SHIVER

Maggie Stiefvater

MSRP $8.99, 400 Pages.

Published by Scholastic.

Love among the lupine.

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

Perfect in Every Way

Rating

Such beautiful prose, heart throbbing love,, and believable romance. My first try at reading the book I didn't like it, I thought it was moving to slow, where was all the action. Also, a part of me was sick of werewolves after reading the Twilight series (not a diss b/c I love, love, love). So I took a break, months and months later I decided to give this book another try and I'm so glad I did because now I'm freaking obsessed with the series. Finished both 'Shiver' and 'Linger' in two weeks. I now have a jealousy complex with Maggie and her in-delph and perfected way of using words. I want more, more, more...Oh and by the way their not really werewolves, their wolves honey, read the book to find out more on her version of them, it's delightfully delicious.


Amazing!!!!

Rating

One of the best books I've read in a long time! Grace is a deep and believable character, and Sam is not your typical breath-taking hero with whom the heroine falls immediately in love with. Sam has a deep and problematic past, and Grace has a real connection with him. Usually not one to fall for the "soul mates" thing, I was surprised when I couldn't put this book down from the start. Beautifully written with an exciting and romantic plot,this is one book I will add to my list of favorites. Read it! You won't be able to put it down! (Oh, and the sequel is just as good!)

Great...but unexpected!

Rating

I've been wanting to read this book ever since it came out. Once I finally got it, I was slightly surprised at the contents of it. To be honest, I was expecting a story that had more to deal with the wolf part of it all, but instead, I found a love story about struggling to be together. Stiefvater is an extremely talented writer none the less; I just wish the book would focus on the wolf aspect more.
