YAY COLE AND ISABEL!!!!!!!!! OMG I AM SO EXCITED!!!

EXPECTED RELEASE DATE JULY 2014!!!!!!!!

I am really excited as well. there are a lot of amazing books coming out 2014 and now I am even more looking forward to this year. I love Cole and Isabel so much, even more than Sam and Grace, 100% more than sam and grace and it feels like she writes this for me :D

Good thinking Renee..Its gonna be great!We didnt see enough of Cole and Isabel, and i wanted more of them!!

OMG. I am so excited!!

I totally thought the same thing at first. But then I was like 'but Maggie wouldn't write a book just for the sake of money'. She said as much in her blog post about this book. I trust her judgement.

I ship Cole and Isabel sooooo much!!!!! I am sooo excited I can't even explain it!!! 2014 is going to be soooo awesome!!!!!! :D

I think she said it was because she feels like their story was left unfinished, kind of rushed as a happy ending for them.

WHOOOP WHOOOP! FOR JULY 2014!!! SO EXCITED!!!!
pssssst! I got to add it to the goodreads database! EEEE!!! :D

I really know what you mean. In a lot of interviews they asked Maggie if she will write another book if the trilogy and she always said NO! Like, a big no. She said she is done with Mercy Falls, so I thought she would never write a new one and I was dissapointed that she wrote one. But she only said that she won't write something more about Sam and Grace and now I am really happy about Sinner. And I am glad that Sinner is a standalone and not a spinn-off series.

But I don't know if you understand it, but I kind of liked how the story of cold and isabel ended. Like, they both had feelings for each other and they kissed, but I liked that fact that we could think about their relationship. What happened and if they'll come back together.
But don't get me wrong, I AM SUPER FREAKING EXCITED.

I think I just have to trust Maggie.

In Maggie we must trust.
I think that is going to be the mantra of all of her fans until Sinner comes out.

that is a very good motto!

"In Maggie we Trust"

I am actually so glad. I love Isabel, and I really felt we didn't get a very satisfying ending to her story, so I'm really glad that we get to know her a bit more and YAY MORE COLE!!!!

"In Maggie we Trust"

I wonder if they are going to start out in Mercy Falls or if they're going to leave somewhere?

We will definitely see Mercy Falls!I bet they are staying..

I mean Isabel moved to LA right? I'm not sure if it was LA but she moved away from Mercy Falls and Cole is back in the sportlight as a singer.
Now Cole is back. Back in the spotlight. Back in the danger zone. Back in Isabel's life. Can this sinner be saved?

omg seriously??? THERE'S A SYNOPSIS????

yeah, I know.

OMG! LOOKING IT UP ON GOODREADS NOW!!!

TEASER COVER TOO!!! ^_^

My heart is beating out of my chest at the thought of this book!!!

ME TOOOOOO!!!!! I JUST WANT IT TO CONTINUE!!!! I LOVE MERCY FALLS!!!!! I REALLY WISH IT WAS A REAL PLACE!!!!!!

I want to visit all of the places that she said the coffee shop and the Crooked Shelf were actually based off of.

ME TOO!!! especially the bookshop and the lolly shop... I looked them up on google maps.... *coughnotstalkerishatallcough*

OMG! I didn't even think to look on google maps!*facepalm* Thanks for that idea Renee.

:D just search the places that are mentioned in the back of Forever in Maggie's note.

That's what they're based off.

I will as soon as I get my hands on Forever again. I just gave my copy back to the library

ooh I can post them on the Forever thread if you want?

That would be awesome Renee thanks!

I posted them! :D

Can't wait !! When I finished "Forever" I was like: "What ?! Is this all that we're going to get ? I want more of Cole and Isabel ! :("
And now I'm going to get it ! Haappyyy :D

I KNOW!!! because I always felt their story was a little unfinished but it was okay because it was basically always a Sam and Grace story from the beginning and Cole and Isabel only came in from Linger, but YAY!!! I'm so happy to get their story! :D

GUYS!! THE COVER FOR SINNER CAME OUT DID YOU SEE???????

Read an excerpt here!

Synopsis:

Sinner follows Cole St. Clair, a pivotal character from the #1 New York Times bestselling Shiver Trilogy. Everybody thinks they know Cole's story. Stardom. Addiction. Downfall. Disappearance. But only a few people know Cole's darkest secret -- his ability to shift into a wolf. One of these people is Isabel. At one point, they may have even loved each other. But that feels like a lifetime ago. Now Cole is back. Back in the spotlight. Back in the danger zone. Back in Isabel's life. Can this sinner be saved?

Cant wait for cole and Isabel!!
Is this spin-off going to be made into a trilogy?

no, it's just a one off. :)
Did you read the first three chapters from the link? ^

No not yet I just saw it... Thanks for the info.

YAY! OMG I'm so excited! I can't wait for July! :D

Its only gonna be one book??r u sure?? thats too bad, i thought we would have a trilogy again..:(

i really don't like the cover that much. I hoped it would fit in more with the others of the series.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping too.But I guess she wanted to differentiate it between Sam and Grace's story and being in Mercy Falls compared to being in LA and being just Cole and Isabel's story.
So I can understand why.

@SteviBookLover, yeah, only 1 book, but I'm happy because I never thought there'd be another book about Cole and Izzy and I'm so glad that Maggie wrote another one. :D

Yeah i agree with u, at least mercy falls didn't end yet :D

YAY! I know, I actually felt so lost when I thought it was over forever!
And I'm so glad we continue Cole and Isabel's story because I'd just learnt that Cole wasn't actually dead and then...

The end.

and I was like
:O but...what?

and now... SINNER!!!!!!
YAYAYAYAYAY!!!! GET EXCITED!!! :D

I have just read the first three chapters and I feel like I am dying. god, this is too good to be true!

"I came back for you, Isabel." MY HEART!

"But L.A. was where Isabel Culpeper was. Thinking her name was a dangerous, obsessive thought-road. I would not let myself call her until I had gotten to the house. I would not call her until I had thought of a theatrical way to tell her I was in California. I would not call her until I was sure she would be happy I was here. If she wasn't happy I was there, then..."

"And now I'd let myself think Isabel's name and there wasn't room for anything else. This car, this interview, this everything else - Isabel was the real thing. She was the song."

"Isabel. Only a few miles away. My heart was starting to tumble inside me. I knew I should contain because I still had a long way to go. But I couldn't quite pull it off. This day had been so many weeks of planning and dreaming in the making."

"I have kissed more famous lips than yours."

Instead, a very familiar voice said, "No, no, I'm looking for something very particular. Oh, wait, I just saw it." I turned around. Cole St. Clair smiled lazily at me.
