The ending was kind of abrupt and not very romantic. It was good though.

The end of a loved series is always hard. This last books twisted and tore at me, land in the end I felt unsatisfied. I wanted a more solid ending. I will think about the possibilities of what if's "forever", LOL. The wolves so beautiful and yet so savage when in our world, are in great danger from man. Grace, Sam, Cole can't seem to find a solution. Shelby has been killing and is stirring up even more danger. She seems to hate everyone. Sam and Grace try to stay together, even with Graces shifting. The town and her parents think he did something to her. The police are called in and hassling him..does it ever end ???
You have to read it to find out.

As much as I liked the series, this book dragged for me. There were also a couple things that felt unfinished to me. Especially Olivia’s character.

I liked this book more than the second one, but my problem is that I don’t care at all about Isabel and Cole. I DO care about Grace and Sam, but their story is no longer the main focus.
The most moving scene was when Grace first changes back, calls Sam to come get her, he rushes to her only to see she’s already changed back.
The next time she changes, you would think that she would rush to Sam again, but she doesn’t! Sam seems fully committed and is clearly losing it without Grace, but when Grace keeps changing back and forth, it seems like every time she is less enthused about finding Sam. Then when they finally do get together, it’s really awkward and not at all what I wanted. It was just a huge let down.

I am glad that a cure is finally found (although I don’t get why Cole, who’s only been a wolf for five seconds, is the one to solve it).

I had to finish the series.  All 3 books were great.  I couldn't skip the last book.  It was good.

This entire series was more than I had ever expected it to be. I could not put them down. This book especially, was everything a great book should be. It holds the reader tightly, making life pass in a blur between times that you can pick the book back up and get back to the story of Grace and Sam, Isabel and Cole. It will leave you guessing and creating a world fair and perfect, the way the Wolves of Mercy Falls always deserved.

This book gave me everything I wanted from a trilogy. It was exciting, emotional, suspenseful. Thanks Maggie.

I liked it, but I am glad this is the ending so that I won't be tempted to continue. Grace is wolfed out for the winter, and unlike usual Sam is awaiting her return. Most of the city believes that he had something to do with Grace's disapearance. Cole finally has a purpose, and spends most of his time experimenting with a cure. Isabel's dad is still bent on destroying the wolves, and after another death, he has the support he needs. Forever is the pretty bow to the Mercy Falls package. It wraps everything up nice and neat.
