The Wereling #3
Resurrection
Kate Folan comes from a family of werewolves. She'll only become fully 'wolf herself when she mates with a male werewolf. But she vows that will never happen. The last thing she wants is to give in to her evil heritage.
Then she meets Tom Anderson. Tom is a wereling-a werewolf who retains his humanity even in his wolf form. He was "turned" by Kate's mother, who chose wisely.
Tom and Kate can't help falling for each other. But if they give in to their feelings, Kate will become the thing she hates most. Unless they can find a cure. . . .

I just loved this series. I thought the first book was a little slow in the very beginning but once you get past the turning point its actually quite good. I loved the second and third books in this trilogy!
The book is much like the Twilight series or Harry Potter series, except that this one is a werewolf community. Its a very smooth and easy read like the series I mentioned above. They are quite a bit smaller then those books but very good.
The main characters are around 16-17 and even though there is attraction there, its ill-fated. The mother of the girl is horrific as is her brother. There are a few parts that are kind of disturbing, maybe a bit to graphic for young readers, but they are few and far between and add to the gruesome life being depicted here. In book 3 in particular you get a really good view of her father and just what kind of man errr wolf he is and its a bit surprising.
This was probably the saddest of the three books, I shed a few tears when our main male character's parents took a more active role in this story. I was happy with the ending but wish it had more descriptive or given an epilogue.
I really enjoyed this trilogy, it was a quick, easy read and very enjoyable!

this is the final book of the wereling series, Tom, kate and the rest of the gang gather in chigago for the final battle against tapaka. They were pursued by the dark chapter, a pureblood clan in Chicago, during the beginning of the book. Jason assumed that they wanted him dead, but finds out that their on his side, sort of. Tapakas plan evetialy unravels and they find out that hes attempting to resuscitate the great wolf from the dead, so the vampires would have no choice but to obey their leader. Things turned out different when the great wolf was revived, he despised tapakas ideas and tapaka ended up getting killed by the great wolf. Stacy created a serum that would be poisonous to the great wolf and he eneded dieing. As Tom waits for his cure from jicaque, he spends his time with kate.

Can't remember much, as I read this as a teenager. But I do remember liking this series

Absolutely adored this little trilogy! I will most definitely be making a second trip through the series again. I was hoping for a little more of a kiss from Tom and Kate at the end but the beautiful ending of them embracing with Kate’s silent words “This isn’t how it ends, this it how it begins” was a such an amazing way to end it. Leaves us to imagine what their futures would be together, and all I can see is them never being apart and spending their lives together ❤️

Was an okay time filler for about 4 hours (maybe). Was full of action but felt cheap. Noticed the author always kind of has everything done for the main characters by side characters and they are just witnessing what happens. Nobody develops everything was predictable and you get cheated on the ending.

Tom and Kate have come to Chicago to find out why Tapaka's so interested in the city, but so far nothing has come up. As Christmas closes in, they join old friends and new and attempt to infiltrate Tapaka's latest headquarters. But Tapaka's plan stretches farther than any of them believe possible, and the rise of the werewolf may happen despite Tom and Kate's best efforts to stop it.
Another city, another challenge. Science and magic blend in modern sorcery where gene therapy has just as big a part as necromancy in raising the dead. Tapaka's got the resources, the 'wolves, and most importantly, the time to carry out his scheming. And his end, at least, was fitting if not surprising.
Honestly, the book lost me when it threw in the evil German necromancers who were helping Hitler, then moved to South America when WWII crashed their plans. The Nazis had no influence on the plot and it felt like the author just wanted to throw in as many tropes as possible. The Dark Chapter was a good idea that never went anywhere, which made the fate of Chung only a minor point of interest. The blend of science and magic was a better idea than it actually worked out in the prose (given how complicated and compact DNA is, that brains can be convinced via chants to rewire their own DNA in moments... just admit magic is real and have done with it). Even the final battle felt more ridiculous than anything else; Tom's joke in Stacy's lab was a dead giveaway to the end.
It's a disappointing and predictable end to a series that never had much going for it in the first place. The books are all flash and no substance. It might be okay for one read, but it doesn't hold up to a reread. I rate this book Not Recommended.

OKay so i soooo read this out of order. I SKIPPED THE SECOND ONE!!!WHY! I really thought this one was the second one but it sooo wasn't but i read it anyways because i couldn't help it! i mean it was so fast pace and thrilling that i could not put it down. I told myself "HEY I NEED TO READ THE SECOND! WHY ARE YOU CONTINUING TO READ THIS!?" and well to be honest i could not stop myself (lost all self-control) . its lame i know it but i did and i still say it was crazy good so there, it geta solid five.

This is the conclusion of the trilogy, and although it was pretty good, the ending was just slightly disappointing – a bit of a damp squib. I wanted the conclusion to resolve everything but it felt like it had been left just a little open in case the author had an idea for a further installment. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad – not by a long shot – it just didn’t quite deliver in the way I had hoped it would. Still, over all, the trilogy is a decent enough read and a fun way to fill a few hours if you like young adult paranormal books.

3.5 for keeping the plot up with action. *spoilers ahead* Started this series a few days ago and finished it like...maybe 4 or 5 days later? Anyways, this book was a good distraction. I don't recommend for people who like some character development. This book is lacking in that specific region. I was hoping that Kate would confront her other self. Hell there were some werewolves who weren't that bad, but no. Took the easy way out and just stayed human, killed off all the two dimensional bad characters. Meh.

I do like me some trilogies. They have a nice clean structure without the potential of turning into porn/redundancy/mary-sue as a series sometimes does.
The third book does not disapoint with action. Old friends and enemies return, a few new friends and a few new enemies reach out on the sidelines.
It's a happy-go-lucky sentimental ending which I am not partial too. But all-in-all I would recommend this to those who have lost faith in YA horror/science fiction.

This book is one of the best books that I have read. This book is about two young adults that go to Chicago,because that's were all of their enemies are gathering at,to resurrect a terrible force from the past to help him bring about his revolution. Tom and Kate the two main characters know that they cant let their enemies resurrect this terrible force. When I first saw this book I thought that I wouldn't like it, but when I started reading this book I really liked it.

July 27, 2011Teenager in a bad situation, cut off from parents, and no-one to trust.
There is a lot of conflict in this story, and although I understand why the author has written her story this way, it's not a style I enjoy. It may appeal to teenagers, as they may be able to identify wqwith the characters.

Amazing Book!!! The way they ended this book was spectacular. They brought everything to a close perfectly. Honestly i didnt think that they were going to get out of some of the things that went on. This was an amazing series and i honestly wish Stephen Cole wouldnt have ended it so soon. But overall amazing book.

Overall one of the better books in the series though the second one was pretty bad. The one thing that I really like about this series is how believable it is. You really sink into the characters and think about what you would do if you were in that situation. Tom and Kate finally get together but it isn't that climatic as I would have liked.

This is the last book in the series and I found that I liked it a little less than books 1 and 2. The plot here was kind of ... iffy and this book wasn't as exciting as the first two. However, I still love the series and give it 4 stars overall.
February 17, 2011
Incredible from start to finish! One of the first books I ever read about werelings and one of the best. The first book is not the greatest and moves slow but by the second book you can't put it down. With a great story line, teen love story, and good detail this book is a must read!

Read 20 pages while waiting for a movie in 2008. Need to finish it. Not a bad series in terms of action but its lacking character development. Its more of a read it while your waiting for another book kind of series. Something easy to pick up. Finally finishing this series in 2016!

Even better than the first two!
