Has anyone read Shiver by Maggie Steifvater?
Would you reccomend it?
I cant work out if it's written for adults or teens?

My 14 yr old has read both Shiver and Linger by maggie Stievfater they seem to come under the young adult section similar to the twilight books did. So they would be suitable for both adult and children. My daughter loves this particular genre and i also enjoy reading it so
i have read quite a few of the YA category of books lately as well as some of the general adult age titles. As for would we recommend my 14 yr old says a very loud YES!Grin
I think a lot of the authors are trying to appeal to a wider audience by appealing to both teenage/young adult and adults alike.

Jeanz thanks I think I'll give it a go then.Smile
I agree the line between YA and Adult novels is fairly blured now which I'm all for a good book is a good book regardless of the intended audience by the publisher.

I haven't read it but believe it's really good as is the follow up Linger.
