And in her second installment, Linger, she picks up right where Shiver left off. Only this time things are a little bit different, and there's a new wolf to contend with. Cole.

If Shiver was about hope, then I think Linger was about acceptance.

I really enjoyed reading Shiver when I read it, so I was excited to finally get a copy of Linger to read.

I definitely enjoyed the first book more than this one, but it's still a really good read. I love Sam's character. He is just so complex, you have to love him.

Grace just seemed a little off in t ...more

The very first line says it all, "This is a story about a boy who used to be a wolf, and a girl who was turning into one."

Isabel runs into one of the new wolves after finding a dead one down by the lake and finally finds someone even more damaged than herself. Will the youth of Mercy Falls who live within the world of these mystical wolves be ab ...more

Again with the tears! I wasn't expecting some of it and I love the addition of the new character....don't want to give anything away. I really liked the development of the relationships and once again, left hanging! I might die before we get the 3rd book. ...more

I'll make this very simple - I started Linger yesterday and I finished Linger yesterday. It was ah-freaking-maze-ing. I stayed up late on a school night (yes I'm still in school during the summer) just because I didn't want to go to sleep without finishing it.
I honestly don't know what else to say aside from - GO READ THIS NOW! ...more
