After finishing this book, I felt even more convinced that "Shiver" should be a standalone. This book wasn't as bad, for me, as "Linger" was, but again I found myself not being able to read it happily and definitely I didn't enjoy it as much I had hoped.

Sam and Grace's relationship didn't evolve much, but I have admit that they have a pretty solid relationship and totally respect one another, which is something you don't often see in you don't adult literature. Grace's relationship with her parents was one of the saddest parts of the book, I hated the way they treated her and I think she was better off without them, because all they could contribute to her life is problems.

What I disliked the most, was the fact that there was a scientific reason why people turned into wolves and the fact that there was a scientific solution to this whole "problem". I felt like it took too much out of the story, it lost it's appeal and it became like an episode of House, where the characters were trying to find a cure for the terrible "wolf disease". I could let it slide in the first book, but it continued all the way into the next ones and I felt that the whole supernatural aspect of the story was missing. For example, no one becomes a vampire by being injected with a vampire virus!

All in all, for me this series started out so good, but as I progressed with the story, I found myself loosing interest and just wanting to give up. Really liked "Shiver" though and if it was a standalone, I think I would even give it a higher rating, because I would have no expectations for the next books!
