Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Shiver was an AMAZING book! It was absolutly beautiful, inside and out! Firstly, the cover is absolutly lovely! It captured the feeling of the book perfectly, and its just so beautiful. I want to hang it on my wall. The dull, light blue, against the white, with the bright splash of red in the center is so eye catching and captures the books...starkness? Contrast? Rawness? I can't find the right word, I don't think either of those are quite right.

As for the book within the covers, once I got used to the pace and the POV switches I couldn't put it down. The writing, plot, characters, and mood were wonderful and I am running out of adjectives to describe it. The book make my smile, and cry, and being a hopeless romantic completley tugged at my heart strings. I didn't find it to be just a simple romance either, there was more to it than that. I am terrible at reveiwing books I like - I end up gushing. So I shant call this a review. This is me, gushing. I loved this book. I loved the cover, the blue ink, the fact that I felt chilly throughout, and how it made me feel after I was done reading. It was quite the read. :)

I also have to comment on the playlist the author posted on her blog that she used to right the book, I think the music fits it perfectly. I am going to be downloading these songs. :)
