Anyone know of really good werewolf book series?

A Really good werewolf series I came across lately was A Werewolf's Saga by Michael Lampman. The first in the series Changes a werewolf's saga is followed by The Pack and Redemption and I guess will continue on with others. Its a good read and changes a lot of what a werewolf is.

Well if you want a good werewolf series there is always Kelley Armstrong's "Women of the other world"
