The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan

The absolutely thrilling young-adult post-apocalyptic zombie love story, The Forest of Hands and Teeth, will have its companion book released March 09, 2010The Dead-Tossed Waves. Here is the Synopsis of the up coming book.

“Gabry lives a quiet life, secure in her town next to the sea and behind the Barrier. She’s content to let her friends dream of the Dark City up the coast while she watches from the top of her lighthouse. Home is all she’s ever known, and all she needs for happiness.
But life after the Return is never safe, and there are threats even the Barrier can’t hold back.
Gabry’s mother thought she left her secrets behind in the Forest of Hands and Teeth, but like the dead in their world, secrets don’t stay buried. And now, Gabry’s world is crumbling.
One night beyond the Barrier…
One boy Gabry’s known forever and one veiled in mystery…
One reckless moment, and half of Gabry’s generation is dead, the other half imprisoned.
Gabry knows only one thing: if she is to have any hope of a future, she must face the forest of her mother’s past.”

I was deeply hoping for it to tell Gabrielle’s story. Once I read the main character’s name is Gabry, my hopes sky rocked! By the way, isn’t the cover gorgeous?!
