Werewolf Novel Reccomendations

[(Anonymous)]

I'm looking for books that focus on werewolves that aren't horror, romance/erotica (romance is fine as a sub-plot, just not as a central focus), and don't have misogynistic pack structures. So, something focused more on world building and characters.

The closest I've gotten to what I am looking for is Patrica Briggs's stuff, but while it has gotten better in recent years, her works are pretty misogynistic.

I haven't read them, but I recently heard about Catherine Lundoff? has werewolf books whose MC is a menopausal woman.

Cozy Werewolf Anon senses perking up!

Um, hi, I'm Ginny O. I write cozy werewolf dramas with found family, slice of life, and slow burn romance. (And I mean SLOW, slow, burn romance.) Based on werewolf folklore and MODERN wolf science. Um, I wrote these books in response to Patricia Briggs and most urban fantasy/paranormal romance werewolves I've read. You can find them on Amazon through this handy link:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075V8MH19

Short summary: One hot summer, Gideon Vonrothe, ex-military and unsuspecting sucker, is looking for a new pack. What he finds is the Heaven's Heathens Motorcycle Club and private security agency. The Club is the pack and the pack is a family with siblings that squabble. Assigned to the tutelage of the pack leader's granddaughter, Savannah Barker, as the temperatures climb so does the intensity of the security agency jobs and the heat of their nascent relationship. Is this a new beginning or the beginning of the end for the Heaven's Heathens?

Enjoy? and Bless!

As a former dog trainer, you had me at modern wolf science. This looks like what I am looking for. Plus it will be cool to read something by a fellow FS anon! :) I'll be reading this soon.

Whee!

The lack of modern wolf science use in werewolf books just... bugs me a lot. (I have a rant, it involves Universal, WoD, and studying wolves in zoos.) Bad wolf science promotes really toxic relationships and um, yeah. I have seen so many requests to see HEALTHY relationships in books.

Trad publishing just isn't there at all. They have their nice little box for werewolves and I don't fit in it. (B/C I refuse to fit in it.) And the motorcycle books are just as bad in Trad. (I have read back covers and went... whelp, your male character is dead now. Is this a beyond the grave book?)

Anyways, if you give it a try, I hope you enjoy it. And Thanks for considering it!

Hmmm... I love a good werewolf novel myself, but I'm not into the whole alpha romance thing.

I'm sorry to say that I haven't found too many good ones. I want plotty, interesting books with a werewolf as a main character. Maybe someone else will have something for both of us :)

The Pax Arcana series by Elliot James has a main character who's a werewolf, though it's not a huge focus of the books beyond his struggle with it (the second book focuses on his learning to be a werewolf, basically). I remember enjoying them, even though they are trashy, but the POV main character is not quite as terrible a manchild as Dresden from the Dresden Files. There's a main side romance, but it's also not overwhelming.

I'll add this to my list too. Seems interesting!

I hope we both find more plotty, interesting werewolf books! They have to be out there somewhere. :)
