Forever (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #3)Forever by Maggie Stiefvater
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

For the third and final book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls, I so enjoyed the story, the suspense, the maturation of the characters (Sam and Grace, Isabel and Cole)and the ending was very satsifying. Sam and Grace were still such an in-love couple, caring deeply for each other even when one was a wolf. They even got cocky Cole St. Clair to become a supporter and believer in their devotion to each other. Isabel was still the ice queen but both she and Cole definitely thawed toward each other and oh did I enjoy when they were under the table in her mother's exam room!!! I really disliked what Isabel's dad was intent upon doing to the wolves and it was Cole who really grew as a human/wolf in order to help the wolf line. It was a definite page turner, and I really hated whenever any of them had to become wolves with all the popping bones, yuck! But I am going to miss not having another novel of Sam and Grace to look forward to; Maggie Stiefvater better start working on another great series for those of us she hooked!

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

This new book, in what I hope is a series, was fantastic! Chapters are alternated by Grace, a human child who is dragged from her swing into the woods by a pack of wolves. And Sam, a wolf who was human and bitten, and goes between human and wolf form. Sam is one of the wolves present when Grace is attacked. But something happens when he smells her and looks into her eyes;she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen and he couldn't let their mauling continue and he stops it. So begins the haunting attraction between the two for a period of six years. Grace waiting and watching the woods to catch a glimpse of "her wolf" and Sam alternating between human form and wolf aching to know Grace from afar. Grace's parents are into their own world and when forces collide to bring Grace and Sam together, her parents are blissfully unaware Sam is being protected and hidden by Grace in her room. The author's way of keeping these two hearts beating as one, kept me turning the pages. There is suspense but her description of Sam and Grace's romance, longing, and their total enjoyment of each other made me shiver. I also liked the characters of Grace and Sam, they were deep, honest and abiding in their commitment to each other. Bring on the sequel, I can't wait.
