Shiver



//Summary// __**Shiver**__ **by Maggie Stiefvater** Shiver is a story about a girl named Grace Brisbane and her friend Sam. Sam is a werewolf but Grace doesn't know that until one day when he was shot by a hunter and she saw him transform into a human. She didn't know that Sam was the wolf who waited for Grace to shift into a wolf. Sam waited for Grace because she was bitten by the werewolves six years ago, but she never changed like all of the rest of the ones who were bitten. The one thing that Grace remembered about Sam as a wolf and human was his yellow eyes. Grace soon finds out that her lover, Sam, is not going to be human forever. Sam changed into a human too early this year which might mean that it will be his last. They have to work together to figure out a way to save Sam and their loving relationship. It's getting harder to keep Sam as a human. Once it is too cold outside, he shifts back into a wolf and Sam will probably get killed by hunters. Also, hunters are looking more carefully for wolves because rumors in town say that football player, Jack Culpepper was killed by wolves. The truth is that he was bitten and turned into a werewolf. This are getting out of control. Grace cannot tell her parents or friends what is happening with her life because they might try to kill the werewolves and Grace would not be able to live her life without Sam in it. //Author// Maggie Stiefvater Maggie write books.
