A review by veraann
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
3.0
People seemed to love or hate this book. I feel somewhere in the middle. I wasn't fond of it, but I didn't think it was terrible. Somehow it kept me reading until the end and didn't completely bore me. I even consider reading the next in the series, but not quite sure I will. The concept of her wolves was strange, but I kind of liked that. It would probably be more of a 2 star book personally for me, but I give it an extra star for keeping me interested to finish and not want to just abandon it. Also I can see where some people would love this read.
This book is heavily Romance with paranormal elements (think Twilight). Though I am reminded of the NA genre of romance in how things are set up. There are two people that fall in love and the whole book is their interaction (obsessively so). There's a little bit going on outside that, but nothing to pay attention to, really nothing else seems to happen (even when there kind of is some other stuff going on) other than their interactions. (think of things like edge of never, or thoughtless, but add paranormal characters).
If you are going to pick up this book keep in mind what you are picking up. It is not like her Raven Boys series if that's what you expect. It is more romantic YA/NA book.
