Great book. I hadn't read anything like it. The premise is new and interesting. It's scary without any paranormal elements at all.
I'm really looking forward to book 2 in the series!

Usually I would love this kind of stuff, but it sounds SO SIMILAR to THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH. Even the style of the synopsis is similar. Seriously. So I'm having some reservations.

Do the gates keep them out or us in?
That's always the dilemma, isn't it?
Sounds like a used story, but it's a good thing I like this kinda story.

DISCLAIMER: I received Gated as a publisher ARC through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
