This book is a sequel to The Forest of Hands and Teeth. Gabry lives by the sea in a lighthouse with her mother, Mary, in Vista. It is Mary’s job to kill the Mudo (zombies) as they wash up on the beach. Gabry has lived a secure, safe life in Vista behind the Barrier that keeps the unconsecrated out of their town. One night Gabry, her best friend, Cira and Cira’s brother, Catcher join other teens beyond the Barrier in the abandoned amusement park for a night of thrills and wreckless abandonment. Never one to break the rules, an apprehensive Gabry begins to relax with encouragement from Catcher. The chemistry between Catcher and Gabry builds when suddenly a breaker (a Mudo that moves with speed) attacks the group, and their young lives change forever. Gabry makes it back over the barrier unharmed and unnoticed but others from her party aren’t so lucky. Some are captured by the Militia. Some are attacked and bitten by the breaker, while others’ fate is unknown. Now Gabry must break all the rules to help her friends, including a journey through the forest of hands and teeth to keep them safe

Book 3 of the Last Survivors series begins one year since a meteor hit the moon knocking it closer to the Earth causing tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other severe weather changes. Miranda Evans and her family has survived in Pennsylvania but food is scarce and the weather is freezing. Ash from the volcanic eruptions has blocked out the sun. Life for the Evans family has changed. They forage for food from the houses around them. Her two brothers travel for two days on bikes to fish in the river. Miranda’s mother tries to keep things stable and normal by keeping up everyday rountines, but they are struggling to survive. Then Miranda’s father and step-mother arrive with four others including their newborn son, Gabriel. Now there are more mouths to feed. Alex Morales (from The Dead and the Gone) is one of the new additions to their family. Miranda finds herself attracted to Alex. Read Miranda’s diary to find out how they all survive and what develops between Alex and Miranda.
Titus and his friends all have “feeds”. Feeds are brain implants which are connected to a computer network that runs 24/7 advertising everything Titus and his friends would ever want or need. Titus and his friends no longer have to speak verbally with one another. They communicate telepathically. The “feed” keeps everyone occupied and compliant. On a trip to the moon with his friends, Titus meets Violet. There’s something different about Violet that catches Titus’s attention. Violet has an older feed and has been home-schooled by her father who is a professor. When Violet contracts a virus that causes her feed to fail, she comes out fighting against the feed leaving Titus with a decision to make. Should he join Violet’s rebellion?
