Most of the ones I've enjoyed have been historical PNR, I think, besides Briggs. Try Shiver or Bitten. Here's my werewolf shelf, if you want to check it out too.

The Riley Jenson Guardian series by Keri Arthur is about a half-were, half-vamp (she says she's more wolf than vamp)
Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson seriesCarrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville series
Howling at the Moon series Karen MacInerney
Marked by Moonlight series Sharie Kohler
For one that isn't a main character, you can try City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. The werewolves aren't the main characters, but they're pretty close?
I went looking through my shelves and have come to a conclusion. I have NOT read enough books about werewolves!
Definately pick up the Mercedes Thompson series. I go back and forth between liking Mercy or Alpha & Omega better. It usually depends on which book I read last ;)
Blood and Chocolate was also very good.
I'm going to bump some of these other rec's up on my To-Read list I think.

Ilona Andrews in her Kate Daniels series Magic Bites, Magic Burns, Magic Strikes has shapeshifters that include werewolves.
There's a book called
that has a crazy way of becoming a werewolf. I read it a long time ago, but I thought it was pretty good.
Just finished the Kate Daniels series - loved it! Couldn't put them down!They are not only about werewolves, though, a bunch of weres are running around. Kate ranks up there with MercedesMoon Called(which I devoured that series as well) on the kick ass scale. Loved the fight scenes in the Daniels series
The latest werewolf story I have really enjoyed is Shiver/Linger.
Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce with a great cover
should definately be checked out! It's a very different take on the story we've read...Also look for Sharp Teeth: A Novel by Toby Barlow. Also with an unusual cover, this is a novel written in blank verse, but not YA!
Here are books I enjoyed with werewolves, loosely in order of preference with FAVS first.Mercy Thompson series and Alpha & Omega series by Patricia Briggs (Don't miss the anthology in On the Prowl,which is a prequel to Cry Wolf)

I'm always on the lookout for werewolf novels where FEMALE WEREWOLVES play a prominent part. That's why I'm such a fan of the Kitty Norville werewolf novels by Carrie Vaughn.Here are some other werewolf novels I recently came across in which FEMALE WEREWOLVES rule!
1) Once Bitten by Trina M. Lee
2) Wolfbreed by S.A. Swann
3) Wolf's Cross by S.A. Swann
4) Strength of the Wolf by Jorrie Spencer
5) Curse of the Wolf Girl by Martin Millar
In my book Tamed, the main character is a female werewolf. She is a firefighter who gets infected. The story is a unique take on werewolves as the creatures have been domesticated and sold as pets. Also, I saw a werewolf apocalypse book I thought I might check out the other day. I think it was called Bestial- werewolf apocalypse but I can't recommend it because I haven't read it yet.

I've heard of her series...it's next on my list. :D Thank you for reminding me. :D
I'm really keen on reading the upcoming novel Kitty Steals the Show by Carrie Vaughn, which is the latest installment in the Kitty Norville Saga. For those Goodreads members not in the know, Kitty is a 20-something radio host who has a nighttime show on the paranormal with a national following --- and happens to be a werewolf.
KOMET I agree with your endorsement of Kitty and the Midnight Hour -- that's the first book -- by Carrie Vaughn. But I'd edit your description to:For those Goodreads members not in the know, Kitty is a 20-something (I think she's closer to or above 30, but that's a quibble) radio host who has a nighttime call-in show on the paranormal with a national following because she's an out werewolf.

Hi Julia,
Thanks for the correction. To date, I've read most of the novels of the Kitty Norville Saga. Frankly, it's refreshing to have stories of the werewolf genre where a WOMAN WEREWOLF stands out by virtue of her grit, determination, and sheer nerve. (All too often, in werewolf novels these days, if there is a pairing between a woman [werewolf or no] and a male werewolf, the male werewolf is given far more weight. Women are little more than props for the male's pleasure and/or control.)
I'm always on the lookout for a werewolf novel where female werewolves come to the fore and are well-developed characters.
I will also second (third, fourth, whatever) the vote for Kitty Norville.Also, if you're interested in werewolf fiction, I have this blog...
