Young adult fiction is a guilty pleasure for me. Guilty because I think I'm just too old to be eligible for it and a pleasure because I love the clarity, directness, and themes- fairies and werewolves don't seem to get much play in the regular fantasy/scifi realm.... So there, I'm out of the closet and with that I'd like to just say some of the best young adult writing I've come across is by Maggie Stiefvater. She has two series out currently, one about homicidal fairies, Lament and the sequal, Ballad, and another about werewolves, Shiver. I thought I'd post this because I thing they're great and also because I'm trying to win an advance copy of her new book Linger, the sequal to Shiver. Read on.....
In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past . . . and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.
At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love -- the light and the dark, the warm and the cold -- in a way you will never forget.
Comes out in stores everywhere July 20th.
Pre-order here.
