SINNER by Maggie Stiefvater {Review}

Reviewed by Elisa SINNER A Shiver Novel by Maggie Stiefvater Series: Shiver (Book 4) Hardcover: 368 pages Publisher: Scholastic Press (July 1, 2014) Goodreads | Amazon A standalone companion book to the internationally bestselling Shiver Trilogy. 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? Wolves. I picked up this book because I adore Maggie Stiefvater, it is about a guy who writes music, which is something I like to do, and it takes place in Southern California, not too far from where I am from. (Iron...
