Are you fascinated by wolves? Ever wondered what they felt like inside? What they were actually thinking? Then you will love Shiver, a dark romance between Grace Brisbane, a girl fascinated by wolves and a werewolf, transformed by weather, Sam Roth

The story is narrated by Sam and Grace . For years Grace has watched Sam in the woods and he is "her wolf". However, when Sam becomes human, Grace nurses him into care and takes him in. Due to her parents being absent most of the time, Sam is only discovered near the end of the book. For Sam and Grace, an incredible yet intense relationship is formed between them as Grace tries to keep Sam away from the cold. There are other secondary characters in this book who really make the book.

What I particularly liked in this book was the characteristics of the characters. Grace seemed to be quite assertive whilst Sam, ironically, seemed to have quite a soft personality which I found interesting.

I would recommend this book for girls aged 12+ but I think the odd boy would probably like this book. This is not like Twilight! It is its own original book and I loved watching the plot unfold and Sam and Grace's desperate attempt to stay together.

This book has two sequels, Linger and Forever and each book seems to make would want to read the next one. This book is classic teenage literature and a great book to read. It changes your view on wolves drastically and makes even the most wolf-phobic person like them. I strongly recommend this book and the other books in this series.
