Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

The Cold.
Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--watches back. He feels deeply familiar to her, but she doesn't know why.

The Heat.
Sam has lived two lives. As a wolf, he keeps the silent company of the girl he loves. And then, for a short time each year, he is human, never daring to talk to Grace...until now.

The Shiver.
For Grace and Sam, love has always been kept at a distance. But once its spoken, it cannot be denied. Sam must fight to stay human--and Grace must fight to keep him--even if it means talking on the scars of the past, the fragility of the present, and the impossibility of the future.


I was so happy that I got this book...at first because of all the rave reviews on YouTube. I read the first few 100 pages and it came to the point that I didn't like the book anymore.
It was slow and it was only about Grace and Sam going back and forth.
Also to tell you the truth, this book kinda freaked me out, because first, why would you be in love with a wolf, and then not think a second thought when he turns into a human being?
That was just weird for me.
Also Sams love for Grace was too unreal, how can he love her SO much if he just spent a few days with her.


Characters:
Grace: I did like her because she was Independent, about her parents I didnt like that because they did ignore her.
Sam: I really dont know what to say about Sam. :/
