The thrilling conclusion to #1 bestselling Shiver trilogy from Maggie Stievater

In Maggie Stiefvater's SHIVER, Grace and Sam found each other. In LINGER, they fought to be together. Now, in FOREVER, the stakes are even higher than before. Wolves are being hunted. Lives are being threatened. And love is harder and harder to hold on to as death comes closing in.

I have just finished the first book in the triology The Wolves of Mercy Falls, called Shiver. Though I haven`t read Linger yet. I know I will love it. And already looking forward to the third book Forever, who will be released in July 2011. This love story is just 100% adorable <3

Wherever you go by Heather Davis

"Wasn`t Scott the one who broke up with you on Valentine`s?"
Marisa threw up her hands. "Yes. But that is not the point. Are you listening to me? It`s not going to be the same ever. You can`t wish it back the way it was and have it happen."

Summary: (from Goodreads)
Conceived in a lie and trapped in a tree throughout her gestation, Morrigan's birth was truly magical. After that start, she spent the next eighteen years raised as a normal girl in Oklahoma.

Upon discovering the truth of her heritage, her rage and grief take on a power of their own, carrying her back to the world of Partholon. Yet, instead of being respected as the daughter of the Goddess Incarnate, Morrigan feels like a shunned outsider.

In her desperation to belong to Partholon, she confronts forces she can't fully understand or control. And soon a strange darkness draws closer…

The Story:
This story is mostly about Rhiannons daughter Morrigan. Who finds about her heritage. That her mother once was high priestess for a goddess in another world.
But things get complicated when you find out that everything you knew about yourself and your life, shows up to be one big lie. So who is she really? And what is she suppose to do with her life?
Will she find all her answers in the other world.?
My Opinion:
I liked this book, it was great entertainment. Though I didn`t like it as much as the first one. There wasn`t that much humor in this one, but still the story was ok.
I like the little romance parts and the whole to worlds, so different, but with same people. If you read the books, you understand what I mean :P Like the idea and the story.
So I gave this book a 5 out of 6 stars :)

It kept me entertained the whole way. And looking forward to read the rest of the series :) Just hope they will translate them to norwegian. Since I have read this series in norwegian so far. :)

Curious: Luminous

Luminous av by Dawn Metcalf

As reality slips and time stands still, Consuela finds herself thrust into the world of the Flow. Removed from all she loves into this shifting world overlapping our own, Consuela quickly discovers she has the power to step out of her earthly skin and cloak herself in new ones-skins made from the world around her, crafted from water, fire, air. She is joined by other teens with extraordinary abilities, bound together to safeguard a world they can affect, but where they no longer belong.

When murder threatens to undo the Flow, the Watcher charges Consuela and elusive, attractive V to stop the killer. But the psychopath who threatens her new world may also hold the only key to Consuela's way home.

I am really curious on this book. Mostly because of the cover. Oh my gosh.. Just look at it. Isn´t it just pretty pretty :) Love it :) And other than that the summary also sounds interesting :) So this book I just have to have when it`s being released. In July 2011

Are you planning on reading this book? And what do you think of the cover :)
