Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

This one is for all you Twilight fans out there! Grace lives in Minnesota and had a close encounter with wolves when she was little. Now, as a teenager, they always watch her from the woods around her house, especially one wolf with golden eyes. When a teenage boy is attacked by wolves, the locals arrange a hunt, and Grace tries to stop the massacre. But one naked boy needs help after he is shot. And that naked boy is Sam, a werewolf.

Ooooo....werewolves..... But the romance in this novel is darn well written. Grace and Sam love each other, but are trying to figure out why Grace doesn't change after she was bitten, and why Sam is possibly not going to change from being a wolf again. As they try to figure out the werewolf stuff, they fall deeper in love and try to figure out a way they can stay together.

Look for the sequel Linger this summer, although I have an advanced reader's copy my students can borrow. I'm reading it now!
