Shiver

Grace Brisbane was a child in Mercy Falls, Minnesota, when a pack of wolves attacked her. A wolf with yellow eyes drove the others off and saved her life. Every winter since, she has watched him from the woods behind her house, certain that he watches her too.

Then a boy with the same yellow eyes appears in her life. Sam Roth turns into a wolf whenever the temperature drops, and each winter could be the one when he stays a wolf for good.

Grace and Sam take turns narrating, so the reader follows the same cold season from both sides. They try to keep hold of each other as the weather closes in and the time they have together shortens.

Fear of the pack spreads through the town, and hunters begin to treat the wolves as quarry. That puts Sam and the animals he runs with in direct danger.

The book opens The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. A young adult romance with a paranormal edge, it moves quietly and atmospherically, with a tense, melancholy mood set against a hard winter.
