Episode 26 – The Forest of Hands and Teeth

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

Kait, Renata, and their guest Kelly read The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. It’s the story of a teenage girl bravely fleeing her oppressive, zombie-infested village to start a new life where she can freely express herself. Or… to be with her true love? Actually maybe she just wants to look at the ocean for awhile. Whatever.

Readers advisory: Here.

Candy pairing:  Kait says Twizzlers, Kelly says Blackpool rock, Renata says Halls cough drops.

Coming up next: Inferno by Dan Brown.
