In the second installment to the Wolves of Mercy Falls series: Sam is having trouble believing in his cure, Grace is acting strangely and feeling like she doesn't fit into her own skin anymore, and a new wolf is in Mercy Falls: Cole, the once lead singer of a popular rock band, NARKOTIKA, is dealing with the issues of straddling the line between man and wolf. But honestly? He'd rather stay a wolf than deal with the problems that come with being human.
Meanwhile, Isabel, the girl who had to deal w ...more

I've just finished reading Linger, with a tear or two sliding down my cheeks. I'm not exactly sure what my feeling are for this book, but I Loved It!

This story is beautiful, pure and simple. Maggie has a wonderful style of wrting, almost poetic. There are moments in the book where I reread a certain phrase of paragraph over and over again because I loved the ways the words were written up together.

I've just finished reading Linger, with a tear or two sliding down my cheeks. I'm not exactly sure what my feeling are for this book, but I Loved It!

This story is beautiful, pure and simple. Maggie has a wonderful style of wrting, almost poetic. There are moments in the book where I reread a certain phrase of paragraph over and over again because I loved the ways the words were written up together.

In this series, becoming a werewolf is scientific and not in any case, magical like many other stories. Maggie takes the popular werewolf story and creates a new beautiful love story, like no other.

Linger may be one of the best books I've read this year. Everything we thought was solved in Shiver, is far from it. I was completely and utterly shocked by the course of direction the storyline was taken after everything had worked out so perfectly. But I suppose that without these twist and turns, we wouldn't such a magnificently written story. I hated it and loved it all at the same time.

The changes in points of view did wonders to the story. We got an insight on what other characters were thinking and doing. Isabel was an interesting character to follow. Although she may seem like a heartless person on the outside, especially after her brother dies, we see that there is a different side of her. A side that cares for the well being of the wolves and Grace. Theres also a new character introduced, Cole. We get to see some kind of relationship grow between Isabel and Cole. It's seems at first its just lust, but they connect because they both have some problem the're trying to deal with to deal with.Cole was a refreshing new character. Instead of dreading the transformation to werewolf, like Sam, he craves it. He wishes to forget his memories. Almost like running away but without all the work.

My favorite part out of the whole book had to be in the last page, the last three paragraphs. They made me cry, and my heart went out for poor Sam. Ahh, I loved it!

I'm absolutely dieing to know what happens next. If you haven't read, Shiver and/or Linger add it to your list, or better yet, go out and buy it immediately! ...more

*SQUEAL*!!! ^^ I love this series!!!!! This book has it all, drama, suspense, love, everything!!!!! I can't get enough of Sam, Grace, Cole and Isabel! They are just too amazing!! What I love about this book, is the fact that werewolves aren't these mythical creatures part of the occult, here they are infected human beings, purely science and logical!

I also love the way each character not only shifts physically but they also shift in character and personality. They are all growing up for the bett ...more

I love this book! It's so darn funnnny and romantic. I LOVE THE GREEN FONT!!!!!! makes the book much more awesome :) Maggie Stiefvater writes her books with a ton of imagery and mystery that keeps the book flowing. I love the last two sentences--It made the book so dramatic and made me want to read the next book so much more. Cole was a great new character to the book, I think It's just what it needed. He's not like Sam at all, he's his own self, in a confusing way. 5 Stars for this series!! ...more

It was a bit slow to start off with & I struggled to get my head into it right away but once I did, I really enjoyed it. Isabel & Cole are such a great addition to the book and Sam & Grace feel like a modern day version of Romeo & Juliet. I love all the characters. The last few chapters are the best & most heartbreaking. I love the mix of emotions that Maggie takes you through. She really knows how to pull at your heart strings :-)

The author really knows how to title her books, again another title that sets the mood for the entire book. Though I think this book lacked a bit of surprise, given that the introduction of the book led you to expect the outcome. I did love Cole in this book. A nice change of pace, and Isabelle did become more of an important character in this story as well :)
