Shiver is about a girl named Grace who is in high school. What makes Grace special, though, is that she had a "run in" with some wolves when she was eleven years old. The scars are still there, and she never forgot it. Neither did one particular wolf. Grace has seen "her wolf" each winter and she is sad each summer when he is gone.
What Grace discovers now is that her wolf is actually a boy - a cute, loving, caring, artistic boy named Sam. He's watched and been in love with her since the day he first saw her all those years ago and once they meet - theirs is definitely love at first sight. But how do you go out with a werewolf? What will happen? Is Grace safe with him around. How long do they have together until Sam changes?
While the love story is amazing - the drama in the background is growing. Jack Culpepper was a student at Grace's school and was murdered by the wolves. Many mysteries surround Jack's death and the other wolves complicate things for Grace and Sam.
The book was good. It didn't knock my socks off, but I enjoyed it and I think I will like to read the next installment to see what happens with the characters. I liked the ending - it wrapped up wonderfully but still left you with questions at the same time. The love between Grace and Sam is so sweet, and Sam is a guy that I can see girls wanting to fall for badly. I liked the two points of view given by the author. A good read. I think girls who liked the Twilight saga will like this series, too.
