I must be getting old. 
 No longer can I read YA paranormal (faeries are included in the paranormal genre yes?) love stories and feel that they aren't, well, to put it bluntly...stupid. I know that they're not real, clearly, but if they're well written shouldn't they be believable? 
 I quite enjoyed Stiefvater's other series The Wolves Of Mercy Falls but there was something about this book that just didn't live up to the same standard. My interest did increase somewhat as the story progressed, and while Dee is a much stronger female lead than is often found (for example, Bella of that series), there was just a few things I couldn't reconcile. Like, come on, Luke is an assassin! And yet after she had a day to think about it, she realised she was quite happy to be alone with him, she couldn't help it! Sometimes I wonder about what is defined as 'love' in paranormal stories, especially after the 'love' has arisen after only a couple of days. And of course its always that infatuated kind of love that they say is 'true love'. 
 But, I digress. It's a quick, easy read, but if you're looking for a book as good as Shiver, look elsewhere.
