It's not strictly werewolves, but there was a thread in which I talk about crappy urban fantasy books (http://www.werewolf.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1001).

Try Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlow. It's written in free verse and is quite good in my opinion. There is violence in it, so if that bothers you, stay away from it. Kelly Armstrong has a few werewolf books. The sequel to Bitten is Stolen, which was pretty good, and the third book is Broken, which was so-so.

Three books, actually. Stolen (2004), Broken (2006), and Frostbitten (2009). I am a fan of all four of these books, but I do have to agree with Tempest that Broken is "so-so," but only just. However, with that said, Frostbitten does not go even lower on the scale of appeal as being the third sequal to the Elena Michaels story. I would put it up on the level of appeal with Bitten, as I quite enjoyed it.

You can try Ebon Moon. It's a new werewolf novel of horror set in modern day small town Oklahoma. It just came out on Amazon and Barnes and Noble and won Editor's Choice from the publisher. It's a tale of an abused wife who flees her psycho husband along with her five-year old daughter. They hide in a small Oklahoma town, but little does she know, a pack of werewolves are secretly killing people in the area. The Pack targets her daughter to be devoured during an upcoming eclipse of the moon. If you're tired of paranormal romance and want to read an intense horror novel with werewolves reminiscent of the Howling this book is it.

Wait, did you just respond to a post I made, like 9 months later? Admittedly, this response is like 2 months late as well. But c'mon...

On topic:
I can't believe no-one's mentioned Fool Moon yet. Even though it's one of the weakest Dresden files books, it's probably miles better than Armstrong and Framingham at their best. But werewolf characters who make their initial appearance appear in a lot of the later books in the series (that are much, much better.)

Of course! I am notoriously flaky, and a 9 month waiting period for a response from me is pretty typical :D

The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan. I recently finished reading this one, and it was pretty darn good! I had a hard time putting it down to go to work :love: But I did finish it, and it was a bit different than other werewolf books I have read, and I really enjoyed the fresh take on the subject. It's unfortunate how things turn out for Jake's wife after he turns...poor thing.

I know one, but its more of a comedy. " The werewolf's guide to life". Also try the book series called "shiver"

Not exactly a werewolf book but "The Sight" (http://www.amazon.com/Sight-David-Clement-Davies/dp/0142408743/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314306141&sr=1-1) by David Clement is a story about a pack of wolves with some of them having special abilities. It's definitely worth a read if you've never read it yet.

If you like books that talk about werewolf mythology in movies, worldwide legends, you might like "The Werewolf Book - The Encyclopedia of Shapeshifting Beings" (http://www.amazon.com/Werewolf-Book-Encyclopedia-Shape-Shifting-Beings/dp/1578593670/ref=sr_1_21?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314305946&sr=1-21) by Brad Steiger. He recently came out with a new edition this year and it's pretty cheap on Amazon.

My favorite werewolf books have to be:

Wolfen by Whitley Streiber (http://www.amazon.com/Wolfen-Whitley-Strieber/dp/0380704404/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1323423265&sr=8-5)

The Wolf's Hour by Robert McCammon (http://www.amazon.com/Wolfs-Hour-Michael-Gallatin-ebook/dp/B005T54I6I/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1323423365&sr=1-1)

Cycle of the werewolf by Stephen King (http://www.amazon.com/Cycle-Werewolf-Signet-Stephen-King/dp/0451822196/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1323423426&sr=1-1)

And I know this is REALLY off the topic, but I recommend The Child Thief by Brom. I was sucked into this book, and I LOVED the new take on the Peter Pan story, mixed with faeries and Avalon.

I actually wrote several articles for this book, as well as included a plug to Werewolf.com! :rockon:

It depends a lot on what you like. There are so many different types of were books, from the silly to the gory and everything in between, as well as a few that are way out there in left field.

There's a pretty good one called "The Forsaken Boy" by Troy Tradup that I found on Amazon. It's really good, but I have to warn you that it's also extremely bloody and graphic sometimes.

I cannot find it on Amazon, believe it or not, but a book by Jerry & Sharon Ahern called WerewolveSS. As the name implies, it involves Nazi werewolves, and goes into a lot of technical details about transformations, the implausibility of silver bullets, and suchlike. A kickarse read!

For historical accounts of werewolves through literature and history, including human aberrations and aconite and LSD delusions, I would recommend Lycanthropy Reader by Charlotte F Otten. This is your classic folklore and philosophical treatise on werewolves and lycanthropy.

An earlier book (1865) in this vein is The Book Of Werewolves by Sabine Baring-Gould. It sets a precedent for diagnosing werewolves as a mental disorder.

More recently is Metamorphoses Of The Werewolf by Leslie A Sconduto. This book traces the mythology of the werewolf through literature and in accounts of medieval court cases such as the Jean Grenier case; again the basis being that it was a mental disorder or the werewolf becoming a metaphorical tool of the church. Given the time periods, there were more literate people and scribes within the church governing body so its no wonder that the literary sources would be found there.

There is a new series of Irish werewolf books coming out on Book Country, Amazon, Book Nook and a variety of other sites. The first book is called Wolf of the Fey by Caith Conri. I had a chance to read it and loved it.

okay werewolf books well that a broad subject. Here are werewolf books of the top of my head at the moment:
Shiver, Linger, and Forever by Maggie Stiefvater
The Twilight series by Stphenie Meyer (do not recommend)
City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass and City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare (not just about werewolves but other mythical creatures)
Nightshade series by Andrea Cremer
i highly recommend Firelight by Sophie Jorden (its not about werewolves but it is an amazing book. if you like shifter books, you will love this!)
