Shiver

Grace and Sam have known each other since Grace was in elementary school. But the first time they ever spoke was in Grace's senior year, when Sam was mortally wounded by a hunter. For six years, Sam and his group have been werewolves, constantly shifting between dog and man with the changing of the seasons. But this year, Sam's instincts tell him that after this summer, there'll be no more exciting peeks into the human world. He'll just be a plain wolf. And to make things even more heartbreaking, he's just met Grace, the love of his life. Now Grace must think up a way to dodge her abandoned friends and cheat fate with science while Sam fights to stay where he is.

So I bet you all have gone into Barnes & Noble and noticed the WHOLE DANG SHELF of Twilight ripoffs vampire novels, right? Well, I always ask myself, what happened to the werewolves? Now, we finally have a very well-written book exclusively about the canines! Although a melancholy air of losing precious time hangs about until the end of the book, there are many laugh-out-loud, absurd, and just cute moments aplenty. In my opinion, every single character is really mixed in well with their social group but still has obvious problems and conflicts. The plot alternates between laid-back narratives and nerve-racking action, so right when you're beginning to get bored of Sam and Grace complimenting/snuggling/kissing glomping each other, there'll be a total turnaround and you're drawn right back into the pages again.
