Review: Linger

I wasn't sure if I should review this or not, considering I didn't review Shiver, the first in the series. Then I said "Oh, what the heck." Then I ate some chocolate. And here we are...anyway...

I'll just tell you that the first book was really good, and I definitely recommend it, especially to people who enjoyed Twilight because it kind of has that kind of vibe going on. Another reason to read it is that Linger shall confusing without reading Shiver. Like, I read the first one, and then read Linger about 10 months later, and I was a little confused.

Maybe the space between the two books did something to my memory, but it seemed like Grace (the main character) was sort of different in this one. Not as friendly, standoffish, almost.

I also have to warn you that the beginning is kind of slow and boring, but it definitely picks up. So don't give up on it! It's totally worth it. Stiefvater leaves you with a suspenseful ending, making you wish Forever (the sequel, which comes out on July 12th) was already released!

All in all, a pretty good book. I don't think it was quite as good as the first one. Aren't most series like that though!? ~Peace, Love, and a Tom Higgenson kick
