Day 397: One Hundred Book Challenge: Book Nineteen

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

                Recently, I took a car ride three hours away to celebrate an amazing woman. Her name is Hanna and she’s awesome. She lent me some books to contribute to my hundred book challenge. She spent about two hours straight talking about this series with me and of course it was the first book I picked up.

                Shiver is a werewolf series, but not like ugly half man half wolf things, they switch between wolf form and human form. If you are bitten, you only get so many years of changing back and forth before you become strictly wolf only. Well, this girl, got bitten when she was a very young age, but one of the wolves saved her. She remembered him and throughout the years they watch each other from afar. But one day, a boy is attacked and people try to kill the wolves off because they see them as a threat. The wolf that saved the girl is shot and it turns him back into a human. Usually they only turn back into wolves during the warm months. Heat keeps them human, cold turns them wolf.

                It turns into this intense love story and it is a trilogy and they are all out so you don’t need to worry about waiting. This book was awesome and I bet the next two are too. Be careful though, the author has admitted that she wrote the series in an effort to make her readers cry.

(Also, you will never EVER want two characters to JUST FUCK ALREADY as badly as you will in this book.)
