Ok, so this topic is to name your favorite werewolf book and why and same for your least favorite.
My favorite werewolf book so far has been Bad Moonlight by R.L. Stine because,well I liked the idea of a pack leader trying to turn a human unawaringly into a werewolf to be his bride. I just thought it was a very good idea! haha.

And This may be suprising but I hate Blood and Chocolate the book because well I just thought the morals were stupid. Like, I just liked the movie better because in my opinion it had better morals and a much more unique ending. I think it was more realistic so to say,because well,it kinda shows how everyone longs for a life outside their family. The book was just to I don't know,morbid and terribly ended? I just don't like Vivian and Gabriel together,I guess as well and also it reminds me alot of a Balto 2 concept. Trying to figure out who she is and who she'd rather be. It makes me think of Aleu! T___T
So YAH thats why I hated the book.

I have to pick the Kitty Norville werewolf series as my favorite. It's a series of four released books (Kitty and the Midnight Hour, Kitty Goes to Washington, Kitty Takes a Holiday, and Kitty and the Silver Bullet) plus two upcoming for release in February 2009 and March 2009.
The series starts off with late-night radio DJ Kitty Norville becoming tired of boring music requests and the accidental starting of The Midnight Hour, a call-in talk show for the "supernaturally disadvantaged." With her show being a success it isn't long before a vampire clan and Kitty's pack start causing problems for Kitty.

While I've read Blood ans Chocolate as well, I like it. I guess its because Blood and Chocolate was my first werewolf novel I ever read...

And while I have yet to find a novel I dislike, I put Kitty over Vivian.

Blood and Chocolate goes for my favorite an least favorite because (1) I haven't read any other books on werewolves except The Werewolf Chronicle which was stupid and childish, and (2) I loved how the author described the change and how Vivian was split between pack and love, but the actual story needed a bit of work. I agree that the movie was sooooo much better and the ending was perfect. I hated the end of the book. Vivian and Gabriel? Yuck! Vivian and Aiden? Yes!!!!!!

But I have say Blood and Chocolate was good enough to get me into reading werewolf books and actually start writing two of my own called Heart of a Wolf and Curse of the Moonlight.

Meeh....I didn't really like Blood and Chocolate, but I suppose that's a fault on my part. Annette Curtis Klause has a knack for appealing mostly to females in her books, and some of the thoughts and actions portrayed in the book kinda made me a little iffy. It wasn't necessarily the minor sex scenes, but literally, people were just dogs in the story -- especially all the guys. Isn't Gabriel like.... 20 years older than Vivian?

Just to further this case, I tried to read another of Annette's books, the SILVER KISS, which is a vampire book. And I stand corrected. Most of the story is internal monologue, and no action. I can see why any girl would like Annette's materials, but I just don't fall in the target market.

It's funny how Annette works. I've read all three of her books, and they all differ greatly between each other. Alien Secrets has less thinking and more of the doing than Blood & Chocolate and The Silver Kiss.

Contributing to the topic:
The next book I plan to read is the Twilight series and a book called The Silver Wolf. Both of which are about (or, at least have) werewolves.

Oooh. Finally a topic about werewolf books. I've read every book mentioned here save for Twilight and Bad Moonlight - just haven't found any R.L. Stine books around lately ;_;

Least Favorite: Wolf's Trap by W. D. Gagliani. It's got adult themes, so be warned. I hate hate hate hate it. It makes Blood and Chocolate tame. The writing is horrible. Horrible horrible horrible. If you see it on the shelf, leave it there. It is baaaad.

Favorite: Bitten by Kelley Armstrong and its following: Stolen, and Broken. It's a 1st person POV, but I got hooked after reading it. It takes place in Eastern North America, has some adult themes, but I love the pack orientation. Elena is a realistic character dealing with an unrealistic situation. It's part of the 'Women of the Otherworld' series, of which I still need to get my paws on the rest of. I also enjoy the Kitty series, and am waiting on the next installment
