Linger (Chapters 7-12)

My predictions on Isabel and Cole have come true. Cole did crash and felt like he had nothing else to live for so he turned into the wolf to forget about his past so he does not have to be Cole St. Claire (his real name) anymore. I was also right about Isabel and how she was helping the wolves out. She was throwing old meat and things out for the wolves which did not make Sam happy. I still do not know about Grace becoming a wolf because i am sure it will not happen until the very end of the book.

To start of Grace and Isabel find a dead wolf. They have no idea how it got like that. It had a nosebleed but that was it. That is the only evidence of something that was not old age of why it is dead http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistaxis. I'm thinking there is going to be something going wrong with the wolves, like some sort of disease. Then a new character arrives, John Marx. I do not know if he will be a reoccurring character but the most important fact to know about him is that his sister Olivia, Graces best friend, is missing. In reality she actually turned into a wolf and Grace and Sam know that, but John does not. He says he's back in town because he got an email from Olivia, but really Grace sent it. Now i think that was a mistake and John will soon find out what is really going on.

The next part of the story Sam going back home where he would stay while he was not a wolf. This is where he felt the safest and where his family always was.



Sam then runs into Cole, where he is about to shift back into a wolf and already he has a bad feeling about him. He does not know what Beck, his sort of father, got him into. Sam tells Grace about the new wolf and says, "It made me wonder what kind of person would choose to be a wolf. They must all be crazy, Grace, every one of Beck's new wolves. Who would choose that" (74)? That tells you there Cole did it to get away from something and that Sam never liked being a wolf, and mostly everyone in the pack wanted to become a wolf to get away from something, which makes Sam different. Sam also continues to say "I don't trust him, Grace. I just feel like no good will come from these new loves" (74). I do not know what Sam does not like Cole already, I mean he barely knows him, but maybe Sam has an instinct http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instinct.

Now that last part I read Cole and Isabel have just met under unfortunate circumstances. Cole and Isabel have this werid connection and they actully do kiss, but Isabel plays it off as nothing, but I do not think that is true. I think something will happen between them. Isabel says, " I could still remember his human eyes in that wolf face; they'd looked as empty as I felt" (89). So that connection between them I think will bring them together.
