Forever | Maggie Stiefvater

As you know by know paranormal lit is not really my thing, but I received a reading copy of Forever and felt obliged to try it.

I haven’t read the first 2 books in the trilogy, but the story was pretty easy to pick up. Wolves and teen angst is the short version!

It was well written; quite engaging in fact. The story moves between the four main characters – which allows the author four times the usual opportunities to delve deep inside the heart, soul and psyche of teenage romance and heartache.

The covers of the 3 books are gorgeous and the coloured fonts are a nice touch (but can be difficult to read, especially when tired).

Paranormal lit is still not my thing. But if you loved Twilight and you thought the Bella/Edward/Jacob angst was wonderful and romantic, then Stiefvater’s trilogy could be for you.

P.S. There are sexual references throughout the book.

_{then.
When Sam met Grace, he was a wolf and she was a girl. Eventually he found a way to become a boy, and their love moved from curious distance to the intense closeness of shared lives.}

_{now.
That should have been the end of their story. But Grace was not meant to stay human. Now she is the wolf. And the wolves of Mercy Falls are about to be killed in one final, spectacular hunt.}

_{forever.
Sam would do anything for Grace. But can one boy and one love really change a hostile, predatory world? The past, the present, and the future are about to collide in one pure moment–a moment of death or life, farewell or forever.}
