Forever left me with a lot of unanswered questions about Cole and Isabell. I was glad to see she kept Cole's erratic way of thinking in this book. The Shiver series has been one of my favorite series for years and it was nice to see that there were no loose ends left over.Mesothelioma Lawyer San Antonio TXhttp://www.krwlawyers.com/_start_San-Antonio-Mesothelioma-Lawyer.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-28881600690191187142015-01-29T08:30:14.857-05:002015-01-29T08:30:14.857-05:00Maggie's writing is gorgeous.

The main characters were not people I'd enjoy hanging out with, but their story is fascinating. I am amazed at how Maggie is able to write about such completely different characters, and make you feel like you know them and understand them better than most anyone you know. Stiefvater has a gift, and I recommend that everyone enjoys it.<br /><a href="http://www.landforsaleinalaska.net" rel="nofollow">Highly recommended Land For Sale in Alaska information</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118707550077647899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-49582152528436077602014-06-29T12:08:16.755-04:002014-06-29T12:08:16.755-04:00Believe it or not, the only Stiefvater book I'...Believe it or not, the only Stiefvater book I've read is The Scorpio Races, despite how much everyone seems to love her other work.

Ambiguous ending is wonderful when it fits the nature of the book, but I'm the kind of reader who enjoy obvious happy ending most of the time haha. Still, I'm glad you managed to enjoy this book. :) Adding Shiver to my wish-list for sure! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224746396123025992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-90352882946202491702014-06-26T22:32:53.926-04:002014-06-26T22:32:53.926-04:00I couldn't finish Shiver and thought it's ...I couldn't finish Shiver and thought it's not the book for me.

Now, I'm considering giving the entire series another chance, since I've heard so many good things about it, and I've really enjoyed her other books, like The Scorpio Races and The Raven Boys. Maybe, I should reread Shiver soon, and see if I like it better the second time around like you did.

Don't hate me...but I haven't read <i>Shiver</i> yet because I'm not a huge fan of Maggie's writing style (to me personally, it feels like I'm swimming in a sea of adverbs & adjectives). I'm glad to know this was a well-done spinoff of Cole though, and that the romance was well-done! To be able to say it was better than you anticipated is awesome! :D It's a shame the ending wasn't what you hoped for though! :(<br /><br />Thanks for sharing Keerthana, and, as always, <b>BRILLIANT</b> review! <3<br /><br />~ Zoe @ <a href="http://www.zoereads.org" rel="nofollow">The Infinite To-Read Shelf</a> Zoe N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08980248647201093593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-10422069743181182232014-06-25T17:34:00.302-04:002014-06-25T17:34:00.302-04:00I never finished the Shiver trilogy but I did love...I never finished the Shiver trilogy but I did love the first book ♥ <br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed SINNER for the most part.

Your review makes me think I will. I think I'm going to stop stressing over it and just sink and take the story as it comes when I pick this up. That's the best way to enjoy Maggie's writing, IMO. I hope this is at the ALA. Brilliant review, Keertana! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.com
