Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

A young girl notices wolfs on the back of her parent's property in Minnesota and becomes involved with one of them, who turns out to be a werewolf. She develops a relationship with him, and they experience difficulties with a recently added member of the pack & his human sister. I found the story easy to get involved in, even after being disappointed by the fact that it was yet-another-werewolf story. Character development is very good. I found myself caring about them--all of them.

Merit: Easy to read. Sympathetic characters.
Share: Good for a YA reading group.
Appeal: Coming-of-age. Emerging Vampire/Werewolf genre.
