Sneaky Peek of FOREVER

As you guys know, I adore Maggie Stiefvater. And, a few days ago, she revealed/teased the first two pages of FOREVER! YEAH!

So, if you haven't read the previous two books in the Wolves of Mercy Fall trilogy and you don't want to be spoiled, DON'T WATCH!

If you, like me, want to be spoiled, watch. Go on... you know you want to...

GoodRead - Linger

In Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other and fell madly in love.

Now, in the second book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, Linger, Grace and Sam have to fight together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping dangerous secrets. For Sam, it means grappling with his werewolf past ... and figuring out a way to survive the future. But just when they manage to find happiness, Grace finds herself changing in ways she could never have expected...

Shiver – I LOVED the book. No, seriously, I do. But the ending creeped me out. But I loved the love story worked so beautifully and how Maggie's writing (there's a line in Shiver where she described the wolves as "They were silent, beautiful ghosts in the woods.")

The beautifully writing and prose continues in Linger, and I'm so happy about that. Also, I love how the author, Maggie Stiefvater continued the story by, not having just Grace and Sam telling the story, but adding two more voice to the mix. We have Isabel, whose brother Jack die when he was attacked by the wolves in Shiver, and we have Cole, a new character (Bad Boy alert!) who wants to do anything to become a wolf and not be human.

I love these two new voices. I'm not 100% sure if I like Cole much, but I love Isabel. Her voice was cutting and showed she was still grieving for her brother and yet, against her better judgement, is slowly falling in love with Cole. I'm not sure why but I imagined KaDee Strickland's (aka Dr Charlotte King in Private Practice) voice for Isabel.

Now... the ending... I am going to admit this. I almost threw the book across the room. But that's a good thing. It means, to me, that it's a good read and the writing was brilliant. I love Shiver & Linger is a really good follow up. And with the ending that Linger finished on, I can't wait for the third book in the trilogy, Forever.

Now, to pick a song that reflects the book to me. I hope you like the song I chose...

Linger Again

Because I'm a sucker for a lovely video with beautiful music (and because I want this book! Badly! And I think you should read this...)

GoodRead - UK Cover Vs US Cover

JUST SEEN THE UK COVER TO THIS BOOK THAT I WANT VERY VERY BADLY!!! (sorry for the cap freak out! But I've seen it just now and went mentally hyper!)

So, here is the UK cover that I've only just seen THIS VERY INSTANT!!!


And this is the US cover:


I can't choose! I LOVE BOTH! I love the US cover due to the greens and the warm which is a stark difference to the US cover of Shiver (a cover I ADORE!!!) whereas the UK cover got my attention with the red paw-print.

I hate to say this, even though it took me a long time to like the US cover (due to the green), I love the UK cover (a shock for me, seeing as I dislike the UK cover of Shiver!).

Problem because I would like the US cover! WHAT DO I DO?! GET THE UK OR THE US COVER! Advise and tell me which cover YOU prefer!

THE GIANT LINGER GIVEAWAY

In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. 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 into 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.

Comes out in stores everywhere July 20th. Pre-order here.
