the cold.
Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—watches back. He feels deeply familiar to her, but she doesn't know why.
the heat.
Sam has lived two lives. As a wolf, he keeps the silent company of the girl he loves. And then, for a short time each year, he is human, never daring to talk to Grace...until now.
the shiver.
For Grace and Sam, love has always been kept at a distance. But once it's spoken, it cannot be denied. Sam must fight to stay human—and Grace must fight to keep him—even if it means taking on the scars of the past, the fragility of the present, and the impossibility of the future.

Ah, Shiver. The first reason why I picked it up is because the book is beautiful. Did I regret picking it up? No. Was it good? Yes.
First of all, this book doesn’t have the best plot ever. Yet, I couldn’t seem to care. There are some points in the book where nothing seems to be really going on, except live with Sam and Grace. Yet, I love the interaction between both of them, so I didn’t mind.
Stiefvater writes beautifully. I was captivated by the way she writes her characters, how she describes everything; the smell, the emotions… The changing point of view may annoy some readers, but it didn’t annoy me. It think it helps understand why they act the way they do.
I have read that many feels like it is Twilight: Team Jacob version, because they feel the characters are similar. I don’t really think so. Sam isn’t as old-fashioned as Edward, or as impulsive as Jacob. Grace isn’t as helpless as Bella. I like Grace. Yes, she is slightly obsessed with wolves, but wouldn’t anyone be in a way if they were attack by some when they were young?
The ending could’ve been a little better for me, because I feel like there was something missing in the last chapters. Maybe it is because everything will be answered in Linger (or not as there is a third, Forever, coming soon.), but I feel like she could have given a little more, or even a little less.
Overall, I enjoyed it. I can’t wait to go to Chapter to pick Linger up.
I give Shiver an 8.5/10.
Peace, love and lots of books!
