"Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater [5]

The Cold.

Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house.

One yellow-eyed wolf - her wolf -

watches back. He feels deeply familiar

to her, but she doesn't know why.

The Heat.

Sam has lived two lives. As a wolf, he

keeps the silent company of the girl he

loves. And then, for a short time each year,

he is human, never daring to

talk to Grace...until now.

The Shiver.

For Grace and Sam, love has always

been kept at a distance. But once it's spoken,

it cannot be denied. Sam

must fight to stay human - and Grace

must fight to keep him - even if it

means taking on the scars of the past,

the fragility of the present, and the

impossibility of the future.

Second book read in the name challenge.

Absolutely brilliant....wow, wow, wow!

I so enjoyed reading this book, that it was read in a day...

Could not put it down...

The author is just fantastic and becoming a firm favourite of mine.

Her writing style is so easy to read, it just flows...

A beautiful love story that you think will just not work and defies logic.

I don't want to say too much about the story as it will give it away, so here is just a little snippet...

'And then I opened my

eyes and it was just Grace and

me - nothing anywhere but

Grace and me - she pressing

her lips together as though she

were keeping my kiss inside

her, and me holding this

moment that was as fragile

as a bird in my hands.'

What I will say is that it is written from Grace's view and

Sam's view, which is really good.

It is definitely a must read...especially teenage girls,they will fall in love with it.

If I could give it more than five stars I would.

Have to Read!
