I resisted the genre for a long time. I like wolves but I'm not a fan of gore and I've seen too many depictions of ferocious werewolves to think that I'd like reading about them. How wrong I was! The werewolf stories below place the emphasis on family, personal growth, and character development.
The San Andreas Shifters series by G.L. Carriger. Bonus points for including otter, bear, and other types of shifters. Spicy tales filled with love, humor, and positive vibes!
The Green Creek series by T.J. Klune. The characters are so wonderful, I willingly suffered through the nerve-wracking bits with them. Mixed in with the angst are plenty of scenes to make you smile and laugh.
Angua von Überwald, a werewolf in Discworld. She gets high marks for remaking my notions about werewolves. My favorite fanfic featuring her is Penna's Dragon's Egg Blue.
Late, an original story in Penna's collection Wattpad Contest Plot Bunnies provides an imaginative refreshing twist to the genre. This is a story begging to be turned into a series, hint, hint.
