Book Summary: 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 Thoughts: While Linger wasn’t as fast paced and there wasn’t the same sense of urgency as Shiver (the first book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls) it still had me wanting to keep reading to find out what was happening in Grace and Sam’s unusual lives. Linger is definitely not a light hearted read. There are many emotional moments so make sure you have the tissues handy.

I liked the addition of the new character Cole and it was interesting to watch his character evolve. I’m looking forward to reading more about him in the final book in the series Forever (due out in July 2011).
