  <default_description>For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.  &lt;p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.</default_description>

Well, while I understand that the author wrote her first draft of &quot;Shiver&quot; before &quot;Twilight&quot; came out, still, the similarities are striking.

    <body><![CDATA[What does an urban-fantasy-love-story addict need more?
