Forever (Wolves of Mercy Falls, book 3)

Author: Maggie Stiefvater
Hardcover:  400 pages
Publisher: Scholastic Press (July 2011)
Rating:  5 for the series

Synopsis: 
In this last book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, Sam waits for Grace to shift for the spring and Sam, Cole and Isabel fight to keep all of the wolves safe as Isabel's father goes through plans of eliminating the pack by helicopter.

Response:
For those YA readers who are enamored by the paranormal books out there, but don't necessarily want the more sexually charged nature of vampires, this trilogy is a worthy read. At the center is the model relationship between Sam and Grace who prove book after book that they are willing to sacrifice and fight for each other. I think it's a healthy relationship, but I'm more enamored by the angst ridden Cole and Isabel who don't have enough love for themselves to really connect with someone else.
