I have a fondness for Young Adult novels. Shiver is the first book in a series set in Mercy Falls that is written by Maggie Stiefvater. There are three books in the series, Shiver, Linger and Forever. The first two books are out and third will be released July 12, 2011.
I will confess that after I read Linger, I called my daughter, with tears in my eyes (who promptly laughed at me), to commiserate about the characters and the drama that had unfolded. This is definitely a series you will want to pick up. You might want to wait until the third one is out to spare yourself any tears.
Below is an exert from Shiver:
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.
