Shiver (Wolves of Mercy Falls) by Maggie Stiefvater

Grace, 17, loves the peace and tranquility of the woods behind her home. It is here during the cold winter months that she gets to see her wolf—the one with the yellow eyes. Grace is sure that he saved her from an attack by other wolves when she was nine. Over the ensuing years he has returned each season, watching her with those haunting eyes as if longing for something to happen. When a teen is killed by wolves, a hunting party decides to retaliate. Grace races through the woods and discovers a wounded boy shivering on her back porch. One look at his yellow eyes and she knows that this is her wolf in human form. Fate has finally brought Sam and Grace together, and as their love grows and intensifies, so does the reality of what awaits them. It is only a matter of time before the winter cold changes him back into a wolf, and this time he might stay that way forever.

This is the first book in a 3 part series. Book 2, Linger, is already out and I will be promptly picking it up on my way to work this morning. Book 3, Forever, is due out next summer....I will be pacing the floors until then.

OK, you all know how much I LOVE Twilight...well, this story is running a very close second for me. The characters seem so real and the storyline is well written. I'm kinda sad that this is a teen book, cause I am seriously HOT for the lead character Sam. The chemistry between Sam and Grace is extremely smoldering though and made me "lingering" for more...hehehe..did you catch that? The next book is called Linger...hehehe)

This is a wonderfully written love story and I can't wait to see where the author takes it for book 2.
