Review Detail

I've been
sitting for a while trying to compose this review.  This book has
totally stolen my words.  That's a scary thought, since I'm pretty sure
that has never happened before. 

Shiver
is the story of Grace and Sam.  Grace is a 17 year old girl whose
obsessed with the wolves that live in the woods behind her house. 
There is one wolf who she loves to watch, he sort of feels like "her"
wolf, but she doesn't know why.  Sam is that wolf.  During the summers,
he lives human and is able to be around Grace from a distance.  In the
winters, he is her yellow-eyed wolf that protects her and watches her
from afar.  What draws them to each other?  What is in their pasts that
makes them made to be together? How will they conquer their pasts to be
forever in love?  You'll have to read for yourself to find out. I know
the suspense is killing you.

I am
absolutely, without a doubt, in love with this story.  The tale that
Maggie Stiefvater spins of love, pain, and suspense is one you'll feel
in the depths of your soul.  After reading this book, I felt lost for
words.  I sat clutching the book to my chest with tears running down my
face, wishing that it wasn't over.  The emotions that are painted into
the voices and thoughts of Grace and Sam are those of first loves, old
loves, and forever loves.  I feel the love that Grace and Sam feel for
each other.  I want to live this love.  After reading, Shiver by Maggie
Stiefvater, I assure you you'll feel the same way too.
