Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Emily's Comments: As a child, Grace was bitten and almost killed by a pack of wolves that lived in the woods behind her home. She only survived because of the golden eyed wolf that got her to safety. In the years following the incident, Grace became fascinated with the wolves, especially her golden eyed savior that only appeared in the winter months, a comfort on those long, frigid days. Then the community begins to blame the wolves for recent attacks and the safety of her silent friend is in jeopardy. Everything changes when she learns that the wolf she slowly fell in love with is actually a werewolf, Sam, who has fallen deeply in love with her as well. With time short until Sam can no longer hold back his animal instincts, Grace will do everything in her power to save her love from becoming a wolf for good.

Fans of Twilight, especially Jacob Black, will enjoy this supernatural star-crossed love story. While the story feels familiar; the writing makes the book stand apart from other novels on vampires and werewolves available for teens today (check status at GPL).
