    I have a bit of a problem with mind-bonding animals - it seems to me to be a trope for slavery in it’s more modern manifestations rather than lurv. But I do love werewolves that do their own thing in accordance with their own biology. Patricia Briggs does excellent werewolves, as does Tanya Huff. Must try Lumley - who has not previously come up on my radar. Thanks for the tip(s).

      Briggs rings a distant bell. Shall look up.

      Warning: Lumley gets into tentacle rape territory Very not sexy vampires.

        Zero problem. I have read the ancient greeks. They don’t hold back on the darker side of human existence. Briggs is a delight - I strongly recommend her website where she discusses the practical side of making silver bullets. Turns out that this task is a LOT more complex than most fiction authors would have you believe. The economics are also atrocious. Vampire/werewolf hunting in 20/21 century is a VERY expensive business.
