My Stars: 5 stars


This will be a spoiler free review. Mrs. Stiefvater does it again and even better. Shiver was amazing but here comes Linger and tops it. The whole time reading I'm trying to figure out whats going to happen. The writing style is perfect, beautiful and follows. The different POV I love to read them. If you think you can't fall more in love with Sam and the wolves well guess again. We get to read Sam's song ideas. We gets more involved with Isabel and Cole. If you have not pick up Maggie's Books please do so, you will not be disappointed.

I'm so happy I will get my chance to meet Maggie this coming Wednesday at a book signing.

Synopsis: In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past . . . and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.

At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love -- the light and the dark, the warm and the cold -- in a way you will never forget.

My Stars: 4 stars


I finally got around to reading Shiver. I'm so happy I did. This is a wonderful book. Its has love and Wolves, can't go wrong with those two. I didn't give it 5 stars because, its started just a tad bit slow but then it picked up very fast for me. I finished it at 3am. I cant wait to read the second book in the Linger in the series The Wolves of Mercy Falls. I don't think their are many of you left out there that have not read this book, if you have not than it's a MUST.

Synopsis: For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human ... until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.
