Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Grace has always had a thing for the wolves in the woods behind her house, and when she finally meets the human form of a particularly enchanting wolf, Sam, the two cling to each other with the force of destiny. Time is running out, though, as these lycanthropes don’t change with full moons but rather each year spend less time as humans and more as wolves, until the balance completely tips them into the animal world. The two will then do whatever it takes to stay together.

I absolutely loved this book!! At first, when the author was explaining Grace's attack I was very confused(of course it happened on the first page). But as the author went deeper into Grace's fascination with the wolves and the wolve with the yellow eyes(her favorite and the one that saved her when she was attacked) you understand herand Sam alot better. I was very amazed at how well Grace was able to handle seeing Sam bleeding on her back porch, especially since it was the first time she saw him in his human form. I love how Sam is determined to spend as much time as he can with Grace. But from the car crash on its a real tear jerker. Until the very last two pages thats when your mood will change completely and a big smile will appear on your face.
