Welcome to the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater

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.

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.

This is the story of a boy who used to be a wolf and a girl who is becoming one. Just a few months ago, it was Sam who was the mythical creature. His was the disease we couldn't cure. his good-bye was the one that meant the most. He had the body that was a mystery, too strange and wonderful and terrifying to comprehend.

But now it is spring. With the heat, the remaining wolves will soon be falling out of their wolf pelts and back into their human bodies. Sam stays Sam, and Cole stays Cole, and it's only me who's not firmly in my own skin.

Quote:

Former New Line toppers Michael Lynne and Bob Shaye are moving ahead on supernatural romance "Shiver," hiring Nick Pustay ("Ramona and Beezus") to adapt for their Unique Features shingle.

"Shiver," penned by Maggie Stiefvater, centers on a bittersweet romance between a teen girl and a boy who becomes a wolf each winter. As the temperature drops, the race to keep him human begins. First installment was published by Scholastic Press in August and has been on the bestseller lists for 31 weeks. Sequel "Linger," will be published in August. "At the core is this heartbreaking love story, between two people who know that their time together is slipping away," Pustay said.

Unique Features, which has a first-look deal at Warner Bros., is developing an adaptation of Paul McCartney's "High in the Clouds."; trilogies based on J.C. Hutchins' "7th Son" graphic novels and Cassandra Clare's young adult fantasy "The Mortal Instruments"; and two Broadway musicals, "Elf" and "Secondhand Lions."

I started reading this book a while ago but I never finished it. But I definitly will go back to it

**Shadowhunter** · 03-08-2010, 12:35 AM

You should.

I really enjoyed it.

froggiepopple · 03-09-2010, 01:14 PM

Please add me to the list. I loved Shiver, and I'm very excited for Linger.

**Shadowhunter** · 03-09-2010, 10:49 PM

Added you on the list, froggiepopple.

I'm excited about Linger, too. I just wonder who Cole is? I don't think that person was in Shiver.

froggiepopple · 03-10-2010, 09:26 AM

I don't remember Cole either. Do you think it could be the start of a love triangle? I sure hope not.

**Shadowhunter** · 03-10-2010, 10:14 PM

I hope not, too. I don't like triangle that much.

Do these books actually have a series name? I haven't seen 'The Wolves of Mercy Falls' anywhere else. Just curious

**Shadowhunter** · 06-13-2010, 09:47 PM

Yeah, it does. I checked on Maggie's site and she calls the series that.
