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!
