Shiver, written by Maggie Stiefvater, is a book about werewolves, romance, and adventure. Shiver is the first story in a four-book series called The Wolves of Mercy Falls. It is written from the point of view of Grace Brisbane and Sam Roth, who are the main characters.
The story begins with Grace's past. When Grace was a little girl, she was attacked by a pack of wolves, which led to her getting bit. However, she didn't turn into a wolf like she was supposed to. After this incident, Grace becomes attached to the wolves, specifically a one yellow-eyed wolf she calls "her wolf."
Years after her attack, another student of Mercy Falls is supposedly "killed." People began to kill the wolves together. Grace dislikes this idea and attempts to stop it. Her wolf, Sam, gets shot, but survives and ends up on her porch. She eventually finds out he's a werewolf and that he is "her wolf." This leads to romance between to two and all the wolf's secrets being exposed.
I found this book extremely interesting and heart-warming. It always kept me wanting to read more. I would definitely read it again and recommend it to anyone who enjoys wolves and fantasy. It is available at the John I. Burton library.
