Linger (Shiver, Book 2)

Linger . . . How to start . . . I think that this sequel did not live up to Shiver. When I read Shiver I could not put the book down and with linger I was still very much in the book but it seemed like after this boring part there is going to be this really big part! I was wrong. Linger had four points of views which jus made it kind of confusing, I had to say to myself " Whos point of view is this again ". Because in Shiver there was just Grace and Sams point of view but now its Grace, Sam, Isabel and Cole. I do like how Maggie Stafvater kind of threw him in there though because he himself wasn't even mentioned in the first one. I was also disappointed with Isabel and Cole's realashonship. It seemed as though it was a friends with benifits realshonship, when neither of them really wanted that. The end was so disappointing I actually looked twice to see if there was another page after the last one. When Grace turned I thought to myself "isnt this kind of what happened in Shiver"? The romance was completly turned down about 4 notches from shiver so romance readers may not be 100% satisfied. I honestly believe Maggie should have stoped at Shiver.

Linger is an ispiring book, a romance novel. I never had really read any romance novels (that were good) but i read Shiver. Then I was anxious for linger to come. Maybe if the writting was not so good I would abandon the book in seconds. But ever since i have alwasy wanted to read how writters interpritate wolfs in thier books. Overall 4 stars. I thought somthing more was nessasary. Must read though. READ.

I think it is a wonderful and beautiful book. The atmosphere makes me feel like I'm in on the action, and makes me wanna go into Mercy falls Mennasota! I've always have had a special connect and bond with wolves, and this book ( along with the others) explain what would have been for me. Sighs. I wish Sam K. Roth was mine. He's so perfect for me. Love it none the less.
