Maggie Stiefvater

Grace is fascinated by the wolves in the woods behind her house; one yellow-eyed wolf in particular. Every winter, she watches him, but every summer, he disappears. Sam leads two lives. In winter, he stays in the frozen woods, with the protection of the pack. In summer, he has a few precious months to be human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again. When Grace and Sam finally meet, they realize they can't bear to be apart. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human - or risk losing himself, and Grace, for ever.

Moira

It seemed like you ought to pick the sort of person you would be, no matter what your parents were like.

She was past present future. I wanted to answer, but I was broken.

For once in my life, I was here and nowhere else.

Sometimes, I just wanted my silences to stay silent, full of thoughts, empty of words.

She waited to change, and I waited to change, and we both wanted what we couldn't have.
