Werewolf books

Stories where people turn into wolves, or live alongside those who do. Sometimes the change is a curse and a secret, sometimes a pack with its own politics and loyalties. Remus Lupin in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is one of the best-known examples, Terry Pratchett gives Angua a place in the Ankh-Morpork City Watch in Men at Arms, and paranormal romance adds its own shape-shifters.
