OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!! I TOTALY LOVE SAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sam+Grace 4 ever!!!!
CANT WAIT FOR LINGER!!!!!! ( )

When she was 11 Grace was attacked by a pack of wolves and saved by one. For six winters Grace has watched the mysterious wolf watching her, longing for some connection to the wild creature. Sam yearns to be with Grace, to be able to touch his summer girl, but knowing that because of what he is it can never be.

If I had to describe this book in two words it would be "thoroughly engrossing". Particularly lately there have not been many books which have managed to hold my attention well enough to tempt me into reading the entire story in one evening. This one kept me up until 2:00 this morning. The prose seemed almost poetic with concentration on the impossible romance between Sam and Grace. It was really very lovely. There were also the other relationships revolving around the two, including Grace's with her self-involved parents and Sam’s with his adopted father, Beck. A lot of edge of your seat moments really added to the suspense of the story. I pretty much liked all the characters, with the exception of Grace's parents, and was invested in what was happening to them throughout. The mythology of these wolves differs slightly from the norm which gave it an interesting edge, and a feeling of fighting against an inevitability. The only complaint I could possibly have is that there seemed to be one loose end that did not get tied up, but I can certainly live with it.

Overall a very entertaining and well written young adult paranormal romance which has made me rather interested in looking up this author's other stories. ( )

Don't get me wrong, I think there were a lot of problems with this book, but in the end, sheer enjoyability of reading it made me give it 4 out of 5 stars. I liked the stories and liked the characters. I feel like the ending was either poorly written or it was left that way intentionally to make way for a sequel. Mostly I say this because of the Shelby issue. She's still alive... will she continue to harrass them? Also now the best friend Olivia is also a werewolf and it would be interesting to see how she's doing down the road. Some bits of the book were completely unbelievable and silly to me. Like, a wolf bursts through a window and is attacking Grace. Sam rushes in, tackles the wolf, and does everything he can to wrestle the wolf away from her. And then Grace's mother says she thinks Grace shouldn't see him anymore? If a boy risked his life that way for my daughter, I'd be like, "MARRY HIM." (MHO) ( )

this book pleasantly surprised me....i had read the good reviews it received and decided to give it a read...it seemed like it was a very typical teen angst book(with werewolves thrown in) but as the book progressed it intrigued and i found by the end i truly enjoyed it. ( )

It's a great fiction book. It has a romance that you thought was never going to work, and it did. It also had a little mystery in it too. The cover and the inside of the cover made me choose this book. AHS/AH
