Books by Maggie Stiefvater
Shiver, the first book in Maggie Stiefvater’s Wolves of Mercy Falls series, haunted the New York Times’ bestseller lists for more than thirty weeks on its release in 2009. The small town of Mercy Falls is in crisis: local boy Jack Culpeper has been found dead, killed by a pack of wolves. A group of local hunters set out to deal with the problem. Across town, Grace Brisbane finds Sam Roth naked and badly injured on her front porch. Unable to explain his gunshot wound nor his miraculous healing ability, Sam reveals to Grace that he is in fact a werewolf. When romance blooms between the two, Grace finds herself pulled into a world beyond her wildest imagination. Like Twilight, the book wrestles with love across the natural-supernatural divide; Grace, like Bella, also runs the risk of transformation. Shiver was followed up with Linger and Forever; a fourth book, Sinner, is a standalone story starring a pivotal character from Shiver, Cole St. Clair.
