Shiver another book by Maggie Stiefvater... and is another teen favourite of mine! It's a bit of a bittersweet romance, but far more palatable than the Twilight series. Again, if you hate Twilight, don't be too quick to judge this book. It has huge elements of the paranormal with people turning into wolves. (Oh stop the eye-rolling... It's good!) However, if you are a fan of fantasy, then check it out! I'm not going to give a plot summary, as you can go online for that. Overall I really enjoy the writing of Ms. Stiefvater. I appreciate how she flips back and forth with each chapter between the main characters, yet managing to maintain the unique voice of each character. The other books in this trilogy include: Linger and Forever. If you wish to check out a preview of Shiver go to http://maggiestiefvater.com/wp-content/uploads/sch-shiverpdf.pdf
