Books Like Wolves of Mercy Falls

Grace has loved the yellow-eyed wolf since he saved her life — and Sam loves her back, but winter is getting longer

Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver opens when Grace Brisbane, seventeen, finally meets the yellow-eyed wolf she has loved from her backyard for years — and discovers he is a boy named Sam Roth, who shifts between human and wolf based on temperature. He is human in summer, wolf in winter. And with every passing year, the cold claims him longer. Grace and Sam's relationship exists under a ticking clock that neither of them can stop. If the lyrical prose, the elemental and autumnal atmosphere, the bittersweet romance, and the sense of loving something that might not be able to stay gripped you, these eight picks go to the same place.
