Shiver

1) Maggie Stiefvater is the author of this book. Maggie writes alot of books. Most on mystical creatures like faeries,ware wolfs and stuff like that.

2) The main characters of Linger is Grace, and Sam. Grace is more of dramatic character. Sam is more of a static character.

3) The novels setting is a small town on the edge of the woods. In my opinion is that she choose a great setting for this book because it suits the whole story and its more likely for them to find wolves there.

4) Some of the main events of the book is when Grace  was getting eaten by wolves and survived.When Sam(ware wolf) got to meet Grace (he was in wolf form). When the hunters went after the wolves. the climax right now is the part that I'm at right now. Sam is trying to stay human and Grace and Sam are kind of dating.

5) The scenes that I remember most. One of them is when the hunters went after the werewolves and Sam got shoot and ended up on Graces back porch. The other one is when  Sam and Grace kiss for the first time.
