Shiver
So I read Shiver for my SSR this week and I see the theme of decision vs fate because even though Sam his been transformed into a werewolf for years and soon he will turn into a wolf forever he tries his hardest to stay human for Grace, the love of his life. His transformation occurs when he gets cold so he struggles all fall to stay in his human form and Grace does her best to help him, sadly they get in a car accident when it snows and he is forced to change. Even though its Sam's fate to eventually be a wolf forever he fights the change every year to spend more time with Grace and try to make a life with her. Eventually Sam and a few of Grace's friends try to prevent the change by injecting themselves with meningitis. It kills one of them but Sam survived, effectively preventing the change from taking him from Grace ever again. Now for the tragic part, Grace had been bitten when she was younger but he dad left her in a hot car so she never changed. So instead of her turning into a wolf forever she starts to die. Sam figures this out and decides to try biting her again. It works and Grace changes but now she will eventually become a wolf forever leaving Sam.

Unforgiven

The theme of love is a constant theme by this author which is why I've read so many of her works. In this installment of her series Cam, one of the seven fallen angels she writes about, has descended into Hell to save his one true love from her own personal version of it. He only has 14 days to win her over while her soul is still angry with him for hurting her hundreds of years before. If he doesn't convince her to fall for him again then he belongs to Lucifer forever as his right hand.
