I just love to read! For me, it is a way to escape and discover new worlds, to do things you never thought possible, to explore emotions and feelings through words, and I can do it all in the comfort of my imagination. And even though they are not real, I believe the characters you meet in books can change your life and the way you see the world, if you let them.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Synopsis:
For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

My Review:
I was looking for a book that had magic, mystery, conflict, romance, and interesting characters. This had it all! I did not realize when I started reading that this was going to be a trilogy. With that said I was almost disappointed with the end because I felt like it left me short and I did not feel it did the characters justice. But now that I know the story does not end there, I am satisfied with this ending. It was not cheesy which would have been so wrong given the context of the story. It was a light read, entertaining, and it fit perfectly with the January weather.
