My Thoughts

I absolutely loved SHIVER. The story was sweet and sensual, exciting and heart-breaking, and happy and sad. Even though it seemed kind of slow at first, I was hooked from the beginning because of the characters. Grace and Sam made the story seem so real. I loved the innocence of the sensuality of their relationship.  I also loved the awkwardness of experiencing first love through them.

My favorite thing about the book was that it was told from both Grace’s and Sam’s POV. Getting to experience the world from both the human and wolf perspective was so enlightening and added so much to the story.

Stiefvater did a great job of forming the story and pulling me through it. I look forward to reading the sequel when it comes out next year.
