Linger (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #2) in Pick-a-Shelf

Jan 04, 2011 Tara rated it really liked it · review of another edition

Not sure why my stars have stopped working, but I gave this one 3 1/2 stars rounded up to 4. The two new narrators did a really good job.
Overall, this book went a different direction than I thought it would.

Overall, I did not like this installment as much as I liked Shiver (the writing did n ...more

I didn't feel as involved in this story as I expected to be. It didn't completely pull me in until the end.

Okay, I really did like this book. BUT after Shiver I was just DONE with Grace/Sam. Most of their passages were boring. I was, however, VERY intrigued by the Isabel/Cole passages.

I really liked this book. I get nervous when a second book in a series comes out, but this one was just as good as the first one. I really enjoyed the introduction of Cole into the picture. I liked getting the story from more views. I can't wait to see what happens in the next one. ...more
