The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan

4.0

I loved this book. It's the third in a trilogy, but I think it is my favorite of the three. The first chapter of The Dark and Hollow Places, where Annah is introduced as the protagonist surviving in the Dark City
SpoilerNew York City
, was stunningly written. I love the way Carrie Ryan sets each scene. She uses all 5 of her senses beautifully and strikingly. Annah's character is so much more of a fighter than that of her sister in The Dead-Tossed Waves, and I found myself admiring Catcher so much more than I had before.
SpoilerThe depictions of the city crumbling left me haunted.
Carrie Ryan is not afraid to dive into the violent, frightening, and shocking scenes that would be found in a zombie-laden world. This was one of the best young adult stories I've read in a while.
