I could not believe that any book would have made me “miss” the heat of the Twilight Saga (and temporarily forgotten how poorly the sentences and paragraphs were constructed in those books.) There is so much telling of the love between Grace and Sam in Shiver that it felt clinical and left me quite detached and cold, fitting the title perfectly. There are moments of sparkling writing and imagery but I felt dissatisfied somehow.
