 3.5 stars - although dangerously close to 3. 
 Okay, I had to wait a couple of days to review this book after I read it. It's hard because I hated it at some points, and loved it at others. So I will list my complaints first: 
 1.) I remember 3 metaphorical references to wombs. Um, gross much? It was this really sweet love story but then she kept on throwing in the really dark, twisted metaphors. Like, blech! Stop ruining my flow with nasty references. 
 2.) I find it horribly disturbing that Grace was pretty much drooling over Sam in wolf form, and vice versa. Le ew. 
 3.) Their love. What exactly did Grace do to deserve/earn Sam's love, and again.. vice versa? I mean they don't know anything about one another! 
 Aside from those incredibly annoying facts, this book was good. If you can get past the first few chapters (I wanted to stab out my own eyes in the beginning of the book), you may actually like this book. 
 Maggie's writing is actually very poetic and beautiful (gross metaphors aside). She has a magical way of unraveling a story. She switches POV's throughout the book, which normally disorients me, but in this book it was an easy flow. I enjoyed it. It was a fast read for me. 
 It was sappy, but I love that personally. :) It had some drama in there, and then you get a wonderful little happy ending. I am curious about how book 2 will extend the storyline because it almost seems perfectly well finished at the end of Shiver.
