It took a little while for me to get into this book and I wasn't too sure about the new guy, Cole. But the book picked up and Cole seems like a pretty interesting character. I did think Olivia would be in it though. Wonder if she'll be in the next one or just forgotten about.
Tengo tantas cosas que decir de este libro... Temblor (su primera parte) es uno de los libros más hermosos y conmovedores que eh leído lo ame, ame a Sam y a Grace pero Rastro... Dios solo era relleno más rellenó más rellenó el hecho que Grace estuviera enferma todo el libro no significaba que estuviera todo el día en cama lamentandose, la forma en que Sam dejo un poco egoísta de pensar en Grace como lo hacía en Temblor me desesperaba en verdad es como sí solo se concentrará en él. La historia de Colé e Isabel... bueno sinceramente no creí que me gustara más que la de Sam y Grace pero cada vez que el capítulo era de Colé eran Flashback y lamento y secretos, jamás se reveló nada de su pasado y a eso me refiero que era más relleno el final si me lo imaginaba, me comenzó a gusto 20 páginas antes de que acabar.
Sólo esperó que SIEMPRE no me desilusione.

I used to try to upsell Shiver at the bookstore I worked at as "supernatural romance that teens should be reading." Linger just cements that statement in my mind even further. Yes, I know, it lacks vampires - but so what? There are werewolves, death, bitchy best friends, angst, and love and hell, even the romantic rockers with love songs?
Maybe the problem is that it is simply too well written and the dialogue is too good to catch the eye of the average teen reader nowadays, much less to be made in to a movie? I just don't get it.
Anyway, Linger picks up very nicely where nicely, of course, where, Shiver leaves off - Sam is, for all appearances, cured - he is no longer a werewolf. As the only non-werewolf of his pack, he now must stand watch in the house for the members of the pack that do continue to change as the seasons shift; and to keep watch of the members who don't and make sure they stay safe as well. His and Maggie's relationship continues to grow; deepened by the knowledge that they can now how a future together.
But underneath, all is still very much in flux. Sam is still hoping that either the alpha of the pack will change back; or he can find a cure for all the members of the pack. The newest members of the pack seem to bring with them problems that may threaten the very safety of them all. The police are still looking for Maggies' friend Grace, and they don't know how they are going to explain her sudden reappearance in the spring. Hunters are still on the prowl for the wolf pack, seeing them as a danger.
And Maggie keeps getting sicker and sicker, and no one knows why.
The ending, I can't say was a surprise, but even so, I cried more then once through out. This is such an excellent read.

No me engancho tanto como el libro anterior pero sigue siendo precioso. Este nuevo libro esta narrado desde el punto de vista de mas personajes, no solo de Sam y Grace.

A fabulous follow up to the already incredible "Shiver". The story incorporated quite a few new characters and did so with ease.
The only reservation that I have was the constant back and forth in first person. The voices are not quite as distinct as they need to be. Thankfully this time each change in protagonist is clearly labeled. =)
Love these books. Can't wait for more!
