Grace comes home to find a boy about her age with a bullet in his flesh on her porch. A boy with golden eyes named Sam. Grace soon finds out Sam has a terrible past and a future already decided. He is werewolf, changing into a wolf in the cold winter and a human in the warm summer. As Grace Falls in love with Sam, she fights to keep him away from the cold. But the hunters are still out to kill the wolves, and when Jack's sister claims to have seen him in person, Grace has no choice but to help her find her brother. As winter draws near, Grace fights to find a cure to keep Sam human. __Shiver__ is a fast pace, fantasy novel great for anyone who loves animals or love stories. I would rate __Shiver__ a 7/10 because it is a little slow at parts. I would recommend this book for girls because it is a love story told from a girl's point of view.

(Theatergirl7) I just reread this book, and it was just as great as before. Loved this book, rating 10/10. She is an amazing writer. Here is my review. Grace looked out the window, every winter, since she was little, watching, waiting. When she was 8, she was dragged into the woods and almost eaten alive by the wolves, but something stopped them. Her wolf. The one with the Yellow Eyes. She knows there's something familiar about him, but she just can't place it. When she finds a boy that was shot lying on her porch, she sees the inmistacable yellow eyes, she knows it's him. She doesn't know why or how, but it's him. Grace soon descovers that his name is Sam, and he has had a troubled past, and (hpmac59s words) a //decided future//. She soon falls in love with him, and fights to keep him human. With winter right around the corner, Grace if faced with one decision that could cure Sam forever, or kill him slowlytion, and painfully. This book is well written, has the right amount of action, and is a love story for all ages. -Theatergirl17, raffle tickets toward Abercrombie Gift Card Please
