In the beginning, I thought I liked this book much more than Shiver. About half way through, I wasn't so sure anymore. At the end, Shiver was better.
I like Isabel, which is part of why I liked this book. Getting into her head was fun...and she reminded me a lot of me as a teenager :)
Thing is, I didn't buy Cole. Especially not at the end...I'm supposed to believe that, with just one reference to his scientific mind, he's capable of any of what happened?
Also...why isn't Sam smart?? It's one of the most frustrating things about this series.
Character frustrations aside, this book is just as beautifully written as the Shiver.
I'm still going to finish the series.

Again I felt this book didn't really go anywhere (same as Shiver).
The writing was great and the story was ok, I ended up giving it a 3stars due to the writing and I liked the additional characters added, apart from that the end plot was sort of predictable from the first mention of it.
I am going to pick up Forever and see how this story finishes but I'm not holding out much hope for it all turning around in the final instalment.

These books. My feels. Make it stop. Where's the third one?
just like the first one i feel like nothing actually happened until the last few chapters
I really enjoyed reading Shiver when I read it, so I was excited to finally get a copy of Linger to read.
I definitely enjoyed the first book more than this one, but it's still a really good read. I love Sam's character. He is just so complex, you have to love him. I also feel really bad for him at times. I really liked Isabella in this book too, a lot more than I liked her in the first book. She's really grown, and I like that she can get along with Grace now. Grace just seemed a little off in this book. I can't exactly put my finger on what it was, but it was something. The addition of the bad boy rock star, Cole, was a good one. I didn't like him in the beginning, but towards the end I liked him. I think he's the perfect guy for Isabella also.
Overall, this was a good read. Not as much as the first book, but still a good read.
Happy Reading!

“This is a love story. I never knew there were so many kinds of love or that love could make people do so many different things."
I never knew there were so many different ways to say goodbye.”
Omg, no puedo creer nada de lo que paso. Mi alma esta en pedazos.

In “Linger” we pick up with Sam and Grace right where “Shiver” left off. Sam is adjusting to human life…constantly waiting for the other shoe to fall and shift back into a wolf. When Grace becomes ill, her parents discover that Sam in Grace’s room. Forcing Grace to defy her parents when they decide to start acting like parents rather than roommates they have been up until now.
I did like this story despite the mediocre reviews it received when it first came out. One of the things Maggie Stiefvater does well is tell a story from multiple viewpoints.
I loved Grace and Sam even more during “Linger”. Maggie writes such human characters. With the shifting storytellers we learn more about what drives each character. They are so relatable.
“Linger” had a slower start and was a bit harder to get into, but the new character, Cole really helped move the story along and provided a scientific spin on the whole shifting process.
“Forever” can’t come out fast enough…I really can’t wait to see how beautifully Maggie ties everything up. I will be sad to see the series end.

This was a quick, fun read, but I prefer the first book, Shiver.
Really enjoying this series. Surprises, complicated characters, and the dialogue doesn't sound forced. Kind of fun to read Romeo and Juliet kind of love story once in awhile.
