Comparing Covers

On the topic of Linger what do you think about the different covers for the US (left hand side) and the UK(right hand side)?

I think I prefer the US cover, I'm not a fan of the font for the UK cover of Linger, and I am very jealous of the green font in the American copy of Linger.

Linger by Maggie Stiefvater

Description from Waterstone's:

"In "Shiver", Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in "Linger", they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping dangerous secrets. For Sam, it means grappling with his werewolf past ...and figuring out a way to survive the future. But just when they manage to find happiness, Grace finds herself changing in ways she could never have expected..."

My Review:

Linger was the fourth book by Maggie Stiefvater that I've read this year, and boy she never fails to impress. Her lyrical writing is beautiful and she does know how to break our hearts, well at least her characters' anyways.

At first I wasn't sure about the new narrators in Linger, Cole and Isabel, but they were added in seamlessly. Isabel is one kick-ass character, and though I personally wasn't much of a fan of Cole they were as perfect for each other as Sam and Grace were - but in an entirely different way.

Linger was beautiful and horrible all at the same time. It was a perfect middle novel for a trilogy; I must admit that I much preferred Shiver. It has definitely made me hungry for more and I cannot wait for the final instalment, Forever.
