Linger by Maggie Stiefvater- REVIEW

Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Okay... Well first of all, I really thought this book would be AMAZING considering I LOVED shiver and could not wait to get more after I finished the first book, however, in my opinion it was a big let down.
In shiver, you are greeted with the love Sam and Grace have for each other and the adorable way they met over the years without knowing they were actually meeting each other; furthermore in Linger you were still given the passionate love between them, although when Grace turns into a werewolf and escapes out the hospital window and Sam does not chase after her (as you would if you were deeply in love with someone) I believe it ruins the image the author is trying to portray of them being deeply in love and believing to have found their soul mate.
By the end of the book, I was very upset to have found that Sam was no longer a werewolf but had passed it onto Grace and then just left her to jump out the window, without chasing after her.
However, many other people I know who had read Linger, completely disagree with me and believe it to be amazing, so I suppose it is up to you to decide.
In conclusion, the book was pretty good up until the very end where I was disappointed. On the other hand, Forever may boost the story back up again but I am too scared to read it as it may ruin my favourite story all together.

If anyone has read forever and think it is worth reading and shouldn't ruin the storyline, let me know and I'll read it.
