Shiver
Sam’s not just a normal boy — he has a secret. During the summer he walks and talks as a human, but when the cold comes, he runs with his pack as a wolf. Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house — but never dreamed that she would fall in love with one of them. Now that they’ve found each other, the clock ticks down on what could be Grace and Sam’s only summer together.
Linger
Can Grace and Sam last? Each will have to fight to stay together — whether it means a reckoning with his werewolf past for Sam, or for Grace, facing a future that is less and less certain. Enter Cole, a new wolf who is wrestling with his own demons, embracing the life of a wolf while denying the ties of being human. For Grace, Sam, and Cole, life is harrowing and euphoric, enticing and alarming. As their world falls apart, love is what lingers. But can it be enough?
Forever
For Grace, Sam, and Cole, the story continues — only now, the stakes are even higher than before. Wolves are being hunted. Lives are being threatened. It’s becoming harder and harder to hold on to one another. In the conclusion to Maggie Stiefvater’s bestselling, breathtaking trilogy, love is the question — and the answer.
Maggie Stiefvater's life decisions have revolved around her inability to be gainfully employed. Talking to yourself, staring into space, and coming to work in your pajamas are frowned upon when you're a waitress, calligraphy instructor, or technical writer (all of which she's tried), but are highly prized traits in novelists and artists (she's made her living as one or the other since she was twenty-two). Maggie now lives a surprisingly eccentric life in the middle of nowhere, Virginia, with her charmingly straight-laced husband, two kids, and neurotic dog.

I Also Recommend:
The premise of the wolves of Mercy Falls series is great. It's werewolves like we would never picture them (as real wolves). The plot throughout the three books is strong as well as the subplots. The characters, though underdeveloped, are very lovable and realistic. Maggie Stiefvater's writing style is elegant yet simplistic. The characters themselves are complex and very lovable. However, I feel that I could have gotten to know many of them better. There was something missing there. The beginning of all three books is slow going. It took me a little while to get into them but once I did, it was hard to put them down. I felt (for the first couple of books) that the whole first half could have been missing and I would have been fine with that. I have to say that I was very disappointed with the last book. It had the best plot out of all three books. It could have been edge of your seat thrilling if written more carefully and developed further. I felt as if Maggie just wanted to finish the book and gave us the main ideas minus the details. Forever started off slow (like the others). Then, just as you're getting to the good part, it was rushed. The ending could have been developed further to engage the reader in a more intense manner. Regardless, I enjoyed the series and do recommend it for all teen fiction lovers. I'm sure you will enjoy it as well.

Maggie Stiefvater has written a compelling coming of age story with a twist and her heroine must ultimately readjust the truths she thought she knew about those around her. The style is fast and stylish, and the different voices give a perspective into the heart and mind of teen boys and girls alike. Better written than the Twilight saga, the fantasy comes alive but it was the sentiments that were so moving, I had to check whether Ms. Stiefvater was herself a teenage girl.

I bought this set for my son who is 12. He just kept reading one after another. He absolutely loved the story line and characters. Maggie Stiefvater is now one of his favorite authors.
