Linger (Chapters 1-6)

     Going into this book i already knew the concept because I am reading the sequel to it. The book is about a young romance of a you8ng girl named Grace and a boy turns wolf named Sam, except in this book he has already found a cure to not turning into a wolf anymore and can now be with Grace forever. In this book, a new character named Cole is a new wolf. you have not heard much about him yet but you know there is something about his life. Something is going on with Grace now and she might just be turning into a wolf now, when she was younger she got bitten by a wolf and never turned. I know what your thinking, its another love story with mythical creatures and they fall in love, that is true but this story will be different, better even, and i cannot wait to finish it.

     

      The many reviews i have found for this book have been very optimistic about it. Here are some reviews of the book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6654313-linger. When I knew what the book was going to be the first time I did not want to read another typical never can be together book, but i gave it a try and Shiver, the first book, was not what i expected. It gave it a different edge and more of a dramatic read. I was very happy and so far Linger has been just the same.

     Starting from the prologue Grace is talking about the future of the book, Saying " This is a love story. I never knew there were so many kinds of love or that love could make people do so many different things. I never knew there were so many different ways to say good-bye" (2). Right there you know that she will not be around by the end of the book. Then comes Cole, the new wolf. He is running away from something you just do not know what yet, and does not want to shift back into be human. Then, there is another new character named Isabel, who's brother turned into a wolf but tragically died. It shows her looking into weird diseases and you have no idea what that is about. Each Chapter has a different narrator, It will either be  Grace, Sam, Cole, and Isabel.

  

      In Chapter 5, you learn that Cole was a famous singer in a band called NARKOTIKA and he was a drug addict that could not get off it. He was not happy and then you start to predict that he crashed and could not deal with the outcome of his actions and that's why he wanted to turn wolf http://www.soberrecovery.com/links/self-help.html. I am also starting to predict that Isabel is secretly helping the wolves, like giving them food or leaving clothes out for them, which Sam says not to do and that something mentally is happening to her. I am also predicting that Grace is going to turn into a wolf by the end of the book and then Sam will try to find a cure for her like Grace did for him. It is all going to be very sad and i feel like I am going to be frustrated with the end because I just want Grace and Sam to be together and I am just going to feel like they are prolonging the series and making it repetitive, but hopefully it will all come together.
