Linger is not nearly as good as Shiver but the characters are still well developed and remain true to themselves.
Linger does not seem as well written as Shiver. It also takes a l-o-n-g time to build up. The pacing is tediously slow.
This book is more of a transition book so it lacks a lot of the excitement and build up to something great. It leaves you with a huge cliffhanger which is disappointing since most of the book was rather flat.
Despite all the negatives, I will read the third book because when Stiefvater finally builds to the end she leaves you wanting to find out what the future holds for her characters.
Grade: C

Synopsis [B&N]
In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past . . . and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.
At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love - the light and the dark, the warm and the cold - in a way you will never forget.
