Read this series through middle schooland yes my mind was very very very much less complex than it is nowbut it could interpret when it didn't like a series...and it also knows to sensibly keep it's metaphorical mouth shut or else it might get its ass kicked by the people who obviously rave about this book and love it to like. f***ng Pluto and back. I thought this series was nice. It was fine...But that's all it is to me. Honestly, the appeals that other people found, I just didn't discover, and throughout this entire series, I just felt like the whole plot was strained and absolutely tedious. Now just because I think this doesn't mean other people should read it.Read at your own discretion.But these are just my honest opinions.Happy Reading folks. The series focuses on Grace and Sam. Grace is a high school student in love with her wolf boy Sam. Since the werewolf/shifter genre has grown tired, Maggie decided to throw some ice on this one, literally. When winter hits Sam shifts back into fluffy. Grace and Sam grow closer and closer and closer and closer (ha -had to do it) while dreading the approaching cold. A few other characters are thrown in the mix and stick around throughout the series. Some annoyed me while others made me feel sad (I guess that’s good writing, huh? Evoking emotion from reader). Also, Grace has an interesting relationship with her folks which I assumed would be nothing more than fluff for a young adult book. But props to Maggie for putting a little focus there. Although I thought book one and two were cute, I was disappointed with book three. Grace and Sam are suppose to have an epic love story. Like Bella and Edward, right? So I thought they deserved a more specific ending similiar to Peter’s Jackson’s final Lord of the Rings film. When I left the theater I was pleased with a very thorough and all questions kinda answered ending. Hey, maybe it works for others but I kinda like to read a bit more after the climax. I enjoy feeling the intensity of drama build up but hate a sucky let down. I definitely think the series is appropriate for 8th graders and up. Language okay. Death yes. But don’t we all live in some kind of gangsta world?
