I'm Shiver-ing Now

Are you a Twilight fan?  If so, you probably will love Shiver, by Maggie Stiefvater.  This is the first in a trilogy (The Wolves of Mercy Falls.)  The second book Linger is available, and the third Forever comes out in July 2011. 

Yes, it's a sappy love story about a girl and a werewolf. 

That being said, I rather enjoyed it.  Grace, our heroine, is mauled by wolves (werewolves) when she is a child.  From then on a strange, beautiful wolf with yellow eyes watches over her from the woods behind her house.  Fast forward six years and Grace is now 17.  She meets Sam, a beautiful boy with eyes just like her wolf's quite by accident when hunters invade her forest.  Grace's parents are basically not "present" and quickly Grace and Sam become inseparable.  He visits her bedroom secretly at night (like Edward in Twilight.)  First there is just some heavy "petting" (ha!) 

But parents be wary, werewolves aren't quite the gentlemen that vampires are I guess and let's just say that the chastity thing is not quite the lesson here as in the aforementioned vampire series.  

As an adult I'm on to the next book...
