Any good books about shapeshifters (not werewolves or Vampires)?

Patricia Briggs has some books about a woman (Mercy Thompson) who's a coyote shapeshifter. The books also have vampires and werewolves in them, but the main focus is on the shapeshifter. The first book is Moon Called. Mercy doesn't act like a werewolf, even though she was raised by them...her mother didn't know what to do with her after her father died.

I've read all of Briggs' books and I can safely say that they are excellent. She really can tell a story, her characters are fascinating, and she's very careful about continuity. For instance, Laurel Hamilton (someone who writes about vampires and werewolves) is notorious about having continuity flaws. In the first book I read by her, her heroine totalled the car in one chapter, and then, in a later chapter, drove that car...no, the car hadn't been fixed, and she hadn't bought another one, the author was simply too lazy to make her story consistent. Things like that bug me.

Anyway, give Briggs a chance, and email me if you want more fantasy or science fiction recommendations. But I'm pretty picky about what I read.

Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thompson books are one of my favourite series. But there's also the Riley Jensen series by Keri Arthur, the first book is called Full Moon Rising. She's an Australian author so the books are set in Melbourne, and the main character is a Vampire/Werewolf hybrid, but there are A lot of other kinds of shape shifters as you get further into the series. This includes a Horse shifter named Kade, and a range of bird shifters.

Anne Rice's different books (Pandora, The Vampire Armand, Blood and Gold, and her mayfair witches novels.) while i replaced into youthful i replaced into extremely prepared on Amelia Atwater-Rhodes vampire novels, they're short and exciting. in case you sense like going old college Bram Stoker's Dracula is an super study. another books you will be able to like (delusion fiction) are Tithe, Valient, and Ironside by skill of Holly Black. i could additionally propose the Gemma Doyle Trilogy by skill of Libba Bray (a super and poor splendor, rebellion Angels, and the candy a strategies factor); And in case you desire something dark i could propose a undeniable Slant of sunshine. it is a e book from a ghost's attitude. i does no longer propose vampire fluff like the domicile of evening series or the Blue bloods. From what i've got study they're greater approximately gossip and cliques than actually bloodsucking.

Well there's a series out there about that I can't recall the name, but I believe it was about kids who slowly turned into animals.

There are alot of books about werecats too.

Animorphs.
