Lovereading comment:
Shiver is a haunting, breathtaking and original supernatural
love story that will have you hooked from the very first page. Told
with two narrative voices, we follow the inner thoughts and feelings of
both Grace and Sam throughout their extraordinary romance, right to the
chilling twist. Sam lives two lives; for a few precious months in the
summer he is human whilst in the winter his home is the frozen woods.
For Grace she is fascinated by the wolf pack and by one yellow-eyed
wolf in particular, until that is she meets a yellow-eyed boy who is
somehow very familiar. The quality of the writing makes this a novel
that will stand out in the crowd.
The author’s literary influences for Shiver were Crow Lake and The Time Traveller’s Wife ‘because they tell quiet, bittersweet love stories.’
