Linger (Chapters 42-52)

Cole breaks down and apologized for everything he has done to Victor. I really do feel bad for Cole. He has made some bad choices but he knows what he was doing was wrong and now this moment his life will be changed forever because he is going to change now.

After the burial they go back inside and Isabel is there. She takes Sam aside and starts to yell at him which I think is completely unnecessary. She starts to say that he isn't don't anything with Grace, with Cole being in a band and that he is supposed to be dead, and even for Victor dying because she told Sam the wolves were around her house. What was he supposed to do? Tell the wolves to leave? Like they would listen. She really has no right to be yelling at him. Cole has a suspicion that Isabel has feeling for Sam. I can actually see that. Maybe if Grace does end up turning into a wolf she will try something?They all go to bed and Grace and Sam finally have the talk. Nothing really gets said. Just that they both acknowledge it has something to do with her never turning. Then, an hour later she starts throwing up blood and everything goes down hill.

Her parents arrive at the hospital and the dad punches Sam and is told he has to leave the room and Cole sticks up for him and says that he deserves to be in the room and not them. Which is true, he has been there her and they have not. Isabel comes down and makes Cole figure out what is going on because he is the genius. Fortunately, he does figure it out. He says that because she never shifted, that the wolf toxin is put at bay when you shift because it is so bad for you, but if you do not shift it festers until eventually it starts to kill you, which is what is happening to Grace. So they concluded that she has to get bitten again so she can get "cured." I know it is confusing. Which by the way means that after 10 or so years Sam will also die because his wolf toxin is also festering.

So they form a plan, Isabel distracts the parents and Cole goes and infects Grace again and instantly she starts to change into the wolf she never was. While Grace is shifting Sam promises to find her again, to not forget and to not lose herself. "The girl i knew was gone, and there was only a wolf with brown eyes" (357). Then Cole makes on offer, he says that Sam can go with her and get bitten too, then they could be together, but he can't. He refuses the offer because he couldn't go through all of it again. So, with Grace and Cole as wolves Sam goes back into the hospital with accusing stares. Thinking he is helping her runaway, he has to watch out for Tom Culpeper and he is waiting until summer so he can be with Grace again. Sam makes a choice to find a cure. For Grace, Cole, himself, and even Beck. "I will find a cure. And then I will find Grace" (360).

That is the end of the book. Obviously there will be another one. I liked it. I thought it was a good read and it kept you thinking what was going to happen again. I cannot wait to read the next one.

  1. I think Sam relly loves Grace. I would agree that it sounds like their will be another book to this series.I also hope that he can find a cure for all of them.
