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.

After waiting four long and intensely boring weeks for this 390 page book too come out, I finally read it!!
Here's what I thought: Stiefvater's descriptors are poetically captivating and beautifully depictive. The characters are believable and enchanting, each indivdually different, yet all together cohesive. The story moves at a steady pase, the characters becoming more transparent as the novel draws to an end. Shiver is a sweet and endearing YA romance novel, ensnaring the reader from the first page.
Recomended for lovers of : Twilight, Blood and Chocolate
