Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1)

by Maggie Stiefvater

I've never read Twilight. It was more of curiosity that pulled me to this book and the good reviews I keep hearing about it. No, it wasn't the werewolf craze at all.

I'm glad that all the lingering questions in my head were answered. The obvious ones about the weather and various loose ends. I really thought that the most obvious plothole would go unanswered after reading more than half of the book, but thank goodness Stiefvater did not disappoint!

Good endings are rare. Sometimes they're completely drawn out and overdone, and sometimes there are just no words to explain how it just wasn't right. To me, endings give the lasting impression to a book and it's important how it ends. Shiver ended so beautifully. It left me hanging for more, but at the same time left me satisfied as a reader.

I honestly thought I'd never like a werewolf book (over my dead body!), but I was so wrong. I cannot wait for more.
