  <body>It's like Twilight, but written much better.  Grace is a stronger female character.</body>

    <body><![CDATA[He is a guy who is a little different.  She is a high school girl whose parents never pay attention to her.  They meet, they fall in love, and...  No, this isn't Twilight.  While it may share many of the same elements, Shiver is actually a better story, IMHO.  <br/><br/>Grace still has silly moments like any teenager, but she is a much stronger female character.  She knows how to take care of herself, and she isn't afraid to run into danger when she needs to.<br/><br/>The take on the werewolf mythology was rather unique.  I hadn't come across it before so it was a nice change of pace.  And the plot was woven very intricately throughout the book.<br/><br/>All in all, while some moments moved slowly, I enjoyed it.  But the ending makes me wonder, how will she write a sequel?]]></body>
