SHIVER by Maggie Stiefvater




Summary from Barnes and Noble: "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. "

I just finished this book about 10 or 15 minutes ago. I'm still in shock from the ending. It was really good. I will say, it took me a long time to be completely dragged into the book but it was really worth it. The book was really poetic and it was very descriptive. I loved it. The charecters are really well developed, it makes you feel like your in the story with them. I dont know if anyone else noticed this but music plays a great role in the story, and so does books/poetry. Not to give any spoilers away but SAM is allways thinking up song lyrics in his head. This book is definately different from all the books on the market now, it dosent nessesarily have an EXACT problem that MUST be solved, and that's good.
