review 1: I read this series for myself ... it's not one my boys would be interested in (much more aimed at a female audience). But IF I had a daughter, I'd be in a bit of a quandary as to whether or not to recommend it, as I wouldn't want MY daughter to romanticize falling in love (and sleeping with her boyfriend) at 17 ... the parent/teen relationships are less than ideal too.LOVED the first book. It ended on such an "ahhhhh" moment, I almost wish I had just stopped reading there. The other two books were good, but didn't quite have the same magic.
review 2: I love this series.SHIVER got me all hooked up with the love between Sam and Grace. He was a wolf, she was not. But she knew he was. And he knew something about her that wasn't right. In this first installment, the... morey meet again, they fell in love, and Grace is strugling with Sam soon to be changing in to a wolf. He tell his story about how it happened and what his parents did to him. I read Shiver in two days, only because I had to work and I would've look weird(crazy) reading while attending customers. Moving on to LINGER. Sam was still a wolf, and Grace still loves him, but an unexpected attack had made their live complicated. Now we got oourselve more wolfs, a guy name Cole, who was one of my favorite charachters, and Isabel, who couldn't be any more bitchy. These two like eachother as much as they hate eachother, and I'm loving it. I wish I had more of these two. In this one, a cure has been found for the wolf-ishness, or whatever, that would allow to stop changing into the wolf form. Grace wants Sam to be human, and Sam wants to be with Grace, so he went through the process and boom, he went back to be human. Ah!!! but now we have factor-x, Grace is changing,experiencing things Sam knew too well, and it would be a matter of time before it happens; the change. Sam knows its going to happen soon, and he has nothing to stop it. And then we have FOREVER. Grace is now a wolf!!! And... Sam is not... Now everything has change, Grace is the one out there having all the fun, and Sam is waiting paitiently for her to come back, looking for ways to change her back to human or for him to go back being a wolf. Isabel and Cole are still hating eachother, they kiss,they flirt, he calls and leaves messages, she ignores him and they go back to hate eachother. And I wanted more of them.. I know.. I love how real their relationship is, instead of those "I love you, you love me, and everything is pink" Now the town had enough of the wolfs attack and had decided to eliminate each one of them. Between Sam, Grace, Isabel, Cole, and the other wolfs they had to plan something that would save them from what is comming. And what about the cure for Sam. Would he go back to be a wolf? Does Grace keeeps being one? Would Isabel and Cole stop figthing?I love this series, and I thank Maggie Stiefvater for creating this amazing story. Now I have to go and buy all her books. less
