A new series about werewolves by Maggie Stifvater


ShiverLinger

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, book 2, Linger, to be released July 1, 2010.

Enjoy the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer? Or not.  Either way, this love story by Maggie Steifvater will work its way into your heart and give you goosebumps. 
     Grace was attacked by wolves when she was a little girl, dragged into the woods, and bitten over and over.  But why did she survive and why does she still love the wolves who roam the woods behind her house, especially the gray one with the yellow eyes?  Maybe Grace is a bit strange, maybe she shouldn't try to protect the wolves when a local teen is attacked and murdered by them, but Grace still stands by the wolves and swears their innocence.  When a badly injured boy with yellow eyes is found on her back porch the afternoon the townfolk have gone after the wolves, Grace's life changes forever.  She falls in love with the boy, or maybe she's loved him all along...

The smart, witty, and kind of frumpy Emerson becomes part of a mysterious plot when a enormous plasma flat screen TV falls on her and she is declared brain dead.  This is just the beginning of Emerson's new life as the famous supermodel Nikki Reed, into whose body her perfectly good brain has just been transplanted.  Not only can Em not tell her best friend (and love of her life) that it's really her inside Nikki's body, but she has to pretend to be Nikki with all the good and bad that entails. Em/Nikki uncovers some dangerous details as she lives Nikki's life, makes some new friends, and learns to even like modeling.  Enjoy the fun, excitment, and frustration as Em discovers how to be Nikki.
