Just when I thought Icouldn’t take yet anothersupernatural romance, alongcomes Shiver to blow thatnotion out of the water!

Shiver is the unashamedlyromantic story of a teenagegirl, Grace, who falls in lovewith a werewolf, Sam. Grace has had alifelong fascination with wolves aftersurviving a harrowing wolf attack when shewas younger. Shiver puts an interesting twistin standard werewolf mythology: thewerewolves are human during the warmermonths and become wolves in cold weather.

When Grace finally meets Sam as a human,he is in his last summer before changingpermanently into a wolf. The two teenagershave to fight the dropping temperature, andother dangerous forces in town, to keep theirlove alive. Told in the alternating voices ofGrace and Sam, Shiver stands out from thepack, due to its poetic language, successfulevocation of a cold Minnesota town and thesurrounding woods, and the believableromance between its main characters.
