I'm reading the book Linger by Maggie Stiefvater and it's the second part in a planned trilogy. I've just past page 30 and it's already exciting.
The book is about Grace, a teenage girl who has a life filled with werewolves. When she was just a baby a werewolf dragged her into the forest behind her house. In a strange way she connected with one of the wolves. The wolf (Sam) took her home again, away from the other wolves’ attacks. Grace and Sam got some sort of bond that would last forever; despite all werewolves have no humanlike feelings in their werewolf bodies. They can't think abstract thoughts.
When it's warm outside the werewolves transform into humans, but for over ten years Sam stood on the same place in the forest behind Grace's house watching her and waiting for the summer to come. That's the three months he gets to make Grace notice him as a human, not just like a wolf.
In "Frost"(the first book) they meet and, of course, fall in love. With the help of some friends they succeed to cure Sam from the werewolf transformation, so in "Linger" he's still a human. I haven't got that far in the story of the book yet, but Grace's best friend Olivia got bitten by a werewolf in the end of the last book. Now her parents think that she has ran away because of a letter she wrote to hide the truth from them. That she turns into a werewolf nowadays. A cop thinks he saw Olivia in the forest, as a human of course, since people in common don't know about the wolves. So he went to Sam's job and Grace's home to question them about the case of Olivia. Sam is a terrible liar but he managed to answer the questions without leaving any information or truly lie.
Sam and Grace are in the age to pick a college soon. Grace has been distracted by Sam's presence in the house and hasn't really decided yet. Sam hasn't even thought about a college because he just three months ago became a werewolf every time it was cold around him. (Cold weather means shape shifting)
When I started to read I thought a lot about and around Sam as a person. How the author wanted him to act in different situations, his language or what he brings to the story. Especially his acting in the quote form example:
"But instead of answering my college question, Sam stood and went to the kitchen. I watched him put on the tea kettle and he brought down to mugs from the cabinet over the stove. What now?" /Grace
Grace haven't had that much of god contact with her parents, because they work almost all the time. Now when Sam is staying at theri place(though Grace's parents don't know) she's never alone, but she still got a "parent" in the house. Sam.
When you're in "werewolf mode" you don't age. So basically Sam is much older than he seems to be. He always thinks before talking or acting and I as a reader feel comfortable and pleased every time Sam is in the chapter. The first "thing" that popped up in my head to compare with was Edward Cullen in twilight. Booth are these good guys with an old mind, cute and have a proper behavior. But still they feel mystical and unreachable. Too good to be true, and that’s why I think something is going to happen. Something around Sam that will make me change my mind about him. But I hope I´m wrong! Now in the beginning the story needs him more than ever, to speed the action a bit. I want to get to the more exciting part.
