Wolves of Mercy Falls

I recently read a new book series, referred to me by my good friend Jessica Jeppson. She is great and has introduced me to a lot of new books!  This is a series that I had not heard of before. It is the Wolves of Mercy Falls Series by Maggie Stiefvater. If you click on that link it will take you to the authors website where it talks about the series. 

Shiver (Wolves of Mercy Falls)
Shiver is the story of Grace, a girl who is attacked by wolves at a young age. She then develops an interesting relationship with the wolves.  The story follows the perspectives of Grace and Sam. It jumps back and forth between them. 


I really enjoyed Shiver and thought that Maggie did a great with the writing and the story. I found myself hoping for Grace and Sam in whatever way they could be. It is a story that deserves the reading. 


Definitely worth the time. 

Linger (Wolves of Mercy Falls, Book 2)
Linger continues the story of Grace and Sam and their fight to remain together when their worlds are pulling them apart. It brings in the perspectives of Rachel and Cole. As a result, you are jumping from the heads of the different characters, which at times can be a bit confusing. But if you pay attention to the headings in the chapters and sub-chapters, it all works. 


I really liked the story in Linger. But I hated the way it ended. But that is because it carries over heavily into the 3rd book. I thought it was a great story, parts of it I expected, and parts of it I didn't. Parts of it, I wondered when would come and wasn't the least surprised when they finally happened. But, it is a great story. It just really leaves you hanging at the end with Decisions by both Grace and Sam. 

Coming July 12, 2011
Forever (Wolves of Mercy Falls, Book 3)
Obviously since it hasn't come out yet, I haven't read this. But here is the summary for the book from the website: 
The conclusion to #1 bestselling Shiver trilogy. In Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. In Linger, they fought to be together. Now, in Forever, the stakes are even higher than before. Wolves are being hunted. Lives are being threatened. And love is harder and harder to hold on to as death comes closing in.


I am excited for this one to come out. I really want the story to finish the way I want it. But that isn't much of a surprise. I look forward to when it comes out.
