Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
3.0
I picked up Shiver after greatly enjoying Stiefvater's Scorpio Races and The Raven Boys. This one did not quite capture my interest as much as the other two, but there were some intriguing elements.
The primary story here is the focus on Grace and Sam's love, even though Sam spends most of his time as a wolf, and Grace doesn't even know he is human for the first section of the book. Since I prefer plot to romance, this meant I wasn't quite as interested in the heavy portions of this.
The elements that I did find intriguing were those focused on the world building for Sam's werewolves, the back stories of the individual pack members, and how the wolf virus functions. The ending was faster paced than the rest of the story and kept me reading... and will probably have me picking up the next book.
