3. Soulless by Gail Carriger
Soulless is the first book in Gail Carriger’s genre-bending “Parasol Protectorate” series. It blends Victorian romance with urban fantasy, alternative history and steampunk, all set in an era where vampires and werewolves exist.
It features the eponymous protagonist, Alexia Tarabotti, who is born with no soul. As a result, she neutralizes supernatural creatures by touch. Vampires retract their fangs when she touches them, and werewolves return to human form.
This is a very unique premise. It’s one that I found myself scratching my head for a bit, but I still enjoyed it.
The book is set in a fictitious Victorian England where vampires and werewolves are accepted as part of the everyday world. The vampire mythology is a little different, with vampires and werewolves thought to be caused by having excess “soul.” It’s all very Victorian and fun!
4. Into the Darkness by Rachel Vincent
Into the Darkness is a unique take on the werewolf genre, mixing Greek mythology with wolves and vampires. It’s a surprisingly effective mix that keeps Ari’s plight at the centre of the novel and mixes up almost every supernatural type, giving the story a fresh, involving feel.
The author creates a fantastic world that will pique your curiosity as Delilah slowly uncovers a side of herself she never knew existed. You’ll sympathize with her, desperate to see her succeed.
This is an excellent read and i highly recommend it to anyone who loves urban fantasy or YA fantasy romance. Rachel Vincent has written an excellent, believable werewolf story that’s sure to get your pulse racing and make you want to read more!
5. Wolf Moon by Jennifer Armentrout
The latest from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Lux series has all the hallmarks of a top-notch contemporary YA novel. Featuring the best combination of escapology, intrigue and ensuing human vs monster bloodshed since the end of the dinosaur era, the tale of Simone and Gabe is not short on thrills. This one will leave you wishing for more hunky werewolves.
This was a fun read, if not for the main characters, then at least as a setting in which to let loose and enjoy the scenery. The best part of the story was watching Simone finally find the courage to let her guard down a bit, and it wasn’t long before she was enjoying a full-on brawl, in the company of the likes of the local rabids. This was a real treat for me and i can’t wait to see where things go from here.
6. Shiver by Stephenie Meyer
When it comes to paranormal romance, you can’t go wrong with a book by Stephenie Meyer. She’s written a number of books that have sold well and have been made into blockbuster films.
‘Shiver’ is one such book. It is the story of a young girl named Grace who has watched wolves from her backyard for years. She’s especially drawn to a yellow-eyed wolf that saved her from an attack as a child.
This is a sweet love story with some interesting ideas about werewolves and their relationship with humans. But it falls a little short of what the Twilight franchise has to offer in terms of plot, character development and storytelling.
7. Wolf Moon by Sarah Reese
The January full moon, also known as the Wolf Moon, will light up the skies this week. It will reach peak illumination at 2:18 p.m. EST on Thursday and will be visible until sunset.
The full moon’s name comes from a variety of sources, including Native American and European cultures. The Algonquin tribes dubbed it “wolf moon,” because January is a time when wolves are more likely to howl.
It is not the first time we have seen a werewolf referenced in literature. The children’s picture book Tokyo Akazukin has a character named Red Riding Hood (also referred to as Li’l Red), who is a young woman with a wolf-like appearance.
Another werewolf-themed film is the Norwegian thriller-horror Viking Wolf, which drops Thale (Elli Muller Osborne) into a town that’s being attacked by a vicious wolf-like creature. She’s the chief of police, and it’s her job to try to solve the mystery behind this mysterious phenomenon.
8. Wolf Moon by Jennifer Armentrout
If you loved Jennifer Armentrout’s Lux series then you will love this book! It takes place a few years after the invasion of Earth. Humans are still skittish around the Luxen that came to Earth, but they’re slowly learning to accept them.
Evie is at a night club when she meets Luc, a man that she thinks is one of the Luxen. Their eyes connect and she finds herself drawn to him.
Despite her attempts to ignore him, he knows things about her she shouldn’t know. It’s clear he’s not just a Luxen, but something much more.
The book is really well written, with some very interesting twists and turns. It’s definitely a must read! If you’re looking for a thrilling story with some amazing characters then I highly recommend this book. The ending is also very good and I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series!
9. Wolf Moon by Rachel Vincent
When Adele turns sixteen, she learns that she’s a werewolf. She’s also a guardian, one of a long line of women who take on wolf form in order to protect their villages from the white wolves that have been growing closer around their towns.
Her betrothed, a carpenter from another village, is coming to visit her, and she’s determined to keep him safe. But she quickly discovers that being a wolf is no walk in the park.
The characters are well-developed and the story is fast-paced and action-packed. It’s definitely worth checking out if you enjoy werewolf romance.
