Shiver is a love story between Grace and Sam. Sam is a wolf who has watched and been watched by Grace for years from the woods behind her house. Sam is able to take on a human form for a brief time each year. As the town is hunting the wolves, Sam gets shot. He arrives at Grace's house in human form where they fall in love.
This story is told from both the point of views of Grace and Sam. Each chapter tells who is the narrator and what the temperature outside is. To me, this is a fairly stereotypical, human/ creature love story, but I think that is exactly why this book would appeal to teens. There is comfort to be found in a book that plays out the way you would expect.
