Summer Reads - Blog Posts

As much as I LOVE TRC, this series might be my favorite. And normally I hate spinoffs, but Sinner was probably my favorite of the set. Cole St. Clair is one of my favorite characters ever. He reminds me so much of the person I love. 

Anyway, if you love werewolves but hate cliches and want to escape the twilight apocalypse of ruined monster fiction...this is for you.

The Shiver series Maggie Stiefvater 9/10

This series is about werewolves, which sounds pretty lame, but these werewolves change from human to wolf depending on the temperature, in winter they’re wolves and in summer they’re human. This series was actually recommended to me by my girlfriend and I really really enjoyed it. There are some really cool plot lines and all of the genetics that you find out about to do with the wolves are really cool. I definitely recommend this series to anyone into fantasy.

I gave the series a 9/10 because it is one of the best fantasy series’ I’ve read. It was interesting and had new catches in probably every chapter.

Favourite quote: “You’re like a song I heard when I was a little kid, but forgot I knew until I heard it again.”
