FOREVER

THE WOLVES OF MERCY FALLS TRILOGY #3 : FOREVER
Sam has always loved Grace. As a wolf, he watched her from afar. As a boy, he held her in his arms.

Now facing the possibility of a life without her, he will do anything to keep her safe. Even if it means facing his demons. Even if it risks everything he has.

Anything, as long as their love can survive...

REVIEW:
In this final book I had the feeling that we were going through a somewhat similar story as the first book, but now it's Sam who is on the verge of losing Grace, and now we have Cole who is searching for a cure for werewolves.
I think it was beautiful how Sam was so devastated from the thought of loosing Grace that he risks everything so that he can be with her.
I didn't like the ending though, it wasn't really a solution, the question I had after finishing this book was "well, did it work??".
Because I had this question at the end I was really happy that I wasn't so pulled into the story to be bothered by it. This is not a good thing though, authors have to make their readers want to know how the book ends so I have it 3,5 roses, because the story was still great and some aspects of this book really did get me.



LINGER

THE WOLVES OF MERCY FALLS TRILOGY #2 : LINGER
Grace and Sam must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping dangerous secrets. For Sam, it means grappling with his werewolf past ...and figuring out a way to survive the future.
But just when they manage to find happiness, Grace finds herself changing in ways she could never have expected...
REVIEW:
The love story continues in this second installment in the trilogy. I have to say that these books aren't mind blowing and seem a little bit to serious sometimes, but it's still a great story. Introducing Cole is one of the best things happening in this book, his past gives an extra boost to the story and his growing relationship with Isabel makes it a lot more fun to read about. You see Cole becoming a great person from a derailed popstar image.
Grace and Sam are a couple that seem really natural when they are together, like a perfect couple who have been married for years. Although they have just been together for about a year. But in Linger Grace is the one in danger, Sam is "cured" for as far as we know, but Grace was bitten but never became a werewolf and now her werewolf gene threatens to take over. This is the cause of a cliffhanger kind of ending.

SHIVER

THE WOLVES OF MERCY FALLS TRILOGY #1 : SHIVER
When a local boy is killed by wolves, Grace's small town becomes a place of fear and suspicion. But Grace can't help being fascinated by the pack, and by one yellow-eyed wolf in particular. There's something about him - something almost human. Then she meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away...

A chilling love story that will have you hooked from the very first page.

REVIEW :

Oh goddess. This was just such an amazing love story. I seriously got tears in my eyes at the end. 
This book is great for when you really want a good lovestory. Grace is a very likeable character, so is Sam by the way.
You start with a bit of background story, which becomes a very important bit of infrmation through out the trilogy.
The love between Sam and Grace just feels so right, it's beautiful, like they've been made for each other. (and no, I don't mean it in the way of soul mates we are used to, although it comes very very close).

The idea of werewolves changing because of the cold is also a very refreshing view of the werewolf genre, but it's sad that at some point they can't turn human any more, it makes it very difficult to have a normal life while they are human.

I really liked this book, it's not addictive but it's certainly entertaining and reccomendable.
This is why I give this book 4,5 roses.
