We're still battling it out with the Vampire vs. Werewolf Hop, hosted by FMB Blog Tours.
I'm on Team Werewolf, but I definitely don't begrudge a vampire hero...fangs and pale skin can get me going. Still, I've donated a copy of my own ALPHA MOUNTIE to the giveaway pot to throw my vote in for the wolves.
Interested in winning? Leave a comment letting me know whether you're playing for the vamps or the wolves...
To help you decide, I'm blogging about a few of my favourite werewolf novels:
Bitten by Kelley Armstrong
Elena, the world's first female werewolf, is strong, vulnerable, sexy, and amazing. Yeah, I kinda want to be her.
Kelley herself is a fantastic woman -- I've met her quite a few times, and she's always gracious, down-to-Earth, and absolutely hilarious.
Kitty and the Midnight Hour by Carrie Vaughn
A werewolf named Kitty, host of her own radio show about the paranormal.
The concept was too funny, I had to pick it up -- and then Vaughn shocked me with some seriously nail-biting action. As the series goes on, it just gets better and better.
Kitty has evolved like no other character in paranormal romance, and I love reading her stories.
Benighted by Kit WhitfieldLiterary noire detective werewolf fiction with bite would describe this. Very different from your usual genre fare, and absolutely brilliant.
Whitfield imagines a world in which the majority of the population are werewolves...how do the humans deal?
Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis KlauseOne of those writers I wish published more books! Klause is amazing. It's YA fiction, but very clever, about a werewolf girl living in suburbia who falls in love with a meat-boy (a human).
Actually, to jump to the other side for a minute -- The Silver Kiss is one of my favourite vampire novels of all time. So if you love vamps, check out Klause that way.
Cry Wolf by Patricia BriggsI love Briggs' Mercy Thompson series (Mercy is a scrappy, awesome coyote shifter heroine) but I also adore her Alpha and Omega books.
Anna is an omega wolf -- what's normally seen as the bottom of the pack, but her lover, alpha wolf Charles recognizes her own particular strength.
A very cool look at an undervalued part of the werewolf pack structure.
Sorry Lena, but I'm playing for the vamps. I also enjoy the wolves and would love to win a copy of your book. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely playing for the wolves. Thanks for the chance.

Cbarton - Yep, we're supposed to get the deep freeze this weekend here in Ontario, so I'd definitely prefer a wolf to warm me up.
ReplyDeleteKimberly - Glad to see another fan of Patricia Briggs! Love her.
Ashley - Eric Northman is fantastic, isn't he? I've been watching True Blood but have somehow never read the Sookie Stackhouse books...gotta add them to my TBR for sure.
I like werewolves.

Bn100 and Ellen, great to have two more for Team Wolf!
ReplyDeleteAmber, so glad to meet another Blood and Chocolate fan. One of those books not enough people have read.
Emily, glad to have another werewolf fan & werecoyote fan joining.
I'm currently team werewolf at the moment, I've really enjoyed reading them lately. Thank you for the giveaway!

Kimberly & Sherry, great to have two more members for Team Wolf :-)
ReplyDeleteI am torn between the two!! I have two fav paranormal series and they are one of each. Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson series and Alpha & Omega series. So awesome and kick a$$. But then on the other hand I adore Molly Harper's Jane Jameson series. Laugh out loud funny!! I am going to be greedy and say I am on both teams!

I've never read Molly Harper, just looked her up and they sound awesome...I've added Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs to my TBR (gotta love Goodreads). Thanks for the recommendation, April!
