The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan
5.0
(audio) We meet Anna the twin sister of Gabry. She left her sister behind in the last book and ran to safety with Eltias. She is living in the Dark city, alone waiting for Eltias to return from hunting for her sister, the one she left over ten years ago. She has been racked with guilt everyday over the horrible choice she had to make to survive. She was left scared and self loathing from the event. Eltias brings her a brief of happiness only to have that ripped from her. With all that she has been through she still survives and hopes. Then when you think it can get no worse, hold on it does...
Garby is fresh and pretty, she smiles. Anna is scarred, dark and emotionally crippled by her past. Catcher, an adorable character, is immune to the virus and gives everything to save his friends. He and Anna develop a friendship while trying to survive the horde. They travel a difficult road, they don't dare cross. Eltias, he is gullible, he believed in the wrong sort of people, blinding himself to the truth. There are some very dark and nasty humans side characters, pure evil.
I really loved this book, it was non-stop reading joy. I loved the ending for the series, but I would really love one more follow up novel ? I wanted to smack the stupid innocence off Gabry a few times, her character seemed so out of place for the world around her. Too shinny and happy....grrrr, you are surrounded by badness girl get hardened up ! I cheered for the rest of the group and was thrilled with Anna and Catchers ending.
