 So 5-6 years after Shiver came out, I finally got myself around to get a copy from the library -- good choice Vilde. I consider Shiver to be a part of the "vampire/werewolves YA wave" that came in the aftermath of the popularity/hype around the Twilight series. 
 Intrigued by the fact that Shiver seems to be one of the books that rides amongst the top book contenders of this wave -- but it has received a lot of mixed reviews and responses. I had to read it myself. The story itself wasn't that bad, I like how Stiefvater have portrayed the 'werewolf' aspect. But I feel ultimately that this book could have been condensed to an at-least-less-than-300-pages-long-book. 
 I will probably pick up the sequel, Linger, just because I want to know the entire plot story (which probably won't be revealed until the last book, Forever...).
