Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Shiver is a story told in an alternating fashion between two characters. The writing is seamless and Stiefvater makes the transitions between the characters flow with ease. The characters are well written, the plot is original and the ending leaves you craving more (sequel is due out in fall of 2010). The romance is sweet and innocent, similar to that of the first love. An enjoyable read. Curl up with this book tonight.

Grade: B+ 

 Synopsis 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.
