Shiver

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater is the first book of The Werewolves of Mercy Falls series.

Grace is a seventeen year old girl, but when she was younger, she was attacked by the wolves who lived in the forest behind her house and was bitten. There and then was the first time she saw the wolf with the yellow eyes. Her wolf. She watches him everyday from her window in the winter, but he disappears in the other seasons.

Sam is an eighteen year old werewolf. He changes into a wolf every winter and changes back in the spring, but his years as human are numbered, as are the rest of the pack's. He watched Grace from the forest.

When a classmate of Grace's, Jack, is said to have been killed by the wolves, hunters are sent to kill the wolves. This is when Grace and Sam meet. Both human. When the werewolves change, they keep their eyes. Grace and Sam fall in love, but under harsh boundaries. As winter inches closer, Sam could change any time. And he may not change back in the spring. Meanwhile, Isabel, Jack's sister, suspects that Jack didn't die but was also bitten and turned into a werewolf. One of Grace's friends, Olivia, gets in a fight with her, and don't talk. When they do, Olivia acts strange, but Grace doesn't have an idea what may be going on. There's also the mystery of Grace. She was bitten, but never changed. Maybe there's a cure. And if there is, Sam and Jack want it.

9/10 I totally loved this book and am reading the sequel. It isn't for everyone though. It has a lot of romance, more than there is suspense, so if you're not a romance lover (like myself) you might find it boring. Also, if you're not a fan of fantasy creatures like werewolves, this may not be for you either, but I'm usually not one to read fantasy or science fiction and loved this.
