Book recs

Actually, if I am doing this whole werewolf/supernatural thing, what are some werewolf book recommendations? I've read the Sookie Stackhouse books, but would love some others. Angsty or funny. Or even some good supernatural books.

Thanks!

Try joining some ebook communities like ebooklover or ebooks_crack and searching the tags. There are loads of supernatural books there, although I can't vouch for the quality of them.

Ooh! I hadn't seen those comms before. Thanks!

They're a goldmine! Do you have internet access at home, now?

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

Sadly no. I'm at my in-laws this weekend and using their computer. Grrr.

a few off the top of my head

Kelley Armstrong's Bitten (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bitten-Kelley-Armstrong/dp/1841493503/ref=sr_1_1?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1286042050&sr=8-1) series (the first few are good, though a bit angsty--I don't like the later books nearly as much)

Patricia Briggs' Moon Called (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Called-Mercy-Thompson-Patricia-Briggs/dp/1841496839/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_8) series

Those look awesome! Thank you! I think I've had the Patricia Briggs rec'd to me before, so definitely going onto my list.

I second the Bitten rec.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I second that rec too, and yes, it holds up. I'd also suggest Kitty and the Midnight Hour, by Carrie Vaughn.

Ooh, thanks!

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thanks!

Have you read Soulless? It's got werwolves and vampires and other supernaturally things, in a vaguely steampunk sort of setting

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

I ordered that last week! It's due to come in this week.

I actually really enjoy the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. Plot disappears a little bit partway through the series, turns into porn.. but pwp eh.. Last couple books seem to be coming back from that though. I do recommend them.

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

I'd wondered about those. Hmm.... I might try out the first couple. THanks!

[jeymien.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it ws the first couple that really hooked me, cause it was good mystery while including the whole vampire genre thingy. Then after book nine (obsidian butterfly, which is so totally awesome I recommend atleast reading up to that one), it kinda turned.. into the pwp thing. But like I said, the last few have been more story and less porn.

Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series has some interesting werewolves in it, although they're a small part of a larger story. Mike Carey's Felix Castor novels have an interesting take on werewolves and zombies if you ever feel up to reading them. They're more horror than fantasy, but he creates a really amazing world of ghosts, zombies, werewolves, demons, and exorcists.

Oh, I love the Dresden Files. I think I've heard of Felix Castor, so I'll definitely check 'em out. Thank you kindly!
