Cuando me leí el primero pensé sinceramente que era un libro que podría funcionar perfectamente como libro único, con una historia preciosa y unos personajes que se hacían querer. Aunque aún lo creo también he de decir que esta segunda parte me ha cautivado sabiendo llevar un paso más allá la mitología propia que creo la autora y presentando nuevos personajes fascinantes e incluso añadiendo matices a otros que ya conociamos.

Temblor fue un libro que me gusto mucho pero Rastro ha logrado que esta saga se cuele en mi corazoncito aun a falta de leerme el tercero y último título.

I dislike rating books this low but nothing happened in this book until like the last 30 pages. That’s not redeeming enough to rate any higher. Almost 350 pages of nothing. Barely any plot development. Boring boring boring. I’m so disappointed by this book because the plot is really solid and the characters are so likeable

3.5 - I didn't love this book, but I REALLY liked it. It follows along perfectly where Shiver ended and sets up the story nicely for the third book. Plus I love Maggie's writing style and the overall feel she creates for the book.

I'm glad we got some additional characters in Linger besides just Grace and Sam - while I love both of these characters, it was refreshing to see the story and emotions from another point of view through different characters' eyes.

And it'll be interesting to learn more about the scientific logic of being a werewolf (since there are still a lot of holes in the theories), which I imagine Maggie will be delving into in Forever. They must find a cure!

Oh I do like these books! I like the way Sam's sensitive nature expresses itself in a love of poetry and a penchant for writing lyrics to play on his guitar.
I like how his wolflike qualities are manifested in what we see of his eyes, as well as what his eyes see - and smells and sensations - so sensitive in a human, but so expressive of the wolf.

This second instalment has a fantastic ending. It is not quite as interesting as its precurser -which like the Twilight series that I compared it to, takes the risk of separating our lovers and inflicts the consequent suffering onto plot and interest levels of the readers. But this is an altogether superior series to Twilight, and the introduction of the fascinating Cole is a seriously interesting diversion, as is the development of Isabel's character. All characters, except the peripheral parents of Grace, are richly rounded and worth getting to know further. Very plot driven, this second installment founders briefly before the brilliant plot twist which will take us on to the next in the series, which will bound off with fantastic momentum.
The plot is like a fine dish, thickening and growing richer and more appetising as time goes on.

About the same as the first. I read of someone calling Sam "emo", and I think I'd agree with that. I'm not a huge fan of 'emo' personalities as main male love interests. But overall it held my interest throughout.

It took a little while for me to get into this book and I wasn't too sure about the new guy, Cole. But the book picked up and Cole seems like a pretty interesting character. I did think Olivia would be in it though. Wonder if she'll be in the next one or just forgotten about.

Great series.

Tengo tantas cosas que decir de este libro... Temblor (su primera parte) es uno de los libros más hermosos y conmovedores que eh leído lo ame, ame a Sam y a Grace pero Rastro... Dios solo era relleno más rellenó más rellenó el hecho que Grace estuviera enferma todo el libro no significaba que estuviera todo el día en cama lamentandose, la forma en que Sam dejo un poco egoísta de pensar en Grace como lo hacía en Temblor me desesperaba en verdad es como sí solo se concentrará en él. La historia de Colé e Isabel... bueno sinceramente no creí que me gustara más que la de Sam y Grace pero cada vez que el capítulo era de Colé eran Flashback y lamento y secretos, jamás se reveló nada de su pasado y a eso me refiero que era más relleno el final si me lo imaginaba, me comenzó a gusto 20 páginas antes de que acabar.
Sólo esperó que SIEMPRE no me desilusione.
3.5/5

I used to try to upsell Shiver at the bookstore I worked at as "supernatural romance that teens should be reading." Linger just cements that statement in my mind even further. Yes, I know, it lacks vampires - but so what? There are werewolves, death, bitchy best friends, angst, and love and hell, even the romantic rockers with love songs?

Maybe the problem is that it is simply too well written and the dialogue is too good to catch the eye of the average teen reader nowadays, much less to be made in to a movie? I just don't get it.

Anyway, Linger picks up very nicely where nicely, of course, where, Shiver leaves off - Sam is, for all appearances, cured - he is no longer a werewolf. As the only non-werewolf of his pack, he now must stand watch in the house for the members of the pack that do continue to change as the seasons shift; and to keep watch of the members who don't and make sure they stay safe as well. His and Maggie's relationship continues to grow; deepened by the knowledge that they can now how a future together.

But underneath, all is still very much in flux. Sam is still hoping that either the alpha of the pack will change back; or he can find a cure for all the members of the pack. The newest members of the pack seem to bring with them problems that may threaten the very safety of them all. The police are still looking for Maggies' friend Grace, and they don't know how they are going to explain her sudden reappearance in the spring. Hunters are still on the prowl for the wolf pack, seeing them as a danger.

And Maggie keeps getting sicker and sicker, and no one knows why.

The ending, I can't say was a surprise, but even so, I cried more then once through out. This is such an excellent read.
