The longing.
Once Grace and Sam have found each other, they know they must fight to stay together. For Sam, this means a reckoning with his werewolf past. For Grace, it means facing a future that is less and less certain.
The loss.
Into their world comes a new wolf named Cole, whose past is full of hurt and danger. He is wrestling with his own demons, embracing the life of a wolf while denying the ties of being human.
The linger.
For Grace, Sam, and Cole, life is a constant struggle between two forces - wolf and human - with love baring its two sides as well. It is harrowing and euphoric, freeing and entrapping, enticing and alarming. As their world falls apart, love is what lingers. But will it be enough?
Was this book worth my time?
Yes, but I don't know if I would have been that interested in this book had I not been in love with Shiver.
I love the idea of a cure for the cure. I think it adds suspense and mystery to the novel, and I was surprised when I found myself trying to figure out the "cure" along with Cole.
I also liked that Stiefvater gave Isabel and Cole chapters in the book. It helps understand both of their emotions and motivations.
Stiefvater totally set the stage for the next book of the series, and I am ready to see what is in story for the Mercy Falls wolves.
What bothered me about the book?
I was disappointed that there was not more romance. I was looking forward to being drawn in to Stiefvater's way of protraying the passion and love between Sam and Grace. I didn't feel that like I did in Shiver.
