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 Isabel, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.
Review
First off, I hated Sam in this installment. But I LOVED Cole! Grace...meh. Isabel I like. This book seems like it is the standard slightly boring, setting up for the next book, "middle book syndrome." This book was much more boring than the first, which I find is typical with second-in-the-series books, hence the "middle book syndrome." It doesn't have as much sappy romance as the first, and the romance that is in it is broken up with Cole's perspective. I really hope the third book, Forever, has more of the Cole/Isabel interaction, and maybe even a relationship?!? I thing Maggie Stiefvater found a niche with the relationship between Cole and Isabel, and I can't wait to see what happens with them. Linger is definately not 5 stars like Shiver was, and I was quite disappointed. Hopefully Forever will make up for it.
3 out of 5 stars
