Hello guys! I'm back from my trip, and with a review of Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.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.
I have been wanting to read this book for just about ever. So when I was in Denver at The Tattered Cover I picked up a copy... then when I saw Maggie Stiefvater was coming to Poulsbo (a 45 minute drive from where I live) in mid-October I figured I better start reading... and I loved it!
Grace was super cool. Loads better then Bella from Twilight. Grace wasn't a follower. Or a leader. She's the artistic one who's doing her own thing off in the corner. She's had an "obsession" with the wolves that live in the woods outside her house. But never did she know that the wolves weren't really wolves. Nope, they're humans who change into wolves when it gets to cold.
I loved Maggie Stiefvater's version of werewolves. Who would of thought that they change because it's too cold out? I thought that part was very cool. At the start of each chapter they had the temperature. That was neat.
Besides Sam, I loved the other wolves as well. They were all really cool and interesting. I loved hearing their story before they became wolves as well.
The only flaw I can find in this book is probably that the book didn't getting going fast enough for me, but once it did it was heaven
Shiver is a great novel. I started reading Linger (the second book in this series) a few minutes ago and can't wait to get started with that novel. You must read Shiver. You must!
5/5
Cover Comments: I love the simplicity of this cover. The blue works quite nicely.
I enjoyed this series as well. I really liked the werewolf lore and in the last book you actually go through their wolf forms with them it's very cool.

Giselle- Great! Can't wait to read them.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about the covers of this series that I love. They're so simple, but really pretty at the same time. I've been wanting to read this for a while, but wasn't sure if it would be too Twilight-esque.
ReplyDeleteSosaysthewhale- I adore the covers! My dad says "less is more" it's not at all like Twilight, you must check it out!
ReplyDelete:) Will do! I work in a bookstore & see these books all the time. I'll be sure to pick them up.
ReplyDeletesosaysthewhale- *Jealous* if I didn't have a job writing books, I'd want to selling them.
ReplyDeletelol, my turn to be jealous! That's so awesome. As much as I'd love to do that, the closest I've ever come to writing a book would be NaNoWriMo every year.
ReplyDeleteSosaysthewhale- Lol! Keep writing! I'd love to hear your NaNoWriMo stories!
