Wolves, boys and other things that might kill me

Wolves, Boys & Other Things that Might Kill Me by Kristen Chandler

Summary:

KJ Carson lives an outdoors lover's dream. The only daughter of a fishing and wildlife guide, KJ can hold her own on the water or in the mountains near her hometown outside Yellowstone National Park. But when she meets shaggy haired, intensely appealing Virgil, KJ loses all self-possession. And she's not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that they are assigned to work together on a school newspaper article about the famous wolves of Yellowstone. As KJ spends time with Virgil, she also spends more time getting to know a part of her world that she's always taken for granted ... and she begins to see herself and her town in a whole new light.

This book explores both sides of environmental activism, how choosing sides can split communities, and how the "not in my backyard" look on issues is alive and well, and how taking a stand has lots of implications. I hope some of you are starting to look beyond your backdoor, and are curious about issues that surround us and are willing to look for books like this, which give insight into all sides.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf, her wolf, is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives - In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human... until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human or risk losing himself, and Grace forever.

Told from both Grace and Sam's point of views this paranormal romance will make you shiver with anticipation, excitement and dread as winter creeps its way into the story.
