Ever since then she watches out for him in her backyard, where every winter he makes several appearances-almost as if he’s watching her, making sure that she’s okay…. She survived because one of those wolves saved her from the others-a white wolf with yellow eyes. Grace Brisbane is a teenage girl who, we’re told right at the opening of Shiver, was attacked by wolves when she was 11 years old. (Grace and Sam narrate alternate chapters in Shiver, and all four of them alternate in both Linger and Forever.) These characters are Grace, Sam, Isabel, and Cole. Stiefvater employs a vast cast of characters for the Shiver trilogy, but the main plot focuses mainly on four main characters and their interactions with each other and those around them. The series takes place in a fictional town called Mercy Falls, although Stiefvater has said that for those who need to know, she considers its location to be near the (real) town of Ely, Minnesota. Stiefvater has announced that a standalone fourth novel will be released later this July, and is titled Sinner. The main trilogy consists of Shiver (2009), Linger (2010), and Forever (2011). One of such series is Maggie Stiefvater’s series: The Shiver trilogy or, as it’s also called, The Wolves of Mercy Falls series.

Whether you belong to the legions who either curse or worship the Twilight series, there are various other kinds of novels in this sub-genre that are worth checking out even if you’re among those who loathe the Twilight books. The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyers was the catalyst for many to realize that such a sub-genre exists. One sub-genre of YA literature deals with teenagers who are and/or battle against mythological creatures in an otherwise modern world. Most of her novels are somewhere in the genre of fantasy, whether her characters are (or deal with) werewolves, faeries, or potentially fatal races for sport. Author Maggie Stiefvater is a famous Young Adult novelist, with three bestselling and heavily awarded series-as well as a new one to start and be released soon.
