♦Shiver...Maggie Stiefvater



For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

♦Never Cry Werewolf...Heather Davis



Moonlight can totally change your life.



And it all starts so simply.



You. Him.



The moon.



You're toast.



Okay, so maybe Shelby has made a few mistakes with boys lately (how was she supposed to know Wes had "borrowed" that Porsche?). But her stepmother totally overreacts when she catches Shelby in a post-curfew kiss with a hot senior: Suddenly Shelby's summer plans are on the shelf, and she's being packed off to brat camp. It's good-bye, prom dress; hello, hiking boots.



Things start looking up, though, when Shelby meets fellow camper (and son of a rock star) Austin Bridges III. But soon she realizes there's more to Austin than crush material—his family has a dark secret, and he wants Shelby's help guarding it. Shelby knows that she really shouldn't be getting tangled up with another bad boy . . . but who is she to turn her back on a guy in need, especially such a good-looking one? One thing's for sure: That pesky full moon is about to get her into trouble all over again.

Werewolves... -Shiver- Maggie Stiefvater -Wereling- Stephen Cole -Cry Wolf- Patricia Briggs Vampires... -The Morganville Vampires There are lots of other vampire romance series out there, like Vampire Academy, House of Night, Immortals, You might like Strange Angels- Lili St. Crow, although there is no romance between two different species (so to speak, just humans) I personly loved Shiver, because after the action in Twilight, it was a perfectly written book about romance, with a little action, but mostly love and beauty... yep. Good luck

The Southern Vampire Mystery Series (aka the Sookie Stackhouse series) (aka True Blood TV series) by Charlaine Harris



This series pretty much everything. Sookie can read minds (a telepath) and she wants to meet a vampire, who came out 2 or 3 years prior to the first book after the Japanese developed fake blood initially for medical purposes. She does meet a vampire (or several) but then discovers here are weres (not just werewolves but other weres too), shifters and a host of other "creatures".





Night World by L J Smith



It focuses on the Night World (vampires, weres and witches)





City of ~ (City of Bones etc)



Haven't read but does have weres apparently

I would suggest the Night World Series by L.J. Smith.



Summaries (in my word, so they aren't as good as normal ones)

BTW- they are a lot better than Twilight, but it isn't just werewolves- it's vampires, witches, shape-shifters, and werewolves!



These books are suspenseful, horrific, romantic, and fantasy.

Night World 1 includes the stories Secret Vampire, Daughters of Darkness, and Spellbinder. In Secret Vampire, Poppy is diagnosed with cancer and her best friend and secret love James is the only one who can save her. Poppy is a second kind of witch- there are two different kinds. One knows their heritage, and the second is a lost witch that doesn’t know they are a witch (they don’t find out Poppy, Phillip [her twin brother], and their dad are witches until the end of the book). It is a suspenseful romance and a fight to survive. When James tells Poppy he is a vampire and can save her, she agrees- but her brother Phillip walks in while they are exchanging blood (how to make a human a vampire- exchange blood) and he stops them. Finally, Poppy is turned into an illegal vampire and then James’s brother Ash comes for a visit and convinces Poppy to leave James- that it would protect him (Ash just wanted to fool around with Poppy and then expose her- causing her death). It’s a race against time as Phillip and James race to stop Ash from exposing Poppy. In Daughters of Darkness, three vampire sisters (Krestel, Jade, and Rowan) leave the island they lived on all their lives to be free. They go to live with their Aunt Opal, but when they get there the sisters discover their aunt was murdered. They meet Mary-Lynnette Carter and her brother Mark, who help them find out who killed their aunt. They find out that Jeremy Lovett is a werewolf living in the small town Briar Creek with them, and he is crazy and only cares about his “territory”. He killed Aunt Opal because he wanted to give her nieces a sign that the land was taken and they had to leave- but they didn’t. Throughout this book, Jade and Mark find out they are soul mates, and Mary-Lynette is soul mates with the sisters’ brother Ash. Finally, in Spellbinder, Blaise and Thea are the last of the Harman bloodline. They are very known witches, but Blaise keeps getting them expelled from school by putting spells on boys to destroy their lives. At the last school their in, Blaise chooses Eric, but Thea (her cousin) tells her not to and that she decided to “stake a claim” but really she is in love with him (they are soul mates). Blaise and Thea get caught up in their quarry and the better witch gets him. Thea just wants him to be happy and knows that Blaise is planning to destroy his life, so she does a forbidden spell, which backfires, and a witch comes out and starts killing people. Suddenly Eric and Thea are fighting to be together in this suspenseful love story. In Night World 2, there are Dark Angel, The Chosen, and Soulmate. In Dark Angel, Gillian is the shy girl nobody ever really noticed, one day she almost dies, but an ‘angel’ saves her. He helps her become more noticed, but soon he requests things that Gillian starts to question- who is Angel really? In The Chosen, Rashel lost her family as a child because of vampire Hunter Redfern. She has become a vampire hunter and she is strong mentally, physically and emotionally. She devoted herself to finding the killer of her mother and littler brother and she becomes the most feared vampire hunter of all- The Cat. When she encounters Quinn, a vampire with a reputation to match Rashel’s, they are both confused and alive. They discover a bond and realize they are soulmates but risk everything in this amazing story. Finally, in Soulmate, Hannah’s life was perfect before the notes came along. She is the one who wrote them, but doesn’t recall writing any of the death threatening notes. At therapy sessions, her newest therapist tries hypnotizing Hannah so they can find out the truth. When they do, they find out Hannah has been reincarnated since the Stone Age, following (vampire) Thierry- the Lord of the Night World and also her soul mate. Hannah starts losing trust in Thierry, and Maya (the first vampire ever) is trying to kill Hannah and keep Thierry for herself. Through all of Hannah’s lives, Maya has killed her on her 18th birthday for hundreds of years- but Thierry is determined to stop the cycle and save the one he loves most. When Maya captures Hannah and plans to finally kill her forever, Thierry finds out and it’s another race against time. Thierry has three days to find Hannah and save her, or else it’s too late- can he make it? In Night World 3, the stories are Huntress, Black Dawn, and Witchlight. These stories are all connected and involve the four Wild Powers, which if they are all together and fighting as one, can prevent the apocalypse. In Huntress, Jez Redfern finds out that she isn’t full vampire- she is half human. When she finds this out she leaves her gang of vampire friends, and joins CircleDaybreak. She moves in with her moms human family and secretly hunts down renegade Night World citizens. It isn’t easy controlling her double life, especially with her cousin Clare always getting involved, but it gets worse when Circle Daybreak gives her a new mission. Morgead Blackthorn, a member of Jez’s old gang has found one of the four Wild Powers. Jez tries to uncover the mystery of the Wild Power before any of her old friends catch on, but while doing this she discovers her soul mate is Morgead and that she is the Wild Power! In Black Dawn, Maggie Neely tries to find out why her brothers girlfriend, Sylvia, is at her house, lying, and telling her family that Maggie’s bother Miles is missing and most likely dead from mountain climbing. Maggie follows Sylvia home, only to get passed out and end up waking in a slave-trade cart. Maggie was transported to a secret enclave within the Night World that is cut off from the human world. Meeting three other slaves in the cart, one being blind (the blind maiden Aradia), they get caught up in the fate of the kingdom and the horrible people within. When Maggie meets Prince Delos, everything changes and suddenly there is hope for survival- but it will be hard. Maggie and Delos are soul mates, and Delos is another Wild Power. It is suddenly a battle, Delos and Maggie are fighting to save each other and Maggie is fighting to save every slave as well. Finally, in Witchlight, Keller is a shape-shifting panther, who is trying to save the third Wild Power/Witch Child, Iliana Dominick. As the Witch Child, Iliana must marry the son of the First House of shape-shifters to unite the witches with the shape-shifters. Unfortunately, Iliana is a second kind of witch, a “lost witch”, and doesn’t know anything about the Night World. Keller finds out that a dragon has been awakened, and he causes much trouble and harm. Finally, Keller and Galen Drache are soul mates, but Galen is the son of the First House of shape-shifters, which means his fate is to marry Iliana.

Night World No. 3 by L.J. Smith. It was an amazing book that I absolutely adored. The genre of this book was romance, suspense, horror, science fiction, and fantasy. It’s about vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters, witches, and humans. In this book, there are three stories- Huntress, Black Dawn, and Witchlight. These stories are all different, but all connected at the same time. Circle Daybreak is an organization that is trying to prevent the end of the world. It needs all four blue fires, and throughout the story, it they end up with three. The fourth not yet found, could mean life or death for all humans. Circle Daybreak is made up of vampires, shape-shifters, witches, and even some humans that are trying to save the entire human population before darkness takes over. Night World is made up of human hating vampires, shape-shifters, and witches that are trying to find the blue fires to help destroy the human race and be able to take over, letting humans know about their existence when the population begins to grow again. The Night World is Circle Daybreaks biggest enemy. All the Night World needs is one blue fire to take over the world, and so far Circle Daybreak has all the blue fires that have been found; needing only one blue fire left to save the world (prevent the apocalypse)
