"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 was some what worried before I read this book being that I hadn't really like many of the werewolf books I'd read in previous years except for Twilight. But after the first chapter all of my fears were washed away. Shivers werewolf lore is different and more imaginative than any other werewolf book I've read so far.
Ms. Stiefvater's writing is wonderful. Being both beautiful and descriptive at the same time, Shivers writing gives the feeling of sadness, playing in with the story well. Grace and Sam's romance will give you shivers guaranteed!
If your looking for a fast paced, action packed read though, this is not the book for you, being that there is close to no action and it is kind of slow as the two teens get to know each other.
For all you team Jacob people out there this is the book for you.
