Shiver


Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater [red:stivoter] is the first book of 'The Wolves of Mercy Falls' trilogy. Ah,, this book is beautifully written. Here is the 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.
It's beautiful/sad love story between Sam [Roth] & Grace [Brisbane]. When I read fictions, I usually love male character rather than the female. But this makes me fall for Grace's character. She is independent, clever, and assertive in a good way. Also Isabel's [Culpeper], she's described as blond, rich, and sarcastic (that can destroy anyone, LOL) in the beginning of the book, but the character's developed to clever (in unbelievably way) and not let the grief go on.

The other characters are Olivia [Marx] and Rachel (Grace's bestfriends), Jack [Culpeper] (Isabel's brother), Beck (Sam's guardian), Shelby, Paul, Ulrich, and Salem.

Well, if you like romance and werewolves thing, you will love this book.
