by Maggie Stiefvater (Goodreads Author)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.

This book felt like a song to me. There was music, art, reading, love, struggle, and it all tied together into a perfectly balanced song. I thoroughly enjoyed this whole series. The author is clearly extremely well-read and passes that passion to literary exploration to the reader. The characters, aside from the supernatural difficulties, actually have a very healthy teen relationship. Something I value and do not get to see too often. This series made me dread the winter just a little bit less.
