And I didn’t care for William, the wolf shifter hero of Bayou Moon, because he had this canine neediness. I don’t care what his reasons were, marking your territory outside like a dog, even at night, is the antithesis of sexy. On the other hand, shortly after we meet Sean, the wolf shifter love interest in their Innkeeper Chronicles series, he urinates around his and Dina’s neighborhood. It was appealing without being overly adorable. He was a little boy who was into everything and sniffing everything, and a great tracker, which was at once childlike and wolflike and worked really well for that particular story. My favorite Andrews’ shifter was Jack in On the Edge (not so much in the later sequels).

Janine: I like some of Ilona Andrews’ shifters, but not all. In that world shifters are humans infected with special virus – they certainly have some animalistic characteristics, but they are humans living with virus, that’s pretty much it and I love how easily they incorporate some things that some animals will do in nature and that to me deepens the characterizations of them as humans. Sirius: I love how all shifters are portrayed in the Kate Daniels series. Popular and/or Wolf Shifter Books in Contemporary Settings We hope you enjoy these!
