Shiver Linger packOgetherLingerCan Grace and Sam last Each will have to fight to stay together whether it means a reckoning with his werewolf past for Sam or for Grace facing a future that is less and less certain Enter Cole a new wolf who is wrestling with his own demons embracing the life of a wolf while denying the ties of being human For Grace Sam and Cole life is harrowing and euphoric enticing and a I really really like the way Stiefvater writes For some reason I read Shiver a few years ago then didn't follow through on the rest of the series But I just finished the whole trilogy on audiobook and it really is very goodStiefvater does certain things very differently from other YA authors I am absolutely fascinated by the way she wrote Grace's parents a couple who usually treat their daughter like a roommate They are frustrating and familiar not my parents but other parents and uite different from the two sorts of parents you typically see in these books passive or absentdead Her parents are still there they're just cheerfully negligent and really haven't thought of how that affected their daughter Good interesting characterizationsI also like that this is a small story not a world changing revolution It's all contained within a small town in Minnesota and it's incredibly important for the people in the town but not beyond Well doneLastly Stiefvater writes love scenes that are genuinely YA appropriate but not in a neutered way Some YA authors deal with age appropriateness by cutting away when things start to get too sexy or they write the scene but it's very obvious they're carefully censoring the scene Stiefvater manages to bridge the gap by not writing so much about sex but about sensation and emotion In too many books a character is suffused with lust after catching a glimpse of washboard abs or the skin between a shirt and jeans or a low cut top But Sam and Grace are set off by very different things and not in that cheesy I imagined her in a wedding dress and was overcome with lust trope that authors sometimes wedge into male teen characters For instance at one point Grace kind of fists the material at the front of Sam's t shirt It's not a sexy move she's not trying to be sultry she's just cuddling with him but it mentally sends him to a very hormonal place When they talk about sensations there's a lot of stuff like pressure of a hand on a back or gathered hems or scent I guess what I'm saying here is that she pretty perfectly captures that incredibly heady teenage love sensation when something as small as a hand at the nape of your neck sets you on fire It manages to remain objectively tasteful while genuinely providing emotionThe one drawback of the audiobook for me was that when we got to four narrators the accents and cadences got all messed up Grace is performed by the same narrator throughout three books but the other cast changed Sam in every version I think So Isobel is performed by Grace as a Californian Valley Girl but then Isobel herself sounds kind of goth Ulrich loses his prominently featured german accent completely across all four narrators I really enjoyed the performances that was just strangeAnd then personal preference I cannot stand singing in audiobooks I can't I hate characters who write songs in their heads and then warble I literally start going LALALALA to drown it out No this is not rational nor sensible but it's a knee jerk reaction and if you have anything like the same uirk be aware that there is singing in this book And they DO sing not speak sing like in other audiobooks I'm weird I know
