Rachel reviews Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Grace was nine when it happened. She was pulled from her backyard by a pack of starving wolves, and had already given up when a yellow-eyed wolf saved her from that gruesome fate. Since then she has had a thing for wolves, especially the yellow-eyed wolf who visits the woods near her home every winter. It isn’t until she finds a strange boy with familiar yellow eyes bleeding on her porch that she realizes the truth.  

Sam was in his wolf form when he was shot by hunters, and in his desperation he has turned to Grace for help. The two obviously have feelings for one another, but they may not have time to see where it goes. Winter is coming soon and the temperature is the link to Sam’s humanity. Once it is cold, the werewolves must return to their wolf bodies; however, eventually they lose the ability to shift altogether. Sam fears that this is his last chance to have a human body and that adds both suspense and urgency to their story. Grace suspects that there might be a cure, but it is untested and possibly deadly. Is their love for one another worth to the risk to Sam’s life? How much would you give up for the chance to be with the one you love?

I absolutely loved this book, and would highly recommend it to anyone! Let me know what you think...
