Please Stay



My Rating: 5/5

Review: Maggie Stiefvater is a sorceress with words, and I am completely and utterly enchanted. I am also so very anxious for the next book in this series. My heart is aching right now! Linger is much darker than Shiver, but still very very good. Sam just breaks my heart with his sweetness, Grace is such a treasure, Cole is an intriguing new character, and Isabel is so much more than the cold bitch she likes to make everyone think she is. These characters are the heart of the story. They make me want to read more. Of course, there are the wolves and the mystery of whether or not there is a cure. There's those beautiful woods that Grace likes to escape to as well. Oh how I wish I could take a walk through their misty depths. I'm so caught up in Grace and Sam's story that I know I will have to buy the next book as soon as it comes out because I couldn't possibly wait for it to come into the library.

Book Description: 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 Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.

At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love - the light and the dark, the warm and the cold - in a way you will never forget.
