Booknerds are pretty too: Shiver Review:

Reason to Breathe Review

In this book we are introduced to Emma (Emily) Thomas, her life seems perfectly normal from the outside, she is a straight A student at Weslyn High, editor for the school newspaper, soccer and basketball player but what happens when she arrives home is something she is not willing to admit, not even to herself.[...]

Fracture Review

Author Megan Miranda launches her debut novel with the absorbing story of Delaney Maxwell, it should be just another day in her life but instead turns out to be the day she died, for eleven minutes she was under freezing water, for 11 minutes she was considered death. That should have been the end of her story, but life gave her a second chance and now her world will never be normal again.[...]

Shiver (The wolves of Mercy Falls #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

This book tells the story in a diary style through the two main characters, Sam and Grace, each chapter from alternating points of view. It’s a little difficult to describe what I felt as I read through the pages, I felt love for the characters, sadness of certain situations and happiness in other moments too.

When Grace, being a young child, was attacked by some wolves, she could have never imagined that even now, being a teenager, she will continue to be attached to those yellow eyes that looked right into her soul the very same night she was attacked. Sam, on the other side, is living two lives, one of them watching Grace hidden in the shadows of the winter forest.

The need both characters had for each other was touching, the chemistry between Grace and Sam is awesome, the perfect dose of love.

Maggie Stiefvater has a beautiful way to describe the places and emotions thru the entire book, overall I enjoyed this book and found my self immersed in a magic story. Can’t wait to read the next book.

★★★★
