"the longing.

Once Grace and Sam have found each other, they know they must fight to stay together. For Sam, this means a reckoning with his werewolf past. For Grace, it means facing a future that is less and less certain.

the loss.

Into their world comes a new wolf named Cole, whose past is full of hurt and danger. He is wrestling with his own demons, embracing the life of a wolf while denying the ties of being a human.

the linger.

For Grace, Sam, and Cole, life a constant struggle between two forces - wolf and human - with love baring its two sides as well. It is harrowing and euphoric, freeing and entrapping, enticing and alarming. As their world falls apart, love is what lingers. But will it be enough?"

My Rambles: I know I've already said I love this series but I really really do. There's something that pulls me in so deeply that it makes me fall for it all over again. I could still feel winter as I read through (though we are hitting 100 degree weather right now) and to stop reading it takes a few minutes to get my brain back in order. I find myself liking Rachel more and more through this read, and find it immensely amusing that she only refers to Sam as The Boy. Since I'm reading them back to back it gets hard for me to remember where one book ends and the next begins. I'm proud of Grace for standing up to her parents and I reminded me of being a teen and hating how a lot of adults look down on teens for no reason other than age. I thought it was stupid then and that it's stupid now. I get her parents concern but they handled it wrong. They should have listened to her more. Actually listened and felt guilt when she told them how absent they'd been all this time. I do agree with Isabel though, Sam needs to be more proactive than reactive.
