The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan

3.0

Not as strong as the first in this series mainly because Gabry is not as compelling a heroine as Mary was (by far the best scenes in this book are the ones between Gabry and Mary). For me, Gabry's just a little too Bella-like in her melodramatic warring feelings for two men and way too much of the book consists of Gabry sitting around feeling sorry for herself. Still though, Ryan does as excellent a job keeping up the suspense and continues to shape the complexities of the post-apocalyptic/zombie-filled Earth that she's created (although I could have used a LITTLE more of a glimpse at pre-Return Earth).

Hunger Games this ain't, but it's still an enjoyable read.
