hands and Teeth - and wouldn’t you know it? By early March, I was able to get a copy… Why did I read this book: I had first heard about this debut novel on Urban Fantasy Land early last year…and once I had read the premise of the book (ZOMBIES), I was hooked. Stand alone or series: Can be read as a stand alone novel, but a sequel will be released in Spring 2010. Genre: Speculative Fiction, Young Adult, Apocalyptic Fiction, Zombies
