Okay. I really like this book! Shiver, by Maggie Stiefvater is unique and yet comfortable all at the same time! It's very much girl meets boy who isn't quite human, yet the story behind it all takes it all in a new and unique direction.
Shiver is the story of Grace and Sam. Grace is a fairly typical high school student who is drawn to a wolf that lives in her woods. That wolf happens to be Sam, a human for part of the year and a wolf for the rest. When Grace finds the human Sam injured on her porch, they quickly fall in love. It's not overly corny or overly romantic, it is just right. Time is against the couple as the time is coming for Sam to become a wolf again. They struggle against nature to stay together.
This is the first in what is so far a trilogy. I'm anxious to start reading Linger, the sequel. While this is definitely a young adult book, I know a huge number of adults who enjoy books in this genre. If you are one of those people, you won't be disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel and highly recommend it.
