#1 New York Times Bestseller
"This sequel's poetic prose skillfully captures the four teens' longings for love, forgetting, remembering, righting wrongs and life itself. The riveting ending will leave readers panting for the next sequel." — Kirkus Reviews
"This riveting narrative, impossible to put down, is not only an excellent addition to the current fangs and fur craze, but is also a beautifully written romance that, along with Shiver, will have teens clamoring for the third and final entry." — Voice of Youth Advocates
"Leaves readers hanging in anticipation for the next installment." — Booklist
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 in 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.

Lingers with me long after it's done,
By
This review is from: Linger (Hardcover)
Wow... I was so excited for this book, and for a good reason it turns out! I really like Shiver a lot and was very excited when I learned there was going to be a sequel to it. Linger is just as good as Shiver and adds even more emotional and stressful situations. Linger adds more to the story line by introducing another character that was briefly in Shiver. Cole, one of the new werewolves struggles with himself and why he chose to be a werewolf. He finds he struggles with who he is, was and going to be. Isabel and Cole find that they have some sort of connection, maybe not the same as Sam and Grace but something might be there? Shiver had two perspectives of Grace and Sam, and I loved that. Linger not only still has Grace and Sam's point of view, but Cole and Isabel tell their part of the story as well. I thought maybe it would be hard to follow with so many characters, but it really wasn't. It all wove together seamlessly. I was really surprised with where this book went with the story line... just when you thought in the last book they had things figured out... it really wasn't! I found as I got further into the book, I couldn't get through the pages fast enough! I was struggling with trying to take everything in because I was so excited and nervous about what was going to happen next. Very good read! I love werewolves and Maggie Stiefvater really put a good spin on these ones... I LOVE THEM... With the way this book left off, I am not so excited about having to wait until July of 2011 for the last instalment "Forever".

This review is from: Linger (Hardcover)
The love story between Grace and Sam continues in this sequel to Stiefvater's SHIVER.With new points of view from Isabel and a new character, Cole, LINGER is full of new complications and unexpected dangers. With their future uncertain, Grace and Sam struggle to find a way to stay together. The new trouble brought by Cole isn't helping. To top it all off, something is terribly wrong with Grace. There's only one way to save her, but will Sam be strong enough to do it? It's hard to write a review of this book without giving too much away. I adored SHIVER and didn't think I'd like LINGER as much. Happily, I was wrong. I love the new addition of Cole's character and the complications and situations he brings to the story. This story will LINGER in my mind as I wait for FOREVER. Reviewed by: Joan Stradling

The Romance Continues,
By
This review is from: Linger (Paperback)
The romance continues.In Linger the story expands to spend more time with Isabel, whose brother had become a wolf, and Cole, who choose to be a wolf rather than die. For me, the romance took a back seat to the bigger issue of growing up and finding your way. As we each grow up we have to make choices. Do we follow our own path or do we listen to our parents and the others around us and follow their led and expectations. Similar to the wolves, do they blindly accept that the weather gets cold you become a wolf, or do you take Cole's lead and ask questions to really determine what is happening. Follow or lead, destiny or choice. This unabridged audio version was presented by Scholastic Audio, 10 hours 37 minutes. Read by: Jenna Lamia, Dan Bittner, Emma Galvin, and Pierce Cravens
