I was really excited to read this one, especially since the highlight of Forever for me was the Isabel/Cole dynamic. Though both are still raw and unashamedly messed up, Cole didn't seem to hit the same stride as he did before; perhaps it was the juxtaposition of Cole v. Sam that I liked. Good read, but still not as good as Shiver. 3 stars.
Update 9/10/15: Reread it because I remembered it being fairly enjoyable. Cole seems fake to me- he's supposed to come off as more emotionally vulnerable (he cares about Isabel and Jeremy's opinions, and is hurt when they don't believe he's sober/changed/etc), but I don't truly believe it. He seems shallow- always going for the next wolf hit, and focusing on the way (even if he doesn't particularly like the way).

And Isabel- she's so damn prickly. Chill out, girl. Because she's very close to being worse than prickly, especially to Sofia (she is to Cole, too, but that's kind of their thing + Cole deserves it most of the time).
And so I'm lowering it to 2 stars. I felt severely underwhelmed, and won't be rereading this one again.
