Monday Must Reads!...Wolves of Mercy Falls Trilogy!


Monday Must Reads! is a feature I created to showcase books that I think you, well, Must Read! (ha!).

Today's Must Read is actually a trilogy--and one that has been around for a bit. I know you've all heard of it, but I only recently picked up these books and read them. Beautiful writing, great story and heartfelt characters make this series a winner. What am I talking about? Why, none other than...



by Maggie Stiefvater

Shiver

Sam’s not just a normal boy — he has a secret. During the summer he walks and talks as a human, but when the cold comes, he runs with his pack as a wolf. Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house — but never dreamed that she would fall in love with one of them. Now that they’ve found each other, the clock ticks down on what could be Grace and Sam’s only summer together.

Linger

Can Grace and Sam last? Each will have to fight to stay together — whether it means a reckoning with his werewolf past for Sam, or for Grace, facing a future that is less and less certain. Enter Cole, a new wolf who is wrestling with his own demons, embracing the life of a wolf while denying the ties of being human. For Grace, Sam, and Cole, life is harrowing and euphoric, enticing and alarming. As their world falls apart, love is what lingers. But can it be enough?

Forever

For Grace, Sam, and Cole, the story continues — only now, the stakes are even higher than before. Wolves are being hunted. Lives are being threatened. It’s becoming harder and harder to hold on to one another. In the conclusion to Maggie Stiefvater’s bestselling, breathtaking trilogy, love is the question — and the answer.


Just in case you're one of the few people who have yet to read this series (like I was), trust me when I saw that it is a great one. The perfect combination of romance and paranormal (I'm so jealous of her writing, seriously), The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy doesn't disappoint!

  1. I agree, the writing was beautiful. Although for me, in the second and third book, it was more about Isabel and Cole- I thought they were far more compelling characters. I also waited a long time to read this series, but I'm so glad I did!
