THE WOLVES OF MERCY FALLS:
Forever by Maggie Stiefvater

The Beginning Of The End Of A Love That Will Last Forever! 

For years he had watched her from afar, waiting for her to join him in the woods as a wolf, but she never did. Years later he finally found her as a human and they thought they could finally be together. Now however, it is she that watches from the woods, torn away from him by winter and a wolf's coat.

His greatest fear was losing himself to the wolf inside, but now he fears he has lost the girl he loves to the woods and is being accused of murdering her. Her life now in the woods is filled with the longing for something more and the waiting for the winter to be over, as her future is lost to the uncertainty of the cold.

Meanwhile a former rock star is rediscovering life and love only now after he has given up on both. And a broken princess, whose brother's death has instigated the hunt for the wolves, will rediscover a meaning to life that was lost when she lost her brother.

Forever is a story of werewolves and love, but more then anything it is a story of Sam and Grace. The heart of this story is a couple who will never give-up on each other and never stop loving each other. A tender, heart pounding and unforgettable end to a series that has been so engrossing it will make you Shiver with longing when it's over.

The Wolves of Mercy Falls #2

THE WOLVES OF MERCY FALLS:
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater

Stay A Little Longer!

When Sam lost his wolf skin for good it was a miracle, one too good to be true, one that he was thankful for everyday as it brought him closer to the one he loved; it brought him closer to Grace. Being with Grace was the only future Sam could see for himself, the only future he wanted. But just when he thought that future was within his grasp, everything began to fall apart.

Grace had lost Sam in the past to the cold and the woods, she had watched as his eyes watched her through the face of a wolf. But now Sam was Sam, a boy, human and going to stay that way. Now they could be together, or so they thought. Grace has to fight not only those around her but her inner wolf if she is to hold on to the boy she loves. But it is getting harder and harder to stay with Sam, and to stay as Grace.

Linger is a thrilling tale of loss, love and change. After risking all to find each other Sam and Grace now have to fight with everything they have to stay together as it seems the world is conspiring to tear them apart. Sam has taken on new responsibilities and with them new fears, while Grace is facing new challenges and deadly new dangers. For Sam becoming a wolf is all in the past, for Grace becoming a wolf is her future. A beautiful, raw and emotional look at love, wishes and werewolves.

The Wolves of Mercy Falls #1

THE WOLVES OF MERCY FALLS:
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

A Wolf In Boy's Clothing, A Boy In Wolf's Clothing!

The first time Grace saw those yellow eyes they belonged to a wolf, a wolf who saved her. The first time Grace was bitten she had thought she would die. Later when Grace saw those yellow eyes they belonged to a boy, a boy who she saved. Later when she was bitten she thought the wolf would die.

For years Grace watched the wolves that lived in the woods surrounding her home, for years the wolves watched her. She thought about them all the time, they were her wolves. Every winter the wolves would be there, a constant companion to the snow. In the summer they were gone. She never thought more about that.

For a while Grace and Sam were living like they had all the time in the world, like a future was possible for them, like the end wasn't coming. For a while they were the happiest they had ever been, but their time together was shadowed, by men and wolves and the constant threat of the cold. It had taken six years for them to finally reach each other, and now they were only a snow fall away from losing each other for ever.

Shiver is a love story told with simple elegance that is heartbreaking, tender and terrifying. The relationship between Grace and Sam is honest and thoughtful, pitched against the dangers of their separate worlds that are about to collide. A story of werewolves as you have never read before, with no full moons and no silver bullets; just the bite of a wolf and the call of winter. A highly recommended read for teens, fantasy readers and romantics; and anyone who loves a good story.
