Shiver by Maggie Steifvater Review
Wow, WOw, WOW!!!!
I can NOT believe that it has taken me this long to read Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver! Honestly, can't believe I have waited THIS LONG!!!
From Goodreads:
Absolutely loved it! I believe partially because in a few ways the love story reminded me a bit of Twilight. The overall darkness feel of the story and some of the characteristics of the characters. It doesn't have vampires in it though! Just werewolves!! Super hot werewolves!! I blew through this book, devouring every single page! I laughed, I cried at one point, and my heart felt for these characters...which only happens to me when I'm reading a book that I truly love!
HIGHLY recommend this one!
It's definitely going onto my Favorites list!

From Goodreads:
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 Thoughts:
Wow, just Wow! I can't even tell you how much I loved this book! Everything about this book! I loved the characters, the story, the writing (oh the writing! So gorgeous!)! EVERYTHING! I'm not even kidding!
This is my kind of book!
This!
Shiver is such a great beginning to a series, that I am so unbelievably excited to read books 2 and 3! In fact, I wish so much I could pick them up right NOW, but unfortunately I can't!! It sucks!
Anyway, overall rating:
Do I even have to say?...
HIGHLY recommend this one!
It's definitely going onto my Favorites list!

I KNOW RIGHT?! I recently just finished reading Shiver on the side, so now I'm writing the review for it, but I've started on Linger! Ugh, I can't possibly express my feelings on the book. Writing a review is going to be so hard for me :(

I loved it so much! I added it to my list of all time favorites! :)
DeleteI only read the second book, which was in my library. I thought it a bit slow going. But I thought it interesting that when you're a wolf you're just a wolf and that eventually you stay that way and live only a wolf's lifetime.
ReplyDeleteI Loved Loved Loved Shiver! I actually cried at the end! It was so perfect!! I never read book 2 and 3, and I don't think I ever will. I thought Shiver ended perfectly, maybe a few questions were left unanswered but it was perfect. My friends didn't like the rest of the series and how things ended, so I just refuse to keep reading, it's one of my favorite books ever and I don't want to risk liking it any less by how the series ends.
ReplyDeleteIf you do decide to read them I hope you enjoy them a lot :)
Oh no! The books didn't end good??!! That's horrible! I'm definitely looking forward to reading them though! I've got 2 and 3 sitting on my shelf, so I'll get to them very soon! :)
DeleteI hope I like them too! I'm a little worried now haha
