It pains me to give this book only 3 stars, but I cannot, in good conscience rate it any higher. I must first say that the ending was satisfying, and I am glad there was a conclusion to this story. 
 However, I found a great deal that affected my enjoyment of this book that I did not necessarily feel reading Shiver and Linger. Maggie's prose are amazing and there were times when I re-read a sentence more than once just to feel the substance of it in my head again. However, that was also somewhat of a downfall for me in this installment. It was too wordy, and the wordiness detracted from the actual content of the story. Another detractor was the different POV's. While I understand why authors do this (or maybe I don't actually understand, but I accept it), I don't particularly care for it. I feel that it slows the pace of the story, especially when it changes as often as it does in Forever. I did not feel as strongly about the change in POV's in Shiver and Linger, however, and that is probably since there were not as many speakers. 
 I was also extremely underwhelmed by the reunion scene between Grace and Sam. It was so anticlimactic, it almost hurt to read. I won't go into what I think could have made that better, as I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone else. 
 Now, on to what I enjoyed. I loved Cole in this installment! His character grew and we got to see much more about what makes him tick and who he really is. The interplay between Cole and Isabel and the sexual tension was really fun to read. I am also satisfied with the conclusion and am glad that the story reached closure, yet there was still a bit of mystery to make the reader wonder what would happen to the characters.
