The Concluding Volume of the Mercy Falls trilogy
Written by Maggie Stiefvater
Forever is the final installment of the Mercy Falls trilogy. As we come into the story Grace has been a wolf for a few months now. Sam is trying to put his life together as he waits for her to return. Everyone thinks that he is responsible for her disappearance, and he is always under a watchful eye. Eventually Grace does return, but since she is so new to the changing she is not stable yet, and can change at any moment. Cole is working hard to try and find a cure, so that they can all lead normal lives. Isabel struggles with him as he ends up needing her help, after his failed attempts. It was great to see the relationships build with the characters. The last few chapters get intense as Isabel’s father is trying to exterminate the wolves. I loved how the book did not feel quite finalized; it lets you create your own ending.
