Hey there guys, now when I read these books it took me a while but not as long as books usually take me because sadly and annoyingly I'm a very slow reader, but these books captured my attention enough for me to read them rather fast, and because I enjoyed them so much I was dieing to review them so other people can go check them out and give them a little read because seriously they are absolutely amazing. So lets get to it....
In the picture above are the three books in order, starting with Shiver. I'm going to give you a brief outline of what they're about because I think it's best to start there. So the books are about a pack of wolves living in Minnesota. The leader Beck owns a house on the edge of the woods, this is because the wolves turn into their human forms during the summer and then turn into their wolf forms during the winter. There's a girl named Grace who also lives on the edge of the woods and is often left to her own devices as her parents are busy and don't pay her much attention. In the first book,Shiver, the reader is met with Grace being attacked by the wolves.
Throughout the book it flicks between Grace and Sam's point of view. Sam is one of the wolves and as the books develop we find that he was taken in by Beck when he was younger. I don't want to give too much away in case you decide to read them so I'm missing bits out and giving an overall thought on the series.
The books have many shocking moment that leave you craving more which is one of the ways Maggie creates the characters lives and story lines they lead. As it was a while ago since I read them I can't quite remember what happened in each book but I remember what happens throughout the series. The reader eventually find out that the wolves that attacked Grace were from the same pack that Sam was from and that he saved her from them. Sam has this power that none of the others can do, he can make himself turn human. Another fact that Maggie reveals is that when they reach a certain age they stay in their wolf from till they die, Beck who Sam looks up to as a father figure has reached that age and is now I wolf, we learn how much he impacts on Sam and the rest of the pack. The way Maggie Stiefvater has written the books you literally don't want to put them down, they entice you and you become apart of the word and characters within. She bring emotion with her writing which is important to this type of story line as there is a love story within.I strongly recommend these books and they cost £7.99 for each one, I got mine from Waterstones but you can buy them online. I know I haven't gone into much detail but I didn't want to spoil it for those who decide to read them. Thanks for reading x
