MY REVIEW:
Maggie Stiefvater does it again! Linger is a spectacular addition to The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy.

Recently I re-read Linger, the second book in The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, by Maggie Stiefvater. WOW, now I am DYING to read Forever, the final book in this trilogy. Let’s just say Maggie Stiefvater knows how to build anticipation and keep us wanting more!!

Linger is told from the alternating perspectives of Grace, Sam, Isabel & Cole (a new character).

I love Grace & Sam, in Shiver and in Linger. I am rooting for them all the way. Seriously, Sam writes music, plays guitar, sings his songs, and reads poetry!!! Grace is his muse. The only reason I wouldn’t root for them is because I want him to myself

I really LOVE the addition of Isabel & Cole’s perspectives. And even though Grace and Sam are the stars of the show, Isabel and Cole stole the show (or at least my attention). I wanted more and more scenes of them. Isabel and Cole are darker characters. They are both struggling with their own guilt, fears and depressions. However, their banter and no-nonsense attitudes are entertaining and refreshing. (Did I mention Cole is a musician too!! Not fair!)

I gave Linger by Maggie Stiefvater 4 STARS. I strongly recommend this book and look forward to reviewing the third and final book in this series, Forever.
