By: Maggie Stiefvater
Publish Date: July 12, 2011 by Scholastic Press
From Publishers Weekly, starred review~
A lyrical tale of alienated werewolves and first love...Stiefvater skillfully increases the tension throughout; her take on werewolves is interesting and original while her characters are refreshingly willing to use their brains to deal with the challenges they face.
I fell in love with Maggie Stiefvater's first book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, Shiver. It was one of the first books that had a different take on the werewolf mythos, and it is quite refreshing to see a modern idea for werewolves. Shiver was also one of the first books that my beloved and I read together, though he somehow managed to finish it before me. Linger has kept everyone on pins and needles and anxiously awaiting the release of the final volume, Forever. If you love werewolves and the sometimes long and hard journey of true love, I highly recommend all three books in the Wolves of Mercy Falls. Below are the covers of the first two books if you can grab them either from the store or at the library.
