Could it be a stand-alone?

[Sydney]

I got this book, and I wanted to read the first. Could I read this one first without spoiling the first book, or would I have to read the first book first?

[Nat]

um it would probably be a good idea to read the first one first

[Sydney]

Thanks!

[Stacey]

I think it could be a stand alone....the mom comes back in this book but thats about it....the third book you would need to read the second one though

[Stacey]

btw this is one of my fave series....I would love to see even one more and felt it ended with the possibility

This could be read as a stand alone, no problem. The first book is much better though.

[Stacey]

I agree with Budd that the first book is much better, I really enjoyed the third as well. I think this middle book was more of a way to tie the other two books together

I didn't realize there was a third book.

Did you not like the second book? Book 3 introduces a new love interest but also keeps the characters of Gabry and Catcher, there is a small part for Mary. There are new problems that arise and they are not just running back through the forest but find a new city. I personally really enjoyed it, I had my husband read it and he liked it too. I though still felt book three ended in a way that there could definately be a 4th book, however I am not seeing any info that there will indeed be a 4th. But I feel the story of Gabry and Catcher still needs to be explored further with all the new characters as well.

The Dark and Hollow Places is book three, there is a short story called Hare Moon as well that tells of the story of Tabitha and is an interesting read into why she is as weird as she is

[Stacey]

There appears to be another short story out between books 1 and 2 this may. My guess is that it will tell the story of Mary and Gabry and is only 25 pages.

There is a third. It's called "The Dark and Hollow Places" and there is a prequel called "Hare Moon" and a book between 1 and 2, but it doesn't have a name. It just says: "What Once We Feared: An Original Forest of Hands and Teeth Story". Hope this helped!

There is a third. It's called "The Dark and Hollow Places" and there i..."


Thanks...I have read all three, but I felt the third left it pretty open to more stories....I hope one day Carrie Ryan will add to the series
