From a dazzlingly talented young writer, a haunting and original supernatural romance in the vein of TWILIGHT.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 … 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.

I was told I should read this series YEARS ago and just never really got around to it. I am regretting that now, this first book was amazing. I have never read a werewolf trope that was so unique before.
The alternating chapters gave us a glimpse into both Sam and Grace’s views and made the story deeper than it would have been otherwise. You …
Great book to have if you are looking for one! One of my fav’s. Give it a try!
Made me keep on flipping the pages!
As a child, Grace was pulled from her tire swing by the wolves. But one wolf refused to let the pack kill her and carried her home. Ever since Grace has held a fascination with them, some believe it is an obsession. But every winter Grace watches for the yellow-eyed wolf that saved her. And every winter the yellow-eyed boy in a wolf’s body watches …
I absolutely loved this book so much. I couldn’t put it down. One of my top favorite wolf books.
WOW WOW WOW!! That pretty much sums up how I feel about this book. I so did not want it to end so you can imagine my utter delight when I discovered it was the first in a trilogy. WOOP WOOP! I can’t wait to read what happens to Grace and Sam and all their ‘friends’ in the next one.
This is the first book I’ve ever read by Maggie Stiefvater and it …
This teen take on the were-wolf genre is different from most as the were-wolves are either human or they are a wolf, like you would find in nature. They don’t change by the light of the moon, but by changes in the temperature. The story revolves around Grace who was attacked by the wolves of Mercy Falls when she was eleven. Since then she has …
Shiver was not Maggie Stiefvater’s debut novel, but it was the one that rocketed her to stardom. I remember this book being all the rage when I was in middle school (a long time ago, folks), every girl in my grade swooning over the romance of it all. I’ve been very late to the Stiefvater train, not out of any malicious avoidance, but because of …
It was a nice book! It took me a little longer than usual to finish because I’ll be honest I did get a little bored… BUT the details and the story writing was soooooo nice and vivid! I loved it. It was only too slow for my taste. There’s more books on this and maybe I’ll get to them one day. Overall the story was nice and that ending was great 🙂
i wish it was free
This is the very book that got me into reading. I love it, I reread it all the time!
One Of My Favorite Novels In The World So Far. Highly Recommend ! Beautiful Enough To Read Over Again ; As I Usually Do Every Winter.
Beautiful setting, characters to fall in love with and wonderful descriptors of life as a pack.
I have been haunted by this book from the moment I first read it, some six or seven years ago. The mood and the atmosphere are spell-binding, and the story has such a unique take on the mythos of the wolves. Poetry – primarily by Rilke – is sprinkled liberally throughout the pages, and this only increased my fascination with and experience of the …
Poetic and magical YA love story…I want to write like that 🙂
I absolutely love this book and the entire series!
So at first I hated the title, I didn’t get why you would name a book Shiver but as soon as I started reading it and then realised why it was called Shiver I really liked it, and it made sense. But if you didn’t read the book you wouldn’t realise the significance of the title. So that was my thought about the title of the book.
The plot I love, …
This was one of my first YA reads when it came out years ago. I worked at a bookstore and it was an ARC we received to review. I fell head over heels for this story and it inspired me to read more in hopes of discovering other jewels. The entire series has stayed with me ever since. I read it multiple times during my travels abroad.
If your fan Shadow Falls series or Sky Fall series this book is for you.
ENJOY READING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actual Rating 3.80
This was an intersting book. As a fan of Maggie’s Raven Cycle series I decided to give her other books a go. Shiver is definitely interesting and I really liked the characters in this book. I didn’t love it the same way I love the Raven Cycle and I think a lot of it may be that I’m no longer a teenager. If I was a teen I think …
